Thank you to everyone who came to the ‘Evening of Music and Conversation’ at Glasgow’s Armadillo last night!! And MASSIVE thanks to everyone involved behind the scenes in making it happen.. I am beyond grateful! Just had to share a photo of the amazing ‘Annie Lennox’ gin bottle created specially for the occasion by ‘GLASSWEGIN’… It has yet to be imbibed,but I surely will get round to it in the very near future! #glasswegin

Dear Friends,
Atrocities like this have NEVER stopped!
The bombing of whatever remains standing in Gaza, including the refugee tents - the targeted shooting of children’s heads abdomens, backs and groins, the deadly drone attacks - with more child amputees than anywhere else in the world…
ALL ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS!!!
Each and every day for almost THREE YEARS and guess what?…Western interest is starting to fade..
They just want it all to go away. I get it…
But MY conscience won’t allow me to stop bringing attention to this genocide. My focus is on the Palestinian people who have suffered from oppression for decade after decade. I believe in universal human rights -
Ceasefire - and an end to this human hellscape!!

Dear Friends,
Israel now controls 70 per cent of the Gaza Strip.
The gradual creep of yellow and orange lines is forcing thousands of people to try to survive in smaller and smaller pockets of land, while world leaders facilitate and support this forced displacement. There is nowhere to go while the genocide carries on with impunity. It’s proven that children are being directly targeted with guns.
Bombs are being dropped each and every day.,with the constant threat of death delivering drones hovering in the sky. After over two and a half years of genocide, when will the world wake up??!!!

Dear Friends,
I wanted to share this very significant and informative post with you…
There will be another protest march taking place in London on Saturday the 18th. It’s more important than ever that people across the UK come out to express your solidarity against GENOCIDE!
We MUST keep up the momentum
and show the government that the people of Britain are anti - genocide and anti ethnic cleansing!

Dear Friends,
@dr.hussam73 was taken hostage almost two years ago, when he walked out to the Israeli tanks to explain that he could not leave his pediatric patients in the hospital. He has been tortured, starved, denied his medication and beaten so badly that some of his ribs were broken. He has not been charged with anything. Four doctors have already died in Israeli custody, one with signs of being r……ped to death. They now have Dr Hussam Abu Safiya in solitary confinement.
It is likely they want him to be the fifth doctor to die in their prison.
Let’s get a million signatures demanding his release. @amnesty and @msrachelforlittles are advocating for his immediate release as his life is in danger ⚠️

“Britain’s crackdown on Palestine solidarity across communities and faiths is eroding free speech and harming democracy, argues Rachel Spence (@rachelwords)
Consider the treatment of Misan Harriman (pictured in 1st slide). The renowned photographer and chair of the Southbank Centre, Harriman called out the media and London’s Metropolitan Police for failing to report that the assailant responsible for attacking two Jewish men in Golders Green had previously stabbed a Muslim man.
Harriman’s post provoked fury. As well as a skein of vituperative articles, MPs called for his removal from the Southbank. The persecution of Harriman, who is Black, is a symptom of the racism that pulses in right-wing British culture. As the Israeli flags waving on last month’s far-right demonstration in London showed, malignance is now entwined with the pro-Zionist virus.“

I was very shocked and saddened to hear about the sudden tragic passing of Alexi Cory-Smith yesterday.
She was one of the very first women to take a senior role at any of the big record labels. A powerhouse with a vision. She established her own catalogue company, @bellafiguramusic four years ago, and was highly revered throughout the music industry. Gone far too soon.
Sending deepest sympathy to her family and friends who must all be in deep shock and grief.🕊️

Dear Friends,
Please remember their names
One year old Siwar Abu Draz and her 23 year old mother, Diana were both killed in their makeshift tent yesterday. They were sheltering with many other displaced families in an area that was previously designated as a humanitarian zone.
There is no safe place in Gaza.

Dear Friends,
Remember the metaphor about the frog being put in a pot of cold water that was gradually being turned up to boiling point? I think we could apply this to human beings and climate change.
We’re just going to sit in the water until it boils over apparently.
Please send in names of prominent climate activist politicians who are making a concerted effort to make impactful change. Apart from @thegreenparty , I can’t think of any other British party who are putting this existential issue to the forefront.
Don’t any of these people have children - grandchildren???
I guess not…

Dear Friends,
Can you even begin to imagine these circumstances?
The mother of a young baby, struggling to take care of her child, while trying to survive in vermin infested tents under the hot sun with no access to functioning services of any kind.

Dear Friends,
Please take a moment to listen to the accounts of this EXCEPTIONAL doctor, who has been dedicated to tending to the desperate needs of emergency patients in Gaza.
Under constant duress and with extremely limited resources, along with her medical colleagues she tries to save lives - one after another. All the while the stomach turning genocidal rhetoric pours unabated from the mouths of those well-known players.
In a few months time it will be 3 years since ‘Pandora’s box’ was opened.. How much longer will it be until this blood lust is satiated?

Dear Friends,
Witnessing the leaders of the G7 get together for a formal picture today made me almost feel ill. They all hold the power to prevent the spread and escalation of what is taking place in the Middle East, yet they fail to do so.
My appreciation of George Orwell and Frank Kafka has deepened over the last two and a half years.
The times we’re living in now have pulled back the curtain to reveal the worst aspects of human behaviour. Is THIS where we lead the world towards extinction??

Dear Friends,
A ‘reality check’ for those predatory would be real estate ‘entrepreneurs’ looking for a nice piece of shoreline property on Palestinian land.
Just a few ‘obstacles’ to overcome before ‘paradise’ by the sea becomes a reality…

Dear Friends,
A few years ago I had the great fortune to spend a Sunday afternoon with David Hockney in his studio. It was a magical experience, as you might imagine.
As a teenager in the late 60’s I was instantly drawn to his work via the portrait of ‘Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy’, which I thought was the total essence of ‘cool’.
‘A Bigger Splash’ came a bit later. Life changing for so many reasons.
I LOVED his style..his bold sense of colour, pattern and contrast. His paintings and drawings ‘spoke’ volumes to me.
I feel so blessed and privileged to have met Mr Hockney.
His legacy will live on forever… 🕊️
🤍❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤
