So many of us have experienced people like Susanna Reid. Those who will say their ‘on your side’ and join you in the office kitchen bitching about how terrible/racist someone is. But then giggle and laugh beside them as they gaslight and berate you for ‘banter’

This is my issue with volunteer tourism and poverty porn. You do this work because YOU want to make it look like YOU are a good person and the work, whilst it may help people, is centred around you, your ego and your white saviour complex
