What are prisons for? Brilliant opening speech from @TheTartanCon here at @birminghamsalon. Lyrical, moving, based on experience. "The punishment is to be sent to prison not to be punished while you are there". Fair point. Depriving people of their liberty is indeed punishment.
RT @redrumlisa: A year ago the Mirror wrote up a lovely piece on the #lockdowndiaries #Theworkingclasscollective - today you can buy it.

If you get a chance, see #TheCornIsGreen at @NationalTheatre - loved it. If you are Welsh and / or believe in the transformative power of knowledge, you are in for a double treat. Yes a period piece; but also timeless. Calon Lan still playing in my ears.
RT @DamianoBuratti: Film Archive: Emlyn William's play "THE CORN IS GREEN" has been adapted three times for screen:
— in 1945 starring Bette Davis (black and white)

RT @FreeBlckThought: PUBLIC OPINION ON ABORTION: 1/3
American opinion on abortion hasn't changed much in decades.
According to a 2021 Gallup poll, we are evenly split:
—49% say they are "pro-choice"
—47% say they are "pro-life"
These %s have held fairly steady for a quarter century.
RT @StephenNolan: Nolan Podcast up for two @radioacademy Arias awards tonight .
After we released this podcast, @dt_ni & I heard from many people - who had been afraid of the “consequences” of even asking questions.
The podcast has stimulated much needed debate throughout the UK -so thank you!
RT @ShahrarAli: Appalled to learn of hate campaign to disrupt & intimidate women at Bristol @Womans_Place_UK meeting.
Women, many of whom experienced or fought to combat male violence against women & girls want to talk about birth, motherhood & obstetric violence.
