I don’t care if you sneak out into the dead of night and shakily scratch ‘Free Palestine’ into an old rusted lamppost,
I don’t care if you have careful conversations with apolitical friends and family members about the horrors happening with full support of western governments,
I don’t care if you wear your Keffiyeh to work, to the gym, to the store, to the coffee shop, to the park, to the library, or all of the above, every single day,
I don’t care if you write poetry or paint or make music or draw doodles or write stories about the terrors of empire and how a world looks within which everyone is liberated and living dignified lives,
I don’t care if you march to the embassy at noon every Saturday and chant to those meek and morbid little souls inside to remind them of the tyranny they support,
I don’t care if you scream from the rooftops at 6am every single morning how none of us are free until everyone — including every last Palestinian the world over — is free,
I don’t care if you climb the fences of the arms manufacturers and smash the windows and rip off the roof tiles and dowse their doorways in fake blood to remind them of their sins,
I don’t care what it is you choose to do to resist…. I care that you resist.
I care that you indulge that defiant and divine spark within you that urges you in the dark crevices of your mind to stand up for what is right, to stand up for those under the bootheels of oppression, to stand up for those who haven’t even been given a fucking chance to live the life they’ve got because tyrants in our western governments want to eat the fucking earth,
Because everyone has an inalienable right to liberation, dignity and self-determination,
Because we are all part of the same extended human family,
Because there but by the grace of God go we,
And because what else could possibly be more important than creating a world in which children aren’t bombed by the thousand for merely being born in the wrong place?
This world is ours to share — all of us. And so we resist to make it fair — for everyone. And we never stop until that goal is reached.
Our members' message to Cambridge University: "When your workers say that their pay is too low to afford to live in your city, when they organise and recruit, when they picket and close your prestigious institutions, you talk to them and you negotiate."
Now there is an incredible woman right there. Jo Bateman is taking @SouthWestWater to court, she's simply "Had enough". 👏👏👏
If I can help in anyway just shout.
.@Cambridge_Uni has been enforcing below inflation pay rises for too long & our members have had enough. It may be a prestigious university, but that doesn’t put food on the table or pay the bills of essential workers doing vital roles. #JobsPayConditions https://t.co/lEojvAgTjl
@krishgm@bbcstrictly We loved watching you and I'm so sorry u ou have to return to such a tough job at the moment. I hope you continue to dance to bring yourself that obvious joy!
The Health Secretary Matt Hancock has been handed a 15% stake in a firm called Topwood Limited.
In March this year, Topwood Limited were awarded two NHS contracts worth a total of £300k.
Topwood Limited also just happen to be owned by Mr Hancock's sister.
Truly astonishing.
It's my last day at British Gas today. I'm getting dismissed for not signing their new contract.
So big thank you's to:
The Inverness & Elgin team for being sound and sharing vital experience throughout my 10 years.
The BG Twitter community for giving it a hell of a fight
