Just lost 30 mins going through the programme for HA conference in May - great academics from @UniofNewcastle and @NorthumbriaUni that I wouldn’t usually get to hear. How do I choose? / About Us / Historical Association history.org.uk/aboutus/categ…

We know it’s a fabulous line up for anyone with a general interest in history as well as teachers. Don’t forget that some of the talks are also recorded so you can listen to some of them when you get home.

Of course what the @marksandspencer cyber attack has highlighted is not just that their IT security was poor but that that their customer service is totally inadequate, unhelpful and rude. There is no desire to help anyone who has been caught up in the organisation’s failures.

15 December 1984. Do They Know It’s Christmas? by pop supergroup Band Aid entered the UK chart at No 1 and stayed there for 5 weeks. At the time, it was the biggest selling UK single of all time, only later surpassed in 1997 by Elton John’s revised Candle in the Wind.

On my way to help and support the #AJEX Remembrance Parade. It started in the 1930’s by veterans to demonstrate that there had been 45,000+ Jews in the British Military in WW1 with many still serving. They wanted to remember all the fallen and combat rising antisemitism.
more equal world for everyone. With antisemitism and hate back on the streets in the 21st century the #Remembrance Parade is an important reminder that British and Jewish life are entwined. Jews are not ‘others’ they are part of the UK.

On the way back to Accra, i visit the Swedish-Danish-British slavecastle Carolusborg Cape Coast Castle where millions of enslaved died as they did at Elmina…. These castles were places of real evil and i feel they are haunted to this day…

“We are fighting for our lives, for our future, and mostly for the future of our children.”
Arab-Israeli TV anchor @lucyaharish interrupted rolling coverage of Hamas’s atrocities against Israelis to make this heartrending appeal to the world.
Please listen and share.
