“If you’re defending the suffering in Gaza…then I’m sorry, but you’re a sociopath.”
From my closing statement at the Gaza debate in New York tonight hosted by @OpentoDebateOrg
We're here to bring help and hope to everyone affected by dementia.
A big part of that is making sure dementia services are inclusive, and everyone has equal access to the support they need.
And you can help make it happen! 1/3
There needs to be an urgent and significant step change in the Government's approach to this horrendous conflict.
The UK can no longer allow itself to remain complicit in the deaths of civilians. It must immediately end sales of arms to Israel.
Those who feel so passionately, that people who look like me should leave these isles, show me how much you would like for us to be gone. I have set up a a Go Fund Me page to raise the proceeds, time to PUT UP OR SHUT UP!
Ball's in your court.
