“Many are asking what it’ll take for people in power to wake up. But let’s be clear - they’re already awake. They know exactly what they’re doing. They know exactly what priceless values they’re sacrificing to maintain business as usual.”
My speech from today’s march in Glasgow.

When it emerged that Jimmy Savile was a prolific rapist and sex offender I was working for a charity which had a cafe named for him. The charity very quickly moved to rename the cafe. There wasn't a single complaint.

So I was trying to find a website to turn an Mp3 of me telling a story into text so I could use it as a script to make a podcast and the website produced an experimental piece of poetry, inspired (but certainly not constrained) by the story 🎷💢💎🌚🌈❔

This mother's day my mum is throwing a bone to those who suddenly find themselves to be home-schoolers. The charity she set up has put together some new learning at home packs, written by brilliant teachers and authors: hamilton-trust.org.uk/blog/l… @HamiltonTrust @ReadforGoodUK
Spare a thought in these troubled times for those who are bad at texting back. Touching base more than quadrupled since lock-down, un-responded to messages piling up, WhatsApp groups pinging all day, too many people to speak to 😨
