Which reminded me of this. A piece of writing by the great @frankcottrell_b that I love & hold dear. If you’ve ever wondered why the Olympics opening ceremony was so brilliant, the answer is here: art, creativity, collaboration & above all else, generosityhttps://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jul/15/frank-cottrell-boyce-proms-lecture-what-point-culture-in-brexit-britain …

The Olympic ceremony began with a gift. Well, it began with history that became art that was given away for free that became the germ of an idea that became an artistic collaboration with thousands ofvolunteers that created a defining moment of our post-war cultural history... 3/pic.twitter.com/SkV3Ua6QG8

Brexit was a battle of stories. The story of who we are as a country & who we want to be. And if we want to live in a country where truth & justice matter, we have to not just say why truth & justice matter but make people feel it. We have to tell this story better 4/pic.twitter.com/IyC5wjnSDB

There are dark days ahead. But this is what gives me hope. This is

It began, he said, with a small group of people. Who had, or at least, evolved a plan. We are at the beginning of the beginning. This shitshow has years left to run. But change has to start somewhere. And maybe small acts of generosity are one place it begins.. 6/

It will take years before we know the full story of what happened in 2016. The extent of the crimes, the role of Facebook, the links to Trump, the lengths the govt went to to cover it up. But none of it matters if people don’t care. And at the moment, they don’t. 9/

But change starts somewhere. And so with apologies for the sincerity & profound unBritishness of this, I feel hope. We have to tell this story better.
