One of the reasons befriending schemes for refugees are so important is they mean that when things get difficult there is someone in the country who cares gofund.me/1dc16793

25 years ago, people across Ireland held their breath and voted for peace
None of it has been easy so keep the people in Ireland in your thoughts for lasting peace
Seamus Heaney steals the show for this one...
History says, don’t hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.

Women can't go to male doctors, but they can't train to be doctors either. There is a point in which the international community have to do something. The greatest women's right crisis of our time. No woman is free until we are all free.
Breaking News: Taliban issued a new ruling in Balkh province, Afghanistan, stating that women are not allowed to visit male doctors !!
And, no education to women as well, so no female doctors either !!

Wow!
@BBCNews found a woman whose daughter’s outpt appointment was cancelled today.
They clearly thought she would be anti the nurses strikes.
Instead she gave the most intelligent and empassioned argument for decent pay for nurses I have heard yet.
Bravo!

New study by @baltrusz @JKSteinberger @dr_anneowen @librand3 @JouniPaavola and me (yey!) linking energy use and well-being, living well within limits and excess energy. Thanks @CarbonBrief and @Josh_Gabbatiss for covering it!
UK energy use is incredibly unequal.
The top 10% of earners use more energy *on flights* than the bottom 20% use in a year.
Their holidays and business trips burn through all the energy the poorest fifth use for power, heating, fuelling cars etc.

@BristolCouncil @beardedjourno @MarvinJRees @BBCBristol @David_on_a_bike How on EARTH are folk meant to get round the M32 safely on foot or bike? This is every time it rains. It’s completely unacceptable, and yet, here we are. Accepting it. Our reward for active travel.

this flooding seems to get worse each time. It's almost impassable by bike as people lay down items to try to walk across it. It's no good for anyone! Please @BristolCouncil can you start works on it. There must be something you can do!

Yesterday there was a terrorist attack on British soil, a literal suicide bombing. You would hardly know because the intended victims are not treated as part of our communities. And then they were rehoused at Manston - a site already notorious for violating human rights.

In the UK nearly 60% of car journeys are under 5 miles. For millions of these journeys there's a better tool for the job.
For our health, for the climate, for less costly travel, for short journeys, #BikeIsBest
