We know Laurence Fox is bigoted filth so I'm going to counter his lies & hateful islamophobic racist tweet with truth & facts:
✔️Muslims are NOT the Enemy
✔️Muslims ARE British
✔️Muslims are White, Black & Brown.
✔️ Muslims have the right to Vote and be Voted For
✔️Black & Brown…

London without Laurence Fox in it? Just when you think this day couldn’t get any better … #ThankYouSadiq !

Whenever we begin to wake up to how we're being screwed, conspiracy fictions distract and confuse us and send us back to sleep. So why DO so many people obsess about false stories, but ignore the real ones? In the hope of finding out, I wrote this theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

We did it! Thanks so much to everyone who helped and voted. 🌹🎉🗳️

The optics tell you EVERYTHING.

The victim unnamed, sidelined and dismissed, the killer shown in hero poses and made intriguing. Why? because white supremacy SEES the world in this way.

If you aren’t disgusted by this I have nothing for you. RIEP Daniel Anjorin.

Stop buying the first one. Stop picking the second one up on the train. Stop doing their crosswords. Stop reading their online articles.
The Scum has been printing lies and abhorrent screeds for decades.
Stop.

Another acceptance this morning, the third in less than a week. This one is from a dream publication for a poem that was languishing in a folder for months! A great gift for a weary poet. ✍️🏾

On the Granny's Attic page we’ve been sharing pics from the archive as we gear up towards our 15th anniversary tour. Here’s a favourite pic of mine, taken in December 2011 – a young concertinist stares lovingly at his bandmates.

Would a white PM be able to talk like Rishi Sunak or oversee his government's policies? His parents came from E. Africa. Did they seek refuge or to deliver a son who'd send people like them back to Africa against their will? His 'power' = our nightmare.

If you're blessed with the forward-planning gene and you like your music hard to categorize, easy to remember, sad, funny and full of life looked at sideways, this could be a good time to put our Autumn dates in your diary. Book tkts via venues or my site + Earlybird 🎟️ too🙏❤️
