Mustafa Hashem al-Darwish was a teenage protestor who now faces execution in Saudi Arabia after being brutally tortured. @FCDOGovUK@DominicRaab, will you please call on Saudi Arabia to stop Mustafa's execution?
@fantasticdrfox After a long day's travel we once absolutely nailed a very difficult Bach cantata with a little more energy than Gustav Leonhardt wanted. He later apologised if we'd misunderstood when he publicly accused the trumpets of purposely wrecking his concert

@BBCJonSopel An opportunity. Sell the 'great' in GB to Trump. We'd be better off without it - it leads to much misconception. He'd pay enough that we could no longer deny being able to afford social democracy.
Roots in a feudal system,sense of god-given entitlement.From 2010 willful destruction of a once-modernising society, promoting base values, shortening thousands of lives.Spawned a delusional messianic leader surrounded by dangerous extremists.#BanEton as a terrorist organisation?
