Here’s the elegant, 1000th, @EnglishHeritage Blue Plaque - commemorating the Women’s Freedom League - I unveiled today at 1 Robert St, off the Strand. I had help from girls from @IbstockSenior who spoke impressively and had clearly researched the WFL in detail.

We are watching, in real time, the radicalisation of young boys en-mass via misogynists online. Misogyny isn’t new but the speed and scale at which this is now happening? Unprecedented. And we need all teachers, parents - no, ADULTS to be committing to fighting this now.
