Erica Jackson lives in a country where her neighbours can be dragged off by masked men: "From the start, the administration set their sights on targeting marginalised and minority groups.

Hannah Cloke says that England's water crisis calls for more than just a few new reservoirs: "We need a complete overhaul of the way we use water.

We need to catch more water wherever it falls – not just in the river basins that are linked to big reservoirs."

Richard Blair - George Orwell's adopted son - remembers his childhood: "At the beginning of June, following his wishes, I left Jura and was placed in the care of Lilian Wolfe, who ran a ‘colony’ at Whiteway, near Stroud. Whiteway had been an anarchists’ colony during the First World War and was a strange place to accommodate me but as far as I can recall I was perfectly happy there and even attended a local kindergarten for a few weeks."
