My old neighbour is a Christian, I invited him & his church friends to the mosque. We shared a cuppa & a bite to eat. They all said a prayer for us before they left after a good chin-wag. Learn some history & you’ll find we’ve been doing this sort of thing for centuries
A Ramadan ‘iftar’ in Bristol cathedral!
This boils my blood!
Imagine Christian prayers in a mosque! Would never happen!

Either the school wasn’t inadequate last autumn or it isn’t good now. A life was lost because the framework & inspection methodology is fundamentally flawed. This doesn’t make it all ok!!

1/2 Racism, homophobia, anti-semitism are diseases in society they say. They hurt, minimise, marginalise. And Islamaphobia we say. Errr no, that’s freedom of speech that is. But it cuts the same, the pain is the same we say. You need to get with programme they say...

Home schooling (all before 8.30am today). Asked 4yr old what she wanted to learn today? ‘about bees.’ 3 short YouTube vids, we drew & coloured a bee (1 vid was how to do this), looked at word ‘bee’ she didn’t fancy writing & looked for bees in garden! Done for the day!

How ill do you have to be to be bad enough not to look after your child but well enough to drive 250 miles? Asking for a friend🙄

If you boo the taking of the knee before kick off or the Italian anthem, your values don’t align with those of Southgate’s England team. If it ‘comes home’ you have no right to celebrate. Come on England! 🏴
Never thought I’d wear this shirt but from standing for racial equality to feeding school kids, this squad have made clear that they represent ME.
For anyone who ever used these lions to scare us, take a good look.
THIS is England.
And if you don’t like it, YOU go home.

Couldn’t agree more. Enjoy talking to your kids & doing all the things you haven’t had time for. Share the old family stories, make, bake, cook, go through the old photos, watch old films, paint, sing, dance, connect & reconnect!
Parent’s shouldn’t worry about their children falling behind - that’s our job to sort out when we get back. And we will.
