A song reflecting on the loss and legacy of the inspiring #AlexeiNavalny. It's called "Sit For The Road" ("Сядем На Дорожку") - the Russian tradition of stopping for a moment before journeys. Dedicated to @yulia_navalnaya and his friends, family, and supporters. Thanks @BBCSteveR @NavalnyDoc & @novayagazeta_en for informing us about his life & work. "You're not allowed to give up" - Navalny.

Please Repost if you would like Paula Vennells, ex-CEO of the Post Office, to have the CBE that Boris Johnson awarded her to be returned. Please Like if you would like those responsible in Fujitsu to be held accountable too. #MrBatesVsThePostOffice #PostOffceScandal

Following that train of thought, there is CICCU (Cambridge Inter-Collegiate Christian Union - pronounced Kick you), and OICCU (Oxford etc ). There should be a Fellowship of University and College Christian Unions.
