Dear Friends,
THIS is what the coal front of protest and activism looks like, with none other than the extraordinary @gretathunberg in the midst and at the helm!
I have so much respect and appreciation for every one of these people, who put their own safety at risk in service to the cause. These days have been profoundly disturbing, through what appears to be an axis of evil taking over so many countries in the world.
The manufacturers of weaponary have absolutely no qualms about the effects of their ill gotten profits.. relying on the shredding, blasting, burning, wounding and slaughtering of everything in the path their target… no matter whether adults, elderly, children or babies..
Modern warfare is despicable and repugnant.
A curse upon this earth.

Dear Friends,
The harrowing testimony of this 21 year old man is abominable, yet the torture he underwent is absolutely commonplace.
Palestinians are generally regarded as ‘animals’ and terrorists as soon as they are born and therefore ‘deserve’ every kind of abuse and sadistic punishment meted out to them.
There are no boundaries left uncrossed. No human rights respected.

Dear Friends,
This is the hellscape of Northern Gaza after 500 days of bombardment.
Imagine your hometown being reduced to a condition like this.

Dear Friends, In all honesty, I’ve had little faith in the ‘ceasefire’ agreement since it was announced. Saturday will be a day of dread, as there is every chance that the carnage will re - commence.. it actually never ‘really’ stopped. Nevertheless I think it’s important for those who, like me, find this entire situation to be morally- ethically and legally reprehensible - even signing a petition is meaningful and significant. I am dreading what lies ahead.

@warchilduk has started a petition over on their site asking UK prime minister Keir Starmer to do everything he can to ensure the ceasefire holds for good and I’ve added a link to it in my bio.

Dear Friends,
To CARE about the plight of children in Gaza ought to be a human/humane response for any ‘normal’ person.
Only someone completely devoid of empathy could be indifferent, after tens of thousands have been killed, wounded, burned, starved, orphaned and subjected to the most traumatising environment where nothing is safe or secure and the entire infrastructure has been reduced to rubble.
Surely the entire world should be responsible and concerned for their welfare… Right???!!!

Dear Friends,
I have been as careful as possible not to take sides in this nightmarish scenario. A very difficult challenge.
The main thing I’ve tried to focus on is the issue of innocent women and children who have been forced to endure the most appalling circumstances one could ever imagine. This precious child and her mother should never have been put through such agony and trauma..
We must ask - who is responsible for this???
There is a long list of collective responsibility. We can multiply the numbers of wounded, orphaned, traumatised and dead children by tens of thousands..
All of these atrocities must be held to accountability.

Dear Friends,
Listening to this story, you can’t help but reflect on the tens of thousands of mothers, grandmothers and children who are caught up in the apex of extreme ‘man-made’ atrocities and suffering.
For however long this ‘pause’ in the proceedings continues, they are at the mercy of global leaders decisions who want to see them expelled or destroyed.
There are no ‘safety nets’ or safe places to go..
This same story is carried out in all conflict zones everywhere in the world, as if it’s ‘normal’.
Is it ‘normal’??? Are all the horrors and atrocities we’ve witnessed been normalised?
Such a cruel world, where religion is weaponised to pit people against each other in forever wars and women and children have to bear the brunt of it.

Dear Friends,
Throughout these last 15 months I’ve been following this extraordinary young woman. I can’t wait to see this film.. The whole world should be aware of her.. SO courageous.. steadfast and absolutely remarkable.
Thanks to @wizard_bisan1, we’ve been able to witness life/ survival in Gaza. It has been beyond devastating and heart breaking, yet Bisan’s spirit is irrepressible.

Bisan will be heading to Canada on a film tour along with Ahmad Ghunaim - you can find out more and get tickets via @seen.palestine @seen.tv

I’m absolutely delighted to announce the line-up of artists, speakers and special guests taking part in The Circle’s inaugural SISTERS event!

@celeste @misanharriman @nadineshah @rioghnachconnolly @claraamfo + some surprise guests on the night!

It’s been amazing to have so many of my favourite artists answering the call to support @thecirclengo’s mission of empowering women and girls globally. The fact that tickets sold out in minutes, has been life affirming, especially as I recently celebrated my 70th year on the planet!

I’m thrilled we can still offer a chance to attend, via the ‘For One Night Only’ (@fonoevents) prize draw, which includes access to the show and my soundcheck.
The money raised will help support some of the world’s most marginalised women and girls. As women’s rights are being rolled back, the need has never been greater

The prize draw is live on Crowdfunder now, with entries closing on 23rd February – to enter visit foronenightonly.org

Dear Friends,
Over these last few days of apparent ‘ceasefire’ I’ve been feeling truly sombre.. realising the full effects of this entire scenario, and what might yet be ahead.
I’m delighted for the freed hostages and their families, who have unquestionably undergone a living hell since Oct 7th. I hope these releases can continue on both sides.
I came across this clip today…At least 18,130 dead children represented here - spanning almost 8kms - taking 95 mins to walk.
41 % unreported deaths are predicted, which could mean up to 25,000, which will climb again as children return to
life threatening circumstances.
It leaves me feeling absolutely numb with horror.
This MUST all be accounted for.

Dear Friends,
These last few weeks and days seem to have been more and more intense - with an enormous sense of overwhelm…
Everywhere you look, there seems to be another catastrophe..with life and death suspended so perilously close.
Looking at this desolate landscape…
Witnessing the result of man - made destruction, we are seeing the final results of the darkest aspects of human existence.#unwra
