Dr Who 🎓 So @worcester_uni surprised me & I’m now Dr of Letters, my contribution to Indian history. A big thank you to all at the university, Lisa, Diane & Prof Webb. I came to learn about my own history & being recognised like this was something I never dreamt of.

that’s my dad at the beginning. he and so many more taxi drivers have a story to tell about 9/11. they saved lives and feared racist attacks along the way. what a shame to have grown up in a racist world with them. but what an honor to be raised by them.

@sesamestreetSep 11
After 9/11, Sesame Street aired four episodes to help children (and grown-ups) process fear and grief. In this episode, which aired in 2002, Elmo learns to face his fear with help from the FDNY firefighters — a reminder that even when we're scared, someone is there to keep us safe. #NeverForget

Lady in Red is from the album Into the Light (1986). Chris de Burgh wrote the lyrics inspired by his wife, Diane, after seeing her wearing a red dress at a party. Released as a single in 1986, it was a huge worldwide hit: #1 in the UK for three weeks, #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and top 10 in dozens of countries.

Our deputy-director @Singhtwo2 on the killing of Henry Nowak ‘Most Sikhs I’ve spoken to in recent days unequivocally condemn Digwa and his family. They are all expressing solidarity with the Nowak family.’ spectator.com/article/vickru…

Vickrum Digwa is no Sikh

Decades of good will for British Sikhs has been damaged because of the action of one dangerous and dishonest Sikh heritage monster

An interesting article adding additional context to the Sikh kirpan debate from my friend Jagbir Jhutti-Johal

@FraserNelsonMay 31
The murder of Henry Nowak has triggered calls to ban the Sikh kirpan. But what actually happened? Was a religious exemption really exploited? I spoke to Jagbir Jhutti-Johal about the case and why many Sikhs feel their religious freedom is now on trial. comment.press/kirpan
