Wow wow wow. Incredible.

Standing with @GuyPearce in calling for conscience over silence. The suffering of men, women and children in Palestine is a humanitarian crisis we must address. Let’s voice our disdain and act to stop this atrocity. #StandForHumanity #Palestine #ConscienceOverPolitics

#VEDay my mum and dad celebrated in Barnet, on leave. Dad did 6 years as a Signalman Attfield (Burma, N.Africa, Italy) and Mum lied about her age to join the ATS in 1941. Remembering them and remembering that Fascism is still here, coloured orange or looking frog faced.

Bend it like Declan! What a night! #Arsenal

So how do we get the economically inactive back to work? Public sector is being cut. The private sector is driven by profit not job creation. So can subsidised jobs help? Flexible hours, min wage, no net loss of benefits. Focus on community, arts and leisure and environment. Add to voluntary effort!
