Stories of Syria: Hopes and Fears

[Making Light @MakingLight2014]

Feel it's time to be more open. Making Light came about because of John's kidnap in Syria. John is a journalist. John is my brother. Making Light is my legacy to him, continuing his work to tell stories of people of Syria. Quiet Voices need to be heard too.

@Matt_VanDyke @janinedigi @JamesFoleyFund Seared into me for more reasons than either of you . absolutely not ‘this day’ and distasteful beyond measure to use murders for your careers

The lovely little church of All Saints in Steep, #Hampshire Laurence Whistler designed two lancet windows on the south wall of the church to commemorate the poet Edward Thomas, who lived in the village.

The review of Prevent, #Britain's counter-extremism policy, showed alarming amounts of public money going to #Islamist extremists. Worse, £10,000 went to the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC), an #Iran-aligned group, through the pandemic relief funds. https://t.co/sNUh0q2mCL

Every word of this. And the look on Ken Clarke’s face tells me he agrees but is still Tory enough not to say so.

Listen to this. I just cannot understand the lack of imagination and concern it takes not to understand why it’s appalling to lock male offenders up with the vulnerable group of women in prison. In the name of “progress” too. Yeah, right.

It was six years ago, and my mate, Pink, had just been told he was going to die. He accepted the news with a grace I can only marvel at, but he said he’d a list of things he’d still like to do.

We sat in a pub one night and read it over. Eight things? Four months? Ok. Deal.

@SmallholdersUK As a part time reader of @SmallholdersUK can I just say how AMAZING I think you are - so much genuine information and knowledge imparted in such a short time. Thank you 🙏

[Making Light @MakingLight2014]

@dartmoornpa Very sad decision. My (grown) kids and Ive walked & wild camped across Dartmoor several times - doing it gives you an incredible , liberating sense of being part of nature & you notice so much more of its beauty & subtleties when you’re in it for a prolonged time.

[Making Light @MakingLight2014]

@tfine Lovely thing to say. Thank you 🙏

[Making Light @MakingLight2014]

Whatever you think of him, this story from Richard Hammond is quite something

@JDaviesPhD Having a couple of people I chose to trust and just doing my best

[Making Light @MakingLight2014]

@PoliticsJOE_UK What reasons were given for her being remanded in custody ? Expectation is unconditional bail until hearing and have to be v good reasons to remand

[Making Light @MakingLight2014]

@EliotHiggins Sounds reasonable

[Benny Hunter @BennnyH]

Was in Manston today, at the detention camp. We saw so many young children - from Syria, Afghanistan and Iran. The narrative much of the media is presenting is false.

The chants of "freedom" and "we need your help" will stay with me for a long time.
