Personal account (as distinct from @john_pettigrew), so less publishing and more politics. Probably.

I've been maintaining two Twitter accounts for years now (one for work and one more personal) and it's just getting silly. So I'm going to close this account and continue tweeting only as @john_pettigrew. So, if you want to keep track of me on Twitter, follow that account soon!

"Comply and you won't be harmed" is literally the colonialist settler mindset. I didn't really put that together until recently. But once I did, it became clear why it's such a pervasive sentiment in America.

I really would rather we didn't put £5bn worth of arms into the hands of people who would consider cutting a woman's head off in public for participating in peaceful protest.

A project that’s helped 30,000 refugees… forced to close? Pikpa is a community-run refugee camp on Lesvos. It’s not organised by the army or the government, but by local people. But now it's under threat of closure. Add your voice and help #savepikpa! https://t.co/NvdpACOUmB

lolsob at the epidemic of men who believe that having to think before they speak is a horrifying inconvenience.

I would have been so fascinated to have known, as a child visiting the famous Tudor ship the Mary Rose, that there were West African divers swimming in the Solent trying to salvage it… https://t.co/0odnPOAIY5

"‘No deal is better than a bad deal’, is nonsensical. No deal is such a very bad deal that it is now useless even as a negotiating position. A more accurate slogan would be that ‘No Brexit is better than a bad Brexit’." https://t.co/A24wGLFGuj

This is the best piece I’ve read about Brexit. https://t.co/hfQYeuCcOv

Volunteers are facing abuse from police, but "acts of kindness to refugees in this terrible situation are not morally optional. One cannot deny food to a hungry child. Our states demand we do these things, but they cannot be done, or be allowed to occur." https://t.co/VPJiVoIeNE
