And you know what English is? The results of the efforts of Norman men-at-arms to make dates with Saxon barmaids… and no more legitimate than any of the other results. H. BEAM PIPER

Today’s @guardian letters page is refreshingly full of thoughtful opposition to legalising assisted suicide.

Even the letters supporting a law change reveal the worrying demand to extend it to those disabled but not terminally ill & those with dementia.

“…this is a war in Africa. In the silence of the west, there is a whisper of what, in a different context, George W Bush once called “the soft bigotry of low expectations”.

Sudan is the world’s gravest humanitarian disaster – but almost nobody cares https://t.co/0Y6sOyTUSB

On this day in 1964, Martin Luther King Jr became the youngest man ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize at that time.

He later donated the prize money of $54,123, to furthering the civil rights movement.

Dear Christian,

You don’t have to tell people what your religious beliefs are.

They see exactly what your religious beliefs are in the way you talk about women, immigrants, people of color, the poor, those with disabilities, victims of war, and your political opponents.

On this day in 1914, Garrett T Morgan patented his invention, the Gas Mask. His invention saved countless lives.

He also invented the automated electric traffic light signals 🚦, an improved sewing machine and a hair-straightening product.

—Garrett Morgan was an inventor and businessman from Cleveland who invented a device called the Morgan safety hood and smoke protector in 1914. On July 25, 1916, Garrett Morgan made national news for using his gas mask to rescue 32 men trapped during an explosion in an underground tunnel 250 feet beneath Lake Erie. Morgan and a team of volunteers donned the new “gas masks” and went to the rescue. After the rescue, Morgan’s company received requests from fire departments around the country who wished to purchase the new masks. The Morgan gas mask was later refined for use by U.S. Army during World War I. In 1914, Garrett Morgan was awarded a patent for a Safety Hood and Smoke Protector. After witnessing a collision between an automobile and a horse-drawn carriage, Garrett Morgan took his turn at inventing a traffic signal. Other inventors had experimented with, marketed, and even patented traffic signals, however, Garrett Morgan was one of the first to apply for and acquire a U.S. patent for an inexpensive to produce traffic signal.

Congratulations to Nihon Hidankyo, a group of survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for winning the Nobel Peace Prize. At a time when the threat of nuclear weapons is growing – and the taboo against threatening their use is weakening – Nihon Hidankyo’s work reminds us that these weapons have a terrible human cost, and that the pursuit of a world without nuclear weapons is an essential part of making sure we leave our children a safer, more secure world. Nihon Hidankyo built a powerful movement out of personal tragedy and insists upon our common humanity.

88 months since 72 loved ones were killed at Grenfell, 18 of them children.

88 months, no justice.

88 months watching those responsible carry on with life, business as usual.

We know the evidence. It's there in black and white. Nowhere left to hide. We #demandcharges

The public are hypnotised by the politicians to believe benefit fraud is a huge problem (politicians & their media chums frequently talk as if it is)

This is a lie.

Benefit fraud is minuscule; statistical terms..insignificant.

Tax fraud & tax avoidance are the real problems.

Stop the cuts! This city loves its libraries. This city needs its libraries.

[Bobby Seagull MBE @Bobby_Seagull]

Do you use your library? My discussion on BBC about how libraries provide value for money and also environmental benefits due to books being used again and again.

As former @CILIPinfo libraries champion & current @readingagency charity ambassador, I will always use my voice to speak up for libraries.

If you haven’t watched it I recommend you do. Heartbreaking but also an argument against assisted dying that doesn’t get heard.

#BetterOffDead? the documentary I made to explain my opposition to assisted suicide has been shortlisted for a @griersontrust documentary award.

Congrats to all who have a passion, a need to give voice to something & make a documentary.
