I don’t speak of this often but listening to Nigel Farage in tonight’s debate I must.
My dad was an immigrant. From the moment he arrived in this country he worked hard every day in labouring jobs. My most vivid recollection is of his tired & weary eyes and oil stained overalls when he came home after a 12 hour factory shift. Even then he was able to raise a smile for us. He was kind & gentle & loved my mum with passion. He raised a family of 4 & instilled in each of us a fierce sense of right & wrong & love of country. His proudest day was when he became a British citizen. I recall him with love & affection & pride & carry the lessons he taught me in my heart every day. If it were not for my dad I would not be a lawyer today & in his memory I work hard everyday to make a difference for as many as I can. Immigration is a beautiful thing & don’t let charlatans like Farage tell you otherwise ❤️
Watching #LewisCapaldi at #Glastonbury,
I see a man brave enough to face the crowd,
To reveal his humanity to the world.
I see vulnerability.
I see strength.
And the crowd saw it too.
That's why they sang.
Thank you Lewis for being you.
@hubermanlab Really interesting podcast. I am taking from this that lifelong medication is not a given which is great news + any
plans to do a podcast on the ‘crossover’, co-morbidity and poss misdiagnosis of ADHD & Trauma..?

We made a little weekend song 🎶 about the #lockdownfiles. We'd like to dedicate it to @IsabelOakeshott & @MattHancock.
Sorry for chorus skips but didn't quite get it down to 2m20s & couldn't be arsed to re-record it. Annoying to only have partial material, isn't it?! 🤔
Valid point. I recall my son struggling as the words were ‘moving.’ He was sadly criticised at school for his reading+writing. Diagnosed as dyslexic- Now happy & creative. Wants to work in the movies #dyslexicstrenghs
