Goodbye, X formerly known as Twitter. I do hope the non aggressive people will come to Threads.

Two things from the last 7 days 1. The number of friends and colleagues who have reached out / checked in to ask if I’m ok has been amazing and very moving - thank you ❤️ 2. The number of times I’ve ended my message to family with “stay safe” 😢 We need to make civilised dialogue , warm everyday encounters, a genuine desire to create understanding and disagreeing respectfully the norm and find ways to end clickbait, disinformation and shock jock “journalism”

Thank you, community leaders in Finchley, for this important statement.

I am a British nurse. I am not scared of immigration. I am not scared of islam. I AM scared of the far-right. #NotInMyName

Most people are decent….we must remember that.

Sir, Over the last few days we have watched in horror as a small minority has brought hatred, violence and vandalism to towns and cities across the country. We have seen anti-Muslim hatred and the targeting of mosques; asylum seekers and refugees attacked; violence directed towards the police and private property, all of which are a stain on our national moral conscience. Every British citizen has a right to be respected and a responsibility to respect others, so that together we can build a cohesive and harmonious society for all. As faith leaders, we salute the many people who have stepped forward to repair damage and restore their neighbourhoods. We pledge to work with government and all sections of society towards a constructive and compassionate dialogue on immigration and social cohesion. The Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis The Most Rev Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury Imam Dr Sayed Razawi, Chief Imam and director general of Scottish Ahlul Bayt Society Imam Qari Asim, chairman of Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster thetimes.com/comment/letters…

Useful questions to keep in your back pocket.

I’m appalled at the hatred poured out against Muslim communities and at asylum seekers. As Jews we know what it feels like to be hated for who we are. We stand in solidarity with all the victims of this racist violence. #HopeNotHate

I have read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius more than 6 times. But these are the 17 lessons of his that gave me chills. Read them carefully ↓

Awesome!

Received this note at #WOMAD from a teacher: I remember those workshops at #thomastallis school and also #kidbrooke in Greenwich.

Great thinkers are often prescient in their pronouncements, and Hannah Arendt is one of the greats...

Wonderful maiden speech by Sarah Sackman, MP, in which she celebrates the people of Finchley and Golders Green.

'Old habits die hard.' Keir Starmer sees the funny side after mistakenly referring to Rishi Sunak as the 'Prime Minister'.

I love this reminder of the democracy in which we live. ❤️
