A helper of children & their parents for over 40yrs ~ I hope it's been of use to them ~ a child born today will be my age in 2086, that's a sobering thought.

Don't let them tell you we can't afford to tackle the social emergency we face.

A one-off 10% tax on wealth above £10m could raise £86 BILLION.

There's huge wealth in our society. It's just in the wrong hands.

It's time for a Wealth Tax on the super-rich.

Just because you’re rich doesn’t give you a right to own and break whatever you want.
The best way to avoid burnout is to not give a shit about things which are out of your control in the first place. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

“This is a thread to honour the many British people who have helped to build our Europe. The UK can leave, but their contributions stay, and this will always be OUR Europe that we built together. Nobody can erase that history. 1/”

Cutting state school spending is ok it seems but touch Eton and it’s a whole different ball game.

I don’t have an unwanted pregnancy.

I’m not in Ukraine getting hit by Russian shelling.

I’m not facing ethnic cleansing in Tigray.

I don’t have a disability.

I’m not gay.

➡️ But I defend everyone’s rights.

✅ Because that’s what universal human rights are all about.

The German Sesame Street theme song:

Der, die, das.
Wer, wie, was?
Wieso, weshalb, warum?
Wer nicht fragt bleibt dumm!

The, the, the.
Who, how, what?
Why, why, why?
Those who don't ask stay dumb!

The German word "warum" means "why".

The German word "wieso" means "why".

The German word "weshalb" means "why".

The German word "weswegen" means "why".

And now you're all wondering: "But ... why?"

Well, darum.*

Enjoy our language!

(*"Darum" means "just because" and is the shortest answer to every warum-question you can think of - and don't really want to answer. Actually, the same goes for "deshalb" and "deswegen" - but there's no "dieso".)
