Thousands of miles from your home where a war is waging, speaking in your second language, outnumbered, shouted down & without the gravitas wearing a suit apparently bestows you & you still look like the only dignified leader in the room. That’s the kind of power bullies will never have.

I tell you what, I can't say how much it means to run regular public events for 8 years and for people to still show up and love them (and still enjoy it yourself!)

I would never pretend to know anything worth saying about Syria - but fuck Assad. I just hope this can be a new start for the people and the can begin to heal from the hell of the past 13 years.
