A lovely quote to start the day, by English poet Matthew Arnold, who was born #onthisday in 1822:
Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy’d the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved, to have thought,
To have done
Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy’d the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved, to have thought,
To have done

There are 6,000 children trapped in illegal schools in England – many hidden behind claims of ‘part-time’ education. In reality, they’re confined to cramped rooms, forced to study scripture for hours each day. Donate today to stop this.

This is not equality. The BBC is supposed to be impartial. Why are they only promoting religious views on R2 and R4? Why is more secular positive messaging from organisations such as the @humanists.uk not included? Pls help equality by signing this petition.
Humanist beliefs are not permitted to be broadcast on BBC Radio 4's Thought for the Day. The BBC had a legal requirement to represent everyone equally – not just religious people. If you agree, please lend your support by signing our petition.
