George Dawson said that opening Birmingham’s public libraries announced ‘a town like this exists for moral and intellectual purposes’ & isn't just 'a fortuitous concourse of human atoms' or 'a miserable knot of vipers struggling in a pot’.

Which obviously for me is slightly different as it’s part of a much bigger tour and at this stage of my career, but my worry is how are we getting to see new performers and hearing new voices if the only people who can do it are people with money or backing! It’s pure greed! 2/2

Edinburgh Festival prices especially for accommodation are an absolute joke! No idea how anyone starting out is managing to get up there and showcase their talents! I’ve just priced up a week up there and even if every show sells out, I’m still operating at a loss. 1/2

Saw all 3 eps. It was bitter memory, communal therapy and reclaimed history. Hope #Defiance team know by the outpouring of emotions on here what an overdue landmark series this is. Essential viewing. Keep telling the untold stories. @shamindernahal @RajeshThind @rizwanahmed ✊🏾
