I have removed my bio due to abusive remarks I received. The remarks were sent to me as I challenged racist remarks. I’m too old to deal with personal abuse.

I am horrified that a car has been deliberately set alight outside the home of the family of Salma Yaqoob, a wonderful prominent anti-racist and peace campaigner in Birmingham.

I hope the police take this shocking incident seriously. Sending my solidarity to Salma & her family.

@TRobinsonNewEra @elonmusk Well look on the bright side Mr Robinson (or whatever name you’re going by this week), I can promise that you’ll never have to thank me for anything. I’m afraid the only way you have become popular with some people is through appearing to be a stranger to the truth. Shameful.

[Dr. Hamza Al-Shaafii @DrHamze_M]

James White wasn’t a ‘fantastic bloke’ by any moral standard. If your idea of ‘fantastic’ is someone who platformed hate, mocked the oppressed, and pushed divisive rhetoric, then you’re clearly living on a different planet, Piers certainly not Earth. Spare us the fantasy eulogies.

@SarahForRuncorn Surely it would have been prudent to make your visit to the person in question, getting your facts together, BEFORE leaving a post on social media?

Leaving 1/2 a story is likely to cause more unrest & outbursts of hate, when leaving a story that does not contain the full facts

[Teresa. @askinsdt]

Thank you so much for your response to my comment. But how very wrong you are Sir. I have lived in multi ethnic/cultural areas most of my life, and worked in the same. I do not have a problem with this at all.

I was simply trying to make the point that I couldn’t see any other purpose for such an article, unless it was to stir hatred. If there is a constructive point to it, then I am delighted.

Sadly however, even through some of the responses to my post, it would appear that hatred is certainly out there, as well as a great deal of unfounded assumptions about people. How truly sad and pointless I feel this hate and abuse towards others is.

May I make it clear that I am not suggesting that your remark was rude, or abusive at all, for which I thank you. But perhaps it maybe better for us to ask questions of people, rather than assume we know the details of others lives.

My very best wishes to you.

Teresa.

[Teresa. @askinsdt]

If you’re referring to me, what makes you think that my compassion is “artificial”? You don’t know me, and are making assumptions about my compassion.

I would totally agree with you that artificial expressions of compassion could well be dangerous, but I assure you I have never lied, or pretended to feel compassionate about anything in my life. But that’s something that I can only tell you. I am afraid I have no way of reassuring you of that on here. I know who I am, what I stand for and why I feel the way that I do.

I wish you well, and thank you for taking the time to reply.

Well said Jeramy.

Selective broadcasting and racism on an individual and institutional level has an enormous amount to answer for.

They have let down the people of Palestine on such a huge scale. However so has our politicians over the years, who have disregarded the lives of so many Palestinian people. They too carry such a huge burden of responsibility for lives lost in Palestine over many, years. Everyone of them should be utterly ashamed of themselves, and where appropriate, held accountable for their negligence of duty, and complicity in the genocide the Palestinian people have suffered, at the hands of the Israeli government.

Shame on every single one of them.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Many in our media are finally waking up to the unspeakable horrors that Palestinians are enduring in Gaza.

It is too late.

Israel inflicted these horrors because they were encouraged to do so, in part by a media class that failed to treat all human life with equal worth.

If the only problem the world had with Trump being President of the most powerful country in the world, was an occasional ‘ senior moment’ as a planet, we would be doing pretty well. Sadly that’s only a minute part of the picture. He is self serving, a felon, and man that has no concern for treating women in the most disgraceful way, including committing crimes against them, has no concern for the welfare of the people of his country, or beyond its shores, or simply appears to have no concept of what the role of President means.

It really should be on these issues that he should be removed from office.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: In a shocking senile
moment, Donald Trump appears confused as he walks to the opposite side of the room and needed to be guided back to the right direction. Should we start asking if he’s fit enough for the job?

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The government was wrong to cut winter fuel payments.

It was wrong to keep the 2-child benefit cap.

It was wrong to slash disability benefits.

Pushing people into poverty is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is redistribute wealth so everyone can live in dignity.

What an unusual headstone. I am sure it was such a surprise to you and the family. Is there no one who remembers him and his life still alive? It would be fascinating to find out.

My home county by the way. There are some very pretty villages in the area.

Best wishes to you.

Dear Louise.

Please tell this little one how beautiful they still are. Please tell them that we see them, who they are, and the beauty and love in their heart.

No one, however big the bomb, will ever take that away. We see them.

As for those who do this to the children? They have no beauty, either inside or out. Their heart, their soul their minds are dirty, scarred and revolting. NOTHING will ever remove that. There is simply no beauty for anyone to see in those who do this to a child.

There is nothing from Israel that enters my home, and their will be nothing from Israel that will enter my home from Israel ever again. I do not want their ugliness, their dirt to come across my doorstep ever again.

I send my love and my prayers and my hope for this sweet child, and every other from Palestine.

They are all the heart of my heart, now and for always.

Those who are doing all they can to help the children and babies of Palestine, and other places in the world are indeed the very best of humanity. I thank the Red Cross for paying tributes to these young men, who have lost their lives trying to help the most needy and vulnerable in the world.

There can never be an excuse good enough to make the killing of babies and children acceptable. There is no excuse now, and there never will be. Children are so very precious regardless of who they are and where they live. Each time one of them are killed or die, the world loses the joy, a gift and love each one of them has in their heart. How very sad that we are unable to see this, and we are willing to discard them. What a tragedy this is.

It is also a great tragedy that those who are trying to help these children and the most vulnerable are being murdered by the IDF in this instance. Such acts moves us further and further away from humanity and civilised behaviour. My heart is so very saddened by the situation in Palestine, and the monstrous conditions that they face.

I hope with all my heart that the day that these children can live their lives in safety, protection and happiness comes very soon.

The children who suffer in such circumstances will forever be the heart of my heart.

With love to them all, and love to the families of those who have been killed trying to help others, like those from the Red Cross.

Free Palestine.

Teresa.

Dear Michael.

I’m so, so sorry that you too are a ‘member’ of a club that no one should ever be part of.

To lose a child is truly the most painful thing we can ever experience. There are simply no words in any language, that can dequately describe that pain, sense of loss and sadness that we carry with us.

It’s rather like seeing the world through net curtains. We see it, but our view is obscured for most of the time. Thankfully there are times when the curtain is pushed aside, enabling us to experience some of the happiness that the world has to offer. But all too often that curtain returns, and we must live our lives as best as we can, with our view slightly obscured from the things we used to see so clearly before we lost that most precious child.

We lost our beautiful 11 year old Grangddaughter. One minute she was there enjoying life, and giving so much joy to those around her, the next minute she was gone. She died whilst on holiday with her Mommy, my daughter, her Daddy, my Son in Law and her younger siblings. She suffered as catastrophic cerebral aneurysm, without warning or prior symptoms. She really was beautiful, funny, kind, smart, and so very gifted. She was a singer and dancer, who brought so much joy.

Our lives will never return to what it was before that terrible event. But like you, we keep living. Our motivation to do so is the other children in the family, who we wanted so much for them to continue a happy childhood, rather than it stopping because of the loss of this dear child. We all have to try to find a reason to keep going, and to celebrate the things our children gave us that brought us happiness in so many different ways.

I truly am so sorry that your son is no longer here. But I hope that your memories of happiness of him continue to flood back into your mind, and that your times without the ‘net curtain’ are few and far between.

I send my love and very best wishes to you and your family.

Teresa. xxx
