Yeah. Because book burning is really something we should be fighting for. Always leads to good things eh ?
You may find the burning of a Quran offensive, but that doesn't mean it's a crime. I'm at Southwark Crown Court to support Hamit Coskun.

Conservative MP Robert Jenrick has complained that, visiting Handsworth in Birmingham, he didn’t see ‘another white face’. You can’t judge whether someone is integrated by skin colour, argues @Sathnam Sanghera ⬇️ https://t.co/nECUdTSm5H

This morning I woke to the awful news that the Mosque in Peacehaven suffered a targeted hate crime arson attack. It is deeply concerning and the impact has been felt in communities across the country. We have been in touch with the Mosque and other communities in East Sussex. As
British Muslim Trust statement regarding the attack on Peacehaven Mosque. Report anti-Muslim hate crime and incidents to British Muslim Trust and in an emergency report to 999. #Mosques #Security #Islamophobia

Huge congratulations to Sarah. Wonderful news. A wise choice given that she’s a Villa fan.

Standing in sorrow, prayer and solidarity with the Jewish community in this country and particularly in Leeds after the horrific antisemitic attack in Manchester. Heartbroken by this hate.

I got to meet and interview Brian Patten whilst at University. I knew some of his poems by heart. He was kind, curious, warm and thoughtful. Very sad to learn of his death.

So much joy over recent days. Confirmation of 12 people at Otley Parish Church, licensing 3 new lay ministers in Headingley and the delight of installing Henriette Howarth-de Greef as a Minor Canon at Bradford Cathedral. Such a privilege to accompany all of these in Joy.
