I don't have kids but I *want* to be part of a society that supports ppl that do. I'm happy to pay taxes that go towards schs + supports parents + families if they need it. That's what community is about. I have no idea what makes some people so keen to destroy all that makes our communities strong.

Hello everyone.

I've been in a pit of inactivity. Doing the bare minimum outside of work. I need to get myself active again but it may be an incremental haul back.

Anyone else just totally worn out with [gestures at world generally] everything?

Why asylum seekers prefer Kent barracks to staying in hotels Exclusive: The Home Office could extend the use of a former military barracks to house asylum seekers despite local backlash, KentOnline can reveal.

I was asked to comment on this story ⬇️

"I am calling on the government to cancel the contract with Clearsprings and claw back as much of the Β£1 billion as possible, and to use that site to get on with building the council housing we need urgently."

BBC Radio 4 - CafΓ© Hope, Southport special A special CafΓ© Hope with Rachel Burden.

You won't spend a more uplifting 15 mins than listening to this episode of CafΓ© Hope from Southport. Featuring interviews with two people who helped out after the riot there, & the iman of the mosque.

Everything will be ok.
I'm not crying. You're crying.
