'Muslim Wales - A History in 9 Places' is now officially available for purchase!

I really want these stories out there, for the names of Welsh Muslim pioneers to be known, and for Wales' Islamic history to be celebrated.

Thank you to everyone who made this happen!

It's great to see that edgelords finally have representation in the Senedd.

🚨Plaid Cymru were left ‘horrified’ and ‘frightened’ by my contribution defending the British Empire and the importance of teaching history honestly. 😳

The British Empire was ultimately a force for good in the world, and judged by historical standards, rather than contemporary ones, it was a beacon of moral virtue. Our ancestors gave everything, their money and even their lives, abolishing slavery, only for that to be thrown back in their faces.

(THIS DOESN’T MEAN IT WAS MORALLY GOOD ALL THE TIME, ONLY WHEN JUDGED AS A WHOLE AND IN ITS HISTORICAL CONTEXT).

The British are a special people, with a glorious history. Something to be grateful for, something to be taught honestly. 🇬🇧

I'm tired of hiding it, so I'm coming clean. I don't believe in quantitative methods. I view pollsters the same way I view court oracles who look at animal entrails and predict the King will die of consumption.

You know the loss of character counts is as integral to Twitter's decline as Elon Musk. Before, the racism had to boiled down to its very essence before posting, now I'm seeing lazy scatter gun racism, no class.
