I now have three things in common with George Orwell: we both had formative experiences in Wigan, romantic liaisons in Spain (granted his was the civil war), and we're the only writers in the world with covers by the brilliant @byheathkane.

Perhaps others will disagree with me, but I don't think you can only respond to these race riots with crackdowns on the far-right.
Poverty, underfunded councils, lack of opportunity and hopelessness *does* contribute to whether disaffected locals will be swept up by organised agitators.

Wishing you all a great start to the week:
Walk down Westgate

Try a new cafe, bar or pub
See what's growing at the park

Yes! It’s called Walking To School.
Swap the drive to school once a week for an energising walk to school.

Loving the emergent phenomenon that is @15minuteshipley … this article made me wonder: what might the soundtrack of the community you want to live in be? @bradford2025 #ambientmusic

Of course Russell Brand's followers deny the allegations. He has groomed an audience to deny/disbelieve everything they see and hear, which is very different from healthy skepticism. This knee-jerk denialism is precisely why people with plenty of skeletons in the closet love conspiracy culture: they have a built-in defense against accountability. It's all a conspiracy, always. I have met Brand, been on his show (years ago). It took a hell of a lot of courage for these women to come forward. They have all my solidarity.

Participate, get involved, find the people doing great things and join them. Banish the despair.
The next big thing will be small things.
Fab to see @assemblybd get a mention too!
