Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum.

Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

That's my union. The Writers' Guild of Great Britain is proactive rather than reactive, and has writers' backs. If you're a UK writer and not a member, make it your union too.
WGGB General Secretary Ellie Peers seconded a motions on New rights to address AI-generated digital replicas, enforce and strengthen existing UK copyright legislation, and to protect jobs in the creative industries at today's TUC Congress.
