Uyghurs Subjected to Genocide by China
Systematic abuse, torture, separation indoctrination, imprisonment and surveillance
of hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs in Xingjiang Province is an appalling human
rights abuse, ignored by the wider world largely unreported in the wider press.Continue reading “Uyghurs Subjected to Genocide by China”
R.I.P Sir David Amess
Jo Cox in 2016. Sir David Amess 2021. Reaching out in service and to help their local communities through surgeries and public meetings- at a church- only to be attacked and killed is an assult on our way of life, our democracy, and as an attack on an elected member and representative of us citizens, an attack on us all.

Hate crimes against anyone should not be tolerated and must be pursued vigorously to turn back tide of discrimination against so many innocents be it LGBTQ+, race, age, sex, and COVID related hate crime.

I once campaigned with James in Birmingham Erdington for the upcoming General Election in 2017 where he was friendly, kind and utterly down to earth. He was a brillliant minister, a dedicated consituency MP, loved and respected by all. He embodied the very best in politics- humility, service and patience. Thank you for all you have done for so many.

“Nobody is here without a struggle. We all came here from somewhere”.
Proud to have been one of the Councillors seconding the motion for Birmingham City to become a City of Sanctuary for those fleeing persecution, seeking asylum and hope. I hope we will live up to that pledge when it really matters.
Carrot in a Box. R.I.P Sean
Incredibly sad to hear of the sad passing of Sean Lock today. A brilliant comedian who brought so much joy and laughter into peoples lives. It is so sad to think about the issues that he was dealing with which so many did not know about, whilst still going about his shows, work and making people laugh right up to the end.
It is a solemn reminder to us all to be kind as we don’t know what the person next to us is going through.
