The London Chatter

Folk say Shakespeare is hard to understand, but it isn’t when it is delivered like this by Ian McKellen. Amazing how the language flows and stops to flow again, immediately comprehensible even to the modern ear. Both of them geniuses in their own way.

A Manta Ray weaves in and out of plastic bags and litter in search of food at Manta Point in Bali. We must do better. Nature is amazing. Protect it. #PassOnPlastic #Wasteless #Useless #Buyless #biodiversity #oceans

You don't have to be at your strongest to make a difference. 7 bags of litter collected in and around my local nature reserve this morning.

We are deeply moved by the outpouring of love for our founder, Dr Iain Douglas-Hamilton, who sadly passed away last night. Asante sana for your kindness and support. Our friends at Maramedia have shared a touching tribute from the film 'A Life Among Elephants'. Farewell, Iain.

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award, "It's not lost on me why I might have won this award" "Aside from presenting Match of the Day, the most iconic football show for 26 years" "Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice" @GaryLineker Legend 👏

24th of JULY, LETS GO BANG THE POTS Y'ALL, STOP THE FAMINE!

Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right... I just heard #MichaelMadsen described as ‘a cool cinematic breeze…’ How perfect. RIP.

@LauraLoomer @ZohranKMamdani Go eat some more dog food (with you hands) Laura.

Honestly, being an Islamist and a Communist was enough for me to not want @ZohranKMamdani in office. He is from Africa. And you can tell in the way he eats. Disgusting. My dogs are cleaner and more civilized when they eat than little Muhammad.

Londoners, get ready! From Fri 27 to Sun 29, life-sized animal puppets will roam the city in a creative stampede by @The__Herds as part of a 20,000km journey symbolising wildlife movement due to climate change. It's free and unforgettable fun for the whole family. 📽️ The Herds

8 years on we remember. 💚 #Grenfell #GrenfellTower #ForeverInOurHearts

Holding Dr. Alaa al-Najjar in my heart today. Amid an endless stream of shocking scenes and stories, her unfathamoble loss floored me. It’s hard to put words to a grief that deep, but hers is a pain the world must not look away from. 💔

Loved all his films but #ValKilmer’s portrayal of Jim Morrison was a masterpiece. The youngest student ever accepted into Juilliard, he was an amazing actor - and I highly recommend watching his documentary ‘VAL’ - it’s as creative and captivating as the man himself.

“I have behaved poorly. I have behaved bravely. I have behaved bizarrely to some. I deny none of this and have no regrets because I have lost and found parts of myself that I never knew existed. And I am blessed.” #ValKilmer (2021)

Happy 91st Birthday to my forever hero, @JaneGoodallInst - A true trailblazer in animal conservation, she has dedicated her life to protecting wildlife and inspiring generations to care for our planet. Also, Jane is this month’s #VoguePhilippines ‘Earth Issue’ Cover Girl. ICONIC.

Never mind the astronauts, LOOK....Dolphins 🐬🐬

James Harrison, the “Man with the Golden Arm,” has passed. The Australian prolific blood donor saved over TWO MILLION babies with 1173 plasma donations containing a rare antibody used to prevent rhesus disease in newborns. A true hero… What a legacy! RIP independent.co.uk/news/world/aus…
