Solidarity with Louise Adler and Randa Abdel-Fattah. We stand against this retrograde decision and with the countless authors withdrawing in support of Randa and her work.

I became interested in humanism through many chats with my mother & thus since her passing I became a paid up member. I would urge like-minded followers to consider doing likewise - the #Humanists in the UK do some brilliant work.

Sign the petition: Strip Boris Johnson of his annual former PM allowance 23,000. That's how many deaths can be blamed on Boris Johnson's chaotic Covid decisions and delays. Enough is enough, he must be stripped of his annual £115,000 handout. Sign the petition today:

Please sign the petition. #COVIDInquiry finds #BorrisJohnson responsible for needless deaths of 23,000. #TaxPayers should not be paying him £115,000 expenses every year for life. #COVID

Sometimes the mobile digital #LinguisticLandscape is all about sports! And buses!

You would think that journalists and commentators realised how much #LanguageMatters, after 40 years of #CultureWars and 10 years of social-media inflamed #hate-speech.

Check out J L Austin's 1955 book 'How To Do Things With Words' where he coined the term 'performative utterance'.
