I drove east into London on the A40 this afternoon. Light breeze, not too hot. London is always beautiful in the sunshine.

Drove past Uxbridge. No riots, no looters, no cars overturned and ablaze, no sirens.

Drove past Greenford. No riots, no looters, no cars overturned and ablaze, no sirens.

Drove past Acton. No riots, no looters, no cars overturned and ablaze, no sirens.

Parked in Westfield. There is sun, no sign of rain, but the full rainbow of humanity is here indoors.

(They say they want their country back, but they actually want their empire back, the one their grandparents' generation lost. The Empire came home. And here we all are! )

The shop assistants everywhere were from every corner of the earth. The customers the same. Girls and boys, men and women, from every place in the world, peacefully going about their lives on a London Sunday in a cathedral to capitalism in Shepherds Bush.

No shouting. No swearing. No mugging. No knifing. No looting. No burning. Just the world in one city under a giant glass roof in peace.

Sometimes, you don't know how good you actually have it. When London is good, it's really bloody good.

Most places in England are good, most of the time. Most people in England are good, no matter what the forces that seek to divide us want us to believe.

I remember being broke and homeless 20 years ago this year, carrying my possessions in four bags and thanking God for my legs when I was deep in my material nadir.

You already have your country. I already have my country. Both can be true.

I don't want to take your job, unless I'm better at it. I don't want to put shariah in place over your head and in any case, the law in this country is about as close to shariah as I need. Why would I endanger that just to piss you off for some marginal gain? Think about it.

We can get along. We are not enemies. Those grifters are fooling you, scamming you, and they're thick. They think 1+1=Foreigners. Their sums don't add up. They get tax breaks. Do you? Work it out.

We aren't going anywhere and we won't roll over frightened like our parents did. We belong here. We ARE the British Empire. This is the legacy.

It's not us you want your country back from. It's the foreign papers, the con artists who took COVID money, the scum who bought our water, the financial institutions who gambled away our future and made us pay for their next round of bonuses in an endless era of austerity. We didn't freeze old people to death. We didn't make food banks necessary. Cameron and Co did all that. We're just easy targets. A distraction.

This is still a beautiful country. This is still a peaceful country. How about we find away to make it better for all of us:?

Isn't London beautiful in the sunshine?

Our country needs to hear this right now…

This is Jonathan Miller taking on Enoch Powell

Calling out the baselessness of racial fear and hatred

…and we need our leaders to follow suit.

Forget riots - why not compete in the The EDL-ympics! 🎾🥋🏓

A safe space to express your misdirected hatred 😃

Great comment from Reddit about the truth behind the Imane Khelif situation

[The 98% @the98percentpod]

The industry is harder than ever right now. For all creatives. The longer you spend in this profession, it usually becomes easier. Not any more. It’s not the same business as 3, 5, 10 years ago. It’s not you!!
This isn’t to be pessimistic instead, realistic in hopes of helping…

I’ve spent the past month playing The Good Fairy.
I always said the same thing at the end of the show.
This is me saying it for the last time.
A moment I won’t forget in a rush xx

Listen to Philipa, who lost her daughter during lockdown because she couldn’t go and see her when she called in distress, and remember what partygate was really about.

“I will never, ever forgive them”.

Warning: Her story is incredibly upsetting.

[Mark Thompson @SkyNewsThompson]

Sky News has spoken to a devastated family who say their five-year old child died this week after their pleas for him to be admitted into hospital were dismissed by staff at @RotherhamNHS_FT who told them they didn't have any spare beds. This is the story of Yusuf Mahmud Nazir.

Northern Theatre practitioners & facilitators.

I’m on the search for work in 2023, particularly in Higher/Further Education. Manchester-Liverpool-Leeds, etc.

If anybody has any leads or contacts, I’d be very grateful.

[Friendsical LIVE @FriendsicalLive]

Unfortunately in tonight’s performance a member of the audience shouted a racial slur at a cast member. We do not condone this behaviour and are very disappointed. Please refrain from coming to our fun family show if you are going to spread hatred.

New Mortgage = 5.1%, up from 1.7%
Daughter’s nursery = £823 a month
Energy Bills = 📈💷
Weekly wage on @EquityUK minimum? = £465 (£400 after agent commission)

Equity Minimum is not an adequate wage!

⬆️ This is why so many actors are leaving the industry.

It needs to change.
