"If we don't act urgently, we're screwed" my call out at #SxSWLondon in panel discussion with @carolinelucas.bsky.social on English identity & tackling social division such as our work with #ModernCockneyFestival

This year's #ModernCockneyFestival (March 1-31st) features live opera, poetry, theatre, and family fun day events along with online talks.
Check out at www.moderncockneyfestival.org.uk
Celebrate the culture, heritage, and identity of 'non-posh Londoners'

What are you doing to celebrate #SirMichaelCaine birthday today?

As my dear old Uncle Len used to say, 'Enjoy yourself. Life's too short'. Make the most of the precious time, relationships, and togetherness you have.

#SteveMcQueen latest film #Blitz is both a timely rekindling of an inspiring story but also offers valuable lessons for today.
And just to think my Dad and his family were probably in their backyard shelter in this Luftwaffe pic.

Have you seen the film?
