🚨We're long-listed for the NTAs in the Entertainment category. There are 20 of us so a LONG list! Please consider voting for #TheAssembly before the end of Friday. 🚨 https://t.co/18d0kUNd4q
The mighty @Rylan appears on one my favourite TV shows, #TheAssembly, tonight at 10pm on ITV1. An ace episode. I wrote about how TV’s best – and most gloriously blunt – chatshow ripped up the rulebook. Features contributions from @MrDDyer and @LennyHenry https://t.co/1kdkt4ZmXe
The mighty @Rylan appears on one my favourite TV shows, #TheAssembly, this weekend (10pm Sunday on ITV1). I wrote about how TV’s best – and most gloriously blunt – chatshow ripped up the rulebook. Features contributions from @MrDDyer and @LennyHenry https://t.co/1kdkt4ZmXe
We're up against some STIFF competition in this long list. Would you consider voting for #theassembly in the Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award category, please?

An excellent piece by @CamillaLong that articulates what many people have been saying for the past two years — especially those of us on the ground who have reported and witnessed evidence we will never forget and spoken directly with those who survived the atrocity.

2 councillors died before election
Several now suspended for various bits of bigotry
At least 1 doesn’t exist
Others want to stand down cos they didn’t know it’s unpaid
1 thought he would be in Parliament
They don’t need a Whip, they need a Missing Persons Officer
Women: I want to go for a run.
Society: You can’t go alone. You’ll get raped.
Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage.
Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you’ll get raped.
Women: I want to live alone.
Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too.
Women: What about going to the park?
Society: Dangerous.
Women: Okay, I’ll just go out for a drink then.
Society: Don’t take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times.
Women: I was raped.
Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.
As a Muslim, I’ll say what many Muslims are too scared to admit:
When people slaughter innocent humans in the name of Allah, quote Quran and Hadith to defend it, scream “this is Jihad” and proudly claim God sent them… don’t expect the world to just smile and clap.
Only a fool would pretend that kind of madness doesn’t make people fear Islam.
The truth is, extremists have damaged the image of Islam more than any Islamophobe ever could.
