Does rehashing old, offensive tweets create further damage and abuse to young black women online? Journalists BellaTheTwin and TobiRachel_ discuss:
How are you feeling about sending your kids back to school? Author Tamsin Calidas on I Am An Island. Plus the impact of the two child limit on families on Universal Credit.Many parents have been longing for the the day the kids can go back to school following the lockdown. How are you feeling about sending your children back into the classroom?
Over the last week, a number of old and offensive posts on Twitter have resurfaced. Many of them were written by influencers, artists and presenters. The majority of them contain abusive language towards dark skinned black women. Now the "court of public opinion" is calling for these individuals to be "cancelled". What's behind highlighting something some one said years ago? And what impact is it having on young black women online? .
Despite having no experience of crofting or of island life, Tamsin Calidas moves with her husband from London to a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. It’s idyllic, for a while but as the months wear on, Tamsin finds herself in ever-increasing isolation. She talks to Jane about beginning her journey back from the brink.
Plus a report out today from the Child Poverty Action Group and the Church of England suggests that tens of thousands of families newly claiming Universal Credit because of the pandemic and shutdown will be affected by the benefit’s two child limit. It means that for claimants with three or more children only those born before 6 April 2017 will be counted in the benefit payment. We hear why they want the cap to be lifted.
