Tonight's thread is in response to the number of people who have asked me variations on:

"... write to your MP. Write letters to the press. Write to the companies that have been linked to Uighur forced labour. Take to social media. Talk to your friends about what is happening... Let no person say that the responsibility lies with others."

Lockdown 1: Wow I really miss talking to people, must set up every opportunity to zoom

Lockdown 2: I don't need social contact, I can watch CNN nonstop from 6am til 2am, John King and his magic wall are my new friends

I’m convinced we should be psychologists before we are traffic engineers, planners or architects. Changing cities is about changing behaviours. It’s all about the people. Understand people & you understand how to build liveable cities. https://t.co/ciTM36JjuD

(1/7) As a human being who believes in the sanctity of human life, I am deeply troubled by what is happening to the Uighur Muslim population in China.

We Jews, of all people, must not be silent over the Uighurs https://t.co/FHQ32G19La via @jewishchron

Nike, Adidas, Apple and many other brands are using forced Uyghur labour in their factories to produce their products.

Do something about it: join me in signing this open letter to their CEOs:

Today would've been Rebecca's 29th birthday but 4 months ago she lost her battle with Bi-Polar Disorder, which sadly ended with suicide. Her sister Sara is fundraising in her memory to @PAPYRUS_tweets, the national Charity for Prevention of Young Suicide https://t.co/cvCjnnWWyu
