20 years in war zones. Now reconnecting Greater Manchester with nature, one massive project at a time. Polyglot polymath. Joining dots with story-telling 👇🏻

Observing #Brexit and #BLM reminds me of the importance of learning languages & how bad we are at it in the UK. Are you multilingual? @hellobensalt @TravelGuideANZ @PaulSalopek @susie_dent @GylesB1 @Mikeachim @Al_Humphreys @MichaelRosenYes @commapress https://t.co/WhwKc8TTDo

Please retweet if you will never forgive the lying politicians who robbed us of our EU Freedom of Movement.

@MirandaKeeling I missed your observations so I noted down one of my own. Hope you’re better soon.

“Our resolve to live is stronger than ever.”

Young Palestinians in southern Gaza are finding resilience through parkour by turning neighbourhoods, destroyed by Israeli bombing, into arenas for their favourite sport ⤵️

@tayab_ali_ What verdicts can the Court reach, and what sanctions, if any, can they impose?

The brilliant Avi Shlaim on the prospect of the ethnic cleansing of Gaza

All that remains

Israel has brought death and destruction to Gazans many times. But in retaliation for Hamas’s terrorist acts, it has raised the possibility of something much worse than before: ethnic cleansing

🇵🇸🇺🇸 A Palestinian’s message to America.

“They give us a piece of bread and a sandwich, and they give the Israelis tanks, rockets and warfighters.”

“He saw his father dying, he saw his uncle martyred, he saw his house stolen, he’s living in a tent — how can we remove hatred from the hearts of these children?”

Medical staff in #Gaza are so inundated by the sheer mass of patients arriving that the surgical board used to keep track of the weeks upcoming surgeries has been wiped clean and replaced with these words:

For many years I have been posting little observations on here. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings, because they should be seen:

I just signed the petition calling on Boris Johnson's resignation honours to be blocked. Will you sign too? https://t.co/HnSv82rF7d via @38degrees

@StagecoachGM What kind of confusion? Last year it ran 10 minutes earlier. Please revert to that. It was still on Monton rd at 0820 this morning. Our kids start every day being told off and recorded as late through no fault of their own.

[Anna da Silva @hogglespiking]

Good morning @StagecoachGM, the 799 school bus is 20 minutes late again, second time this week. Our kids are late for school every day. Is anyone working to resolve this?

[Anna da Silva @hogglespiking]

@StagecoachGM Thanks for the swift response but it doesn’t begin to resolve the issue or answer my question. Could you move the timetable back 10 mins like last year to address this problem? The kids are late every day. I know the school have raised this with you repeatedly.

[Anna da Silva @hogglespiking]

@StagecoachGM my daughter catches the 799 school bus. Last year it ran 10 minutes earlier. This term, it has been scheduled later, and then arrives late almost every day. Today it was 20 minutes late. This is really stressing the children. How do you plan to sort this??

[Anna da Silva @hogglespiking]

@BruceReuters Come and visit us at Northern Roots in Oldham. Optimistic, timely, risky, bold and hopefully ground breaking.

Serious question - when do the protests begin? How do we organise them? Where are we meeting? People need to start clearing the diaries and we to be on the streets of London - pretty fucking soon. 1/7
