@currys I am so disappointed with your customer service. I have phoned and emailed, was promised a response within 72 hours, now a week. What else can I do?
I don’t speak of this often but listening to Nigel Farage in tonight’s debate I must.
My dad was an immigrant. From the moment he arrived in this country he worked hard every day in labouring jobs. My most vivid recollection is of his tired & weary eyes and oil stained overalls when he came home after a 12 hour factory shift. Even then he was able to raise a smile for us. He was kind & gentle & loved my mum with passion. He raised a family of 4 & instilled in each of us a fierce sense of right & wrong & love of country. His proudest day was when he became a British citizen. I recall him with love & affection & pride & carry the lessons he taught me in my heart every day. If it were not for my dad I would not be a lawyer today & in his memory I work hard everyday to make a difference for as many as I can. Immigration is a beautiful thing & don’t let charlatans like Farage tell you otherwise ❤️
@JolyonMaugham@omrgriffiths@BBCr4today This is the second time recently he's been on @BBCr4today, apparently representing the hospitality industry when his views couldn't be further from most in that industry. @BBCr4today pls don't have him again on that pretext.
“Shame on us that we raised a generation that chooses to be humanitarian only in certain circumstances.” Immensely powerful monologue by @lucyaharish, the first Muslim Arabic TV presenter in Israel
Join the #Together4Humanity vigil as we build a movement to stand against rising antisemitism and anti-Muslim hate amidst the ongoing conflict in Israel-Palestine.

🧵Some thoughts after attending today's 47-minute screening of Hamas's atrocities on Oct 7 at the @UN, following a searing speech from @MosabHasanYOSEF - son of one of the co-founders of Hamas.
THIS IS HOPE! Another Jewish-Palestinian rally is happening now in the town of Tira in Israel. Hundreds of Jewish & Palestinian citizens of Israel gatherd for the 6th rally in a row, each in a different city, to fight for Jewish-Arab partnership & for Israeli-Palestinian peace.
Happening now in Tel Aviv Jaffa: Hundreds of Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel are protesting against this endless war, against the occupation, against the killing of the innocent and for Israeli-Palestinian peace. Only peace will bring us sefaty and security.
It was an honour for me to play the piano at George Alagiah’s memorial service. Such an emotional, uplifting celebration of his life. Here’s the montage of George at work and at home for which I provided a musical accompaniment.
I'm just glad my parents for whom being British and being Jewish was an inseparable soyrce of pride arent alive to see the vile Jew hatred on parade today
