Would love to go and hear this, but it's a bit far to travel. Hope it goes well.

We think of Carnegie Libraries as US and UK/Irl gifts, but his reach stretched to South Africa and Fiji! Thx to a visiting friend…

Libraries have always been at the hub of the community but the ‘Community Hubs’ concept is a cuts based model that often sees other cut services shoe-horned in with libraries. It’s a smokescreen for cuts.

The tweet was posted by the then Mayor Nov 15, 2012. Mamdani was a 20 year old law student at the time, way before starting a political career. Always check the date.

Fact check: the 250,000 people marching in London Saturday are not "terror supporters" or "Jew haters", as the tiny counter-demo claimed, but were calling for an end to the 75 years of oppression of the Palestinian people, a message of love, life and peace.

There was a stunning exhibition of Grimshaw's work @GuildhallArt some years ago. Superb use of light and darkness.
