My main highlights of opening the Woodstock Music Festival. Much more than the music, much more than performing...but of course, it was about the music too. Read and listen... @WoodstockAL #livemusic thedeadpoetmusic.com/post/woodstock…

This is Frank and he has had a coffee stand at the top of the steps at Bethnal Green tube for as long as I can remember. When the new restaurant/coffee shop next door opened along with another high street outlet opening across the street, Frank suddenly found that his license from the council had been revoked and he was chucked off his stand. I believe it was to make way for these new shops to take his regular custom. They didn’t need him in the way of gaining maximum profit... so Frank was gone. Well the locals were having none of it and a petition started demanding his return. How dare they do this to him. How dare these people smash his business and leave him with nothing. After a lot of pressure the council backed down and Frank had his licence and pitch returned to him but sadly by that time Frank had sold his equipment to feed his family and try to survive. So the good people of Bethnal Green started crowdfunding and here’s the result... Frank back in business on his old pitch with brand new equipment and even a little hut now to shelter him from the rain... Brilliant!! He is truly the happiest man in East London and it’s wonderful to see. It really does show that if we all stick together, stand up to them and just say no... the little guy can win. If you’re in Bethnal Green come and have a coffee with this lovely man. 🧡

It's a General Election campaign. Politics, not people. Disgraceful.

Woman changes job.

My Mum & Dad died very suddenly & they were super kind people. Every couple of months I go into a cafe, buy all the cakes & tell them to give them to kids & say it's from them. I miss them so much but this way their names are said all day & people are made happy.

@sophiegreenart FFS. I'm seeing all the black space, more than the animal itself. It's beautiful. Genuinely, "wow"

Watching #FrankBough and thinking, okay he was a bit wild. But then, by today's standards??? Also, in context of Jimmy Saville, it feels like "so what?"

What happens when an industry becomes above the law? NEW SERIES coming next week - with @defence_truth and @Avaaz ...

I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. #SupportLibraries

Wow. This quote from Jacinda Ardern’s resignation: ‘Hope I leave New Zealanders with a belief that you can be kind but strong, empathetic but decisive, optimistic but focused...that you can be your own kind of leader, one who knows when it’s time to go’..
