After Afghanistan’s Men made it to the #T20WorldCup semi-finals, members of the former #Afghanistan Women’s Cricket team based in Aus have written to the @ICC asking for support in setting up a refugee team. They want this letter to be shared #bbccricket
Despite the fact @PoetsHaveTaken and I both have drama GCSEs and I have a copy of the play, it really won't be quite as good if we try to perform it ourselves....
Please, please @mrJamesGraham and @Channel4 can we have a re-run of The Vote on election night? 🙏
I appreciate there isn't now time to pen an updated version before polling day 😂https://t.co/Effng9nDWl
@PoetsHaveTaken@mrJamesGraham Being able to watch The Vote on election night would be incredible.

@PoetsHaveTaken@MadsDavies Not a figment of your imagination but alas, I fear the memories of it will have to sustain you. Whenever I venture into a new supermarket I always stroll down the frozen aisles, eyes hawk like searching for one and yet...Although, I fear it would not live up to our recollection.

The history of humanity teaches that not respecting the free choices of human beings does not make communities grow prosperously. Ghana is known in the world as a land of freedom and acceptance, the anti #LGBTQ bill would be a sensational own goal in terms of image and a step backwards in terms of civilized country.
There shouldn’t be any difference in how people in trouble at sea are treated.
But that isn’t the reality.
The effort to find and save one of these groups highlights the tragic lack of effort to save the other.
Every single person should have access to safety and rescue.
