Putting her own safety at risk to protect the girls from yet another grown man acting inappropriately and aggressively. She herself said it could end like it did in Croydon and she still put herself between them. Hero. Where was everyone else?
"It was like going into a members' club... an all-male club" Nancy Astor, the first woman MP to take her seat, recalled the experience on Panorama in 1959.

I’m so incredibly chuffed that I am one of twelve writers to be chosen for the Channel 4 screenwriting course. I can’t wait to work with
@PhilipShelley1
and the team at
@Channel4
over the next few months and keeping everything crossed we can do it safely in person !
The longterm losers of this A-level debacle will be the thousands of students who would probs have got Cs and Ds having made huge efforts to do so and for whom the algorithm has given them Us and fails. Some of these students won't have the family backup to challenge it.
Hello! Research request … Is there anyone who identifies as Asexual who would be willing to talk with me about their experience of adolescence and navigating relationships? Totally confidential and you get to share as much / little as you like? Bonus if you grew up in the 90s..
So listen. I just took part in

Good to know actors are being appreciated and respected by those in the casting world. they’ve literally had the worst f**ing year of their lives. I wonder why people with this mentality do a job that requires them to be around actors so much when they clearly have no compassion
We had over 4000 scripts to consider so we appreciate your patience in waiting for an outcome.
Many thanks again for sending us your work. It's a huge achievement just to complete a script and submit it.
Open Call will return again later this year, dates tbc 2/2
The Jungle should be compulsory viewing. One of the most devastating, moving and vital pieces of theatre I've seen. Well done to everyone involved.. My British passport-holding ass feels pretty damn privileged right now...

My laughter turns to crying as I wipe my tears with kebab meat and call all 3265 cousins to tell them the story in detail whilst drinking ouzo and cradling my olive tree who is also my husband as my great grandmother blames the Turks for me not giving her any grandchildren
@NicolaSturgeon
A huge loss to us even on the other side of the border. We thank you for your years of service and being a beacon of hope and strength in these bizarre times.
I’m a bit lost for words. Thank you to everyone who came to the Goddesses book launch. We weren’t sure if anyone would turn up because of the strikes, but you did. Lots of you. And you made it a moment I’ll never forget. So much love, warmth and support in that room. Thank you 💜

IT’S WORKING! It sounds like Ahmed has been beaten but he is free. Now let’s push to free Mustafa and Jamal and the 100 others arrested with them… Thank you everyone in our community for pushing so hard ❤️
@GrenfellUnited
Absolutely incomprehensible. The lack of humanity is chilling. Bless the memory of every precious one of those 72 individuals. You all deserved so much better 💚

Actually it’s very common, textbook even, that those who know they are behaving outside the parameters of accepted behaviour will justify it by creating a persona that is anti-establishment. Initially to justify their actions to themselves, then to the rest of the world.
@MarkRavenhill2
Could you also make sure we look at the genius of some non-white women too please??? I’ve heard so much about the genius of Chekhov / Shakespeare / Insert-Dead-White-Man-Here

God bless our warrior Wael. Has anyone been through more that him and shown such steadfast integrity and character? Man of the year ❤️
So incredibly proud to have been a small part of this and so impressed with how sensitively, seriously and thoroughly my union has responded. A great example of good practice.
Equity is demanding a safe working environment where members will not have to endure or observe sexual harassment and where perpetrators understand there is nowhere to hide. Read our report:

we are a new collective doing awesome work around Consent, Sex and Relationships. We just made the Guardian and have been interviewed by The awesome Jameela Jamil for Radio 4 and we'd love you to know about us!

This is disgusting. Do you understand that this is many people’s actual reality and normalising it by making it into a joke is sickening. Understand what you have portrayed is now an actual crime. Perhaps you should be reported.
@ms_bach_says
If Steinbeck hadn't perfected the vernacular of the migrant workers Of Mice & Men would have been a very different story. Shakespeare's ability to switch to working class dialect was what made him such a commercial success. Zadie Smith, Alice Walker, Toni Morrison I could go on..
Oh hi! Hello. My name’s Nina and I just spent a week holed up in a cottage working on the second draft of my first book. Pressed send on that baby just now and gonna celebrate with fish and chips cos I’m a baller.

Oh sweetheart. Understand that you missed the point completely and you’re exposing yourself in quite an embarrassing way… I think you think you’re being rational and academically intelligent… you’re not - however many times you use “conjecture”
When I was a teenager I was in one of the top girl’s football teams in London. My role models were all men. Beautiful to know that won’t be the case for the next generation.

This day a year ago was the last performance of Delete. It’s been quite a year. One thing has led to another & I now have a wonderful literary agent, we’ll be recording Delete for radio & I’m currently writing my 2nd play, a series & 2 books! I can’t wait to share it all with you

How much more can they put this man through??? They have targeted him over and over again. For what? Why? It is so dark. So evil. And yet his spirit is unstoppable. Bless and protect Wael ❤️

No it’s not complex actually. No genocide is complex. What is common though is genocide sympathisers trying to make out the complex so they can keep genociding… classic. 🇵🇸
