ESOL to a Solicitor! Took almost 14 years & finally made it! I had an amazing training contract as a #JFF thanks to @The_LEF for this opportunity and @EalingLawCentre for making it happen. 💕💕

@elondonmosque appreciate all the support in achieving this for the community it is continually serving for years 🤍🤍

@AnasibnKhan @westfieldstrat @e20thespace MashAllah such a great news, when I tweeted this, it was actually closed.

[Syeda Afaz @AafzSyeda]

@westfieldstrat when there is a multi faith prayer room, it does not make sense that people are forced to pray outside the locked room as well as other places in the centre, please can this be sorted especially for the weekend when many people are visiting there?

[Syeda Afaz @AafzSyeda]

@westfieldstrat Any reason for running it only during the specific time? Also, I am not sure why volunteers needed to maintain this space when it is based in such a big shopping centre? Surely normal members of staffs/ security can take care of this space just like everything else?

[Syeda Afaz @AafzSyeda]

@AnasibnKhan @westfieldstrat @e20thespace This was also closed and I was told that the space was only open during the Ramadan

My dad grew up in Luton in the 1970s. The term Paki was used by racist thugs as they sought to make life hell for my dad's generation. When racist gangs would target South Asians in the street they would literally describe it as 'Paki-Bashing.' It's never been banter.

@GarySSteel @CharlyRandleLaw I qualified as a solicitor last year, took me many years starting as a ESOL student while I was also a single parent of two young children, my son is now at university! It has been a long journey but being a mature student is an achievement one can selfishly feel proud of!

So lovely being instructed by an old classmate from @UniWestminster. As results day just passed, it’s important to remember that rankings don’t mean everything. We both studied law in a non Oxbridge non Russell Group uni, and now we are both in our dream jobs. @uw_alumni

Anyone who needs support following tonight's serious incident in #Plymouth please know there is help available

[Mira Hammad @MiraHammad10]

A nuclear power is mercilessly bombarding an occupied civilian population in the context of apartheid. Killing whole families, destroying homes, education and healthcare facilities and tweeting gloating memes about it. And lawyers don't have the moral courage to call it out.

STOP. ATTACKING. JEWS.!
There is no excuse, no "Yeah, but...", no justification for attacks on Jews.

Just a general reminder: you can support Palestine without turning your ire on British Jews, who are not responsible for Netanyahu's evil acts (and for the most part certainly don't support them either).

[Syeda Afaz @AafzSyeda]

@MaryRachel_McC It breaks my heart hearing the pain in her voice, she feels so helpless but we do have the power of collectively condemning this ethnic cleansing. Thank you for sharing!

[Zillur Rahman @ZillRah7]

As #lawyers, we are supposed to be those who uphold #justice. It is disappointing that many fail to do this on the issue of #Palestine when the injustice is clear. As #MartinLutherKing said:”In the end, we will not remember the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends”
