@jessphillips What’s Emily done wrong?

[Ian Howarth @ibchowarth]

@MarkHazard2020 Then you don't understand the Muslim concept of the Ummah, the solidarity of the Muslim community worldwide, regardless of nationality. It is a wonderful statement of solidarity, but a concern if it is exercised uncritically.

[Ian Howarth @ibchowarth]

@NardoDi33254 @jessphillips I’m sorry. Do you live in Yardley? My experience, moving into the constituency 18 months ago, is that it is one of the most successful examples of a successful, diverse community you could find. Our Road has a great residents group with people from various backgrounds.

@jessphillips I’ll never forget the way Heston-Harris shafted me by trying to oust me as Chair of a School Governing body 30 years ago. A duplicitous, doctrinaire twat then, and no sign he has changed.

[Ian Howarth @ibchowarth]

@Ayb3O @DrTedros @WHO @UN @PalestineRCS I do. I pray for the hostages too, and for Israel that it may come to its senses and show mercy.

[Ian Howarth @ibchowarth]

@qubbajBG @lisanandy Yes I do condemn all that. But do you also condemn the slaughter of 1400 Israelis and the taking of 200 hostages by Hamas.? We need to condemn all violence against innocent people equally, if we are ever to wrk for a just peace and Palestinian rights

@BishopWorcester John, thank you for all your writing in this. I am so sorry for the hurtful tone of some of the responses, and assure you and your colleagues the love and prayers of the Methodist people in your deliberations.

@pmphillips @wabbey Once the emotion is over there needs to be a real debate about the subtle,
(and not so subtle) demonstration of male dominance, whiteness and military power that the ceremonies this week have demonstrated, to ensure that it never happens like this again.

@paulargooder When will there be a place for adult women in cathedral choirs. (Get rid of the hooty counter-tenors)

@timwhee20009234 @paulargooder On blind listening it is impossible to tell the difference. My daughter did a controlled experiment at her music college.

@OffWestEndCom @OperaGothic @HoxtonHall @MaeHeydorn Wow that’s great.

[Joanna Harries @Joanna_Harries]

Congrats to all the La Nonne Sanglante team @OperaGothic! Some gory Gounod in the atmospheric @HoxtonHall - what more could you ask? ☠️🗡️👰

@LindaFSemple @BBCRadio3 We had a glorious, moving silence after the performance in Birmingham on Wed. Also heard clearly the reprise of the opening at the end which was apparently inaudible in the RAH.

@stejames_design @Roosilli1 @devisridhar I don’t like wearing a mask but I wear it to protect others and expect others to wear one in close confined spaces out of respect for me. It seems you don’t have a care and respect for others.

@jackiewatson05 My three favourite singers of the week were Claire, Giboon amd Masabane and they all won prizes. So really happy! #cardiffsinger

[Ian Howarth @ibchowarth]

@Dutch2312 Thought her Elgar was really really top class.

[Ian Howarth @ibchowarth]

@KeysIsla @cardiffsinger @PetrocTrelawny They were all fabulous and really difficult to choose but the two that moved me to tears were Claire amd Masabane but that might be the music they chose!! #Cardiffsinger

[Ian Howarth @ibchowarth]

@shanebrown74 Yes. There is more but it is@watched by less people because on niche channels. So making classical music peripheral to main stream culture I a way it did t used to be.

[Ian Howarth @ibchowarth]

@GarethL46058807 It just gets better and better #Cardiffsinger
