I missed last year's RunReigate Half-Marathon but I am back this year, and again fund-raising for East Surrey Samaritans, the branch where I am a volunteer. If you are able to make a donation, whether it is small or large, we are very grateful for it. https://t.co/HJYgYkPCfe
I have created another crossword (my third so far). Have a look at it here (with solutions available) https://t.co/CsCHAOlOUX
For anyone who tries it, I hope you enjoy it - do let me know how you get one either directly or via the mycrossword comments.
I created a cryptic crossword. It is not perfect, I know, and one significant error has been corrected - thanks to my mother for spotting this one. If you are interested, please have a go at it and let me know what you think. https://t.co/M8FIvPSGlZ
I have created a cryptic crossword puzzle :-) https://t.co/M8FIvPTebx If you have a go I would love some feeback (either on the whole thing or individual clues)
No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.
Totally agree. Give back her passport. Let her return. If there is evidence that she has committed crimes then charge her, and if not then she should be helped to recover from the consequences of her misguided (possibly because of grooming) decisions at a very young age.
Where I live the tories have been power for over 100 years. The Tory candidate, Rebecca Paul fell for Liz Truss hook,line and sinker. Her writing on Truss is adulatory. Luckily we have a really high calibre candidate @StuartBradyLab Let’s go Reigate & Banstead #timeforchange
