Hey that’s us!!

On this day 28 years ago, the Good Friday Agreement was signed. This remarkable document – made possible by political leadership, vision, and compromise – helped end a cycle of violence that had continued for 30 years on the island of Ireland. Learn more: lnkd.in/eGX5Nkyh

In the planning stage, a key intention was that people in work would keep more of their benefits (a taper). This was quickly reduced as a budget cut. So the incentives after travel costs, are greatly reduced from the original vision bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… #universalcredit

Frustrations with, and the profile of #Potholes in Brighton & Sussex continues to increase. People in Ireland still talk about when frustrated Cavan locals stood for election on this issue in 1991 in Ireland, and won 4 seats en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Cava…

Brilliant exhibition of a selection of women’s fashion at @UlsterMuseum Accessible and not overwhelming If you’re lucky enough to be in #Belfast, highly recommended 👍 ulstermuseum.org/temporary-exhi…

Every day it just gets worse. The independent review is one thing but change the processes now.

@tamareadler you were so right. Added lemon, olive oil and more salt to my soup as advised. Then it had TASTE! Thank you so much. Now I know the secret, I’m away!!

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Once again, I post this @AuschwitzMuseum photo of Istvan Reiner, as I do every year on #HolocaustMemorialDay. The Nazis had given him a ticket punch to play with. Such a radiant, happy little soul, innocent and pure. And then they gassed him, and snuffed him out. #NeverForget🕯️

Wonderful impromptu night tonight, at Secret Comedy Club Brighton, with irrepressible MC Martin Warren 🏆 We didn’t even know it existed and can highly recommend We all loved it, thank you 👏👏👏👏

The level of imagination and creativity that someone has created on the fungi.

RIP Pam Hogg

To follow up. All for us ended well. Thank you. Away from the fire now though the smell pervades the air everywhere. Desperately sorry for all inhabitants of this region and the havoc this catastrophe has wrought on their beautiful land. #Aude #incendi

“The government should not ban public servants from speaking in public” ⁦@instituteforgov⁩ Be interesting to see the unintended consequences instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/govern…

So interesting bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… @clairelthwaites @ManCityCouncil to exempt terminally ill people with less than a year to live, from #counciltax #welfare
