This young chap decided to litter in Barnsley. He was dealt with but due to his age we gave him the opportunity to carry out some restorative justice so not to criminalise young people. He did a great job during his 3hrs of litter picking👍🏻

Just seen an article about how our children should give up their summer holidays to make up for 'lost learning'. How about the government give up their summer recess to make up for 'lost politics' first and we see how that goes?
I have signed @NEUnion’s petition asking @BorisJohnson to extend Free School Meals to every child whose family is on Universal Credit, so no child comes to school too hungry to learn.

We're backing Marcus Rashford’s campaign to provide free school meals during school holidays. Payments of £15 per child - the same amount as free school meal funding - will be made to eligible families this half term. Find out more at bit.ly/3onwMeG

@WoolleyForever The 1908 Barnsley Public Hall Disaster by Dave Cherry.
In 1908 16 children were killed, and 40 more were injured, in a tragic accident at the Barnsley Public Hall. The Barnsley documentarian follows the short lives of 5 of the children.

A young girl of school age was just cornered by riot police & proceeded to run away, before being viciously wrestled to the ground, kicked & pinned down by several police officers.
I wish I could say this isn’t normal in Hong Kong today, but it is.

WHY WHY WHY is no one talking about the fact that hospital nurses/doctors as well all other healthcare and STILL desperate for the correct PPE...why is the media silent about this now...we are 5 months in....5 months...take that in!

31 years ago, Tony Benn warned us that there would come a time when doctors in our NHS would ‘take out their calculator not their stethoscope’.
That time is here. Today, 22 treatments on our NHS are rationed not according to need but budget decisions.
