The storming of The Capitol this week highlights the everpresent dangers of white nationalism to democracy not just in USA but anywhere. We continue to welcome everyone & stand for #BlackLivesMatter

In 2015 2 men stowed away in the landing gear of a @BritishAirways flight from #Johannesburg to Heathrow. One survived, the other didn’t.
In The Man Who Fell From The Sky, the stranger-than fiction story explores the who, how & why of
such a dangerous & desperate mission.

What gives us hope? The fact that most people are naturally welcoming and kind. That the majority recognise each other as people with something positive to contribute regardless of country of origin, skin colour or religion.That solidarity and togetherness feels good.
