Bless the birds who stopped singing
Bless the date palms
Bless the endangered witnesses
Bless the strangers at the gate
Bless the widow
Bless the orphan
Bless the unnamed corpse under rubble
Bless the peace-makers
Bless the faith in the just world to come

Just last week I was down with colleagues @GoldsmithsUoL It beggars belief how this crisis is managed; the brutal ‘scoping’ or whatever the hokey kokey term is for what staff are experiencing as they hear news. This is Bullingdon Club style and there are better ways. Solidarity

I believe that MFL is as important as STEM subjects from an industry perspective. I have carried out a series of school visits to reinforce this message to students. This article in a local paper explains far better than I can. @ALL4language @ismla_uk @SALTLANGS @ALLYorksHumber

A wonderfully concise quote from James Butler in the latest LRB: “after twelve years of Conservative government, Britain is run-down, stagnant, expensive, underpaid, unequal, corrupt, socially fractured, backward-looking, hungry, tired and fearful.”
