Updated 10 September 2021

I have attended the national commemoration to mark International Holocaust Memorial Day in London for several years.

Updated 19 April 2018

In recent weeks my mind has been occupied with thoughts of Syria. I have spent a lot of time reading the reactions of Syrian activists in the diaspora to the launch of airstrikes, and listening to what my Syrian friends thought, many of whom still have family living there.
