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 ❤️

So glad Fr Stephen @stmichaelbarnes presented my Lancelot Andrewes Medal to Mother Judith - truly young in heart - for "Godly Service and Zeal for the Gospel" on this day of thanksgiving: Let us bless the Lord

Therefore, Mr so-and-so, if you’re still around, and if you still remember your sarcastic comments (which I doubt), this performance is for you. Some of us were happily undeterred by your discouragement.

Don’t let the bastards get you down.

David Attenborough is 98 today. What a man!
People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure.
Are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?
