On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

Here’s a poem for Earth Day. It’s called ‘Birdsong’.
Birdsong
 
There is a bird who sings to me,
each morning from the old lime tree.
I wonder what he’s trying to say?
Stop fucking up. It’s not too late.
 
It’s such a happy, joyous sound!
Little bird who chirps so loud
And brightens up my day with song.
Stop standing there. You’ve not got long.
 
I wish I could translate your words,
my faithful, a cappella bird,
who sits upon the lime tree bough.
And still you wait. You must act now.
 
All’s quiet in the tree today.
I think perhaps he’s moved away.
There’s silence these days everywhere,
the ghost of birdsong in the air.

In this month’s @WHICH? Magazine did a piece on which pain medication is the best and appropriate in collaboration with The British Pain Society @britishpainsoc.bsky.social which I’m a honorary member. They wanted to hear about my story living/rehab - persistent pain. #SelfmgtLIVING-Works

NHS bought & sold via corruption 'Wes Streeting is considering PFI 2.0: it could END our NHS as we know it' via @premnsikka.bsky.social NHS received £13bn private investment, repayment's £80bn+. PFI is a scam. Govt guarantees corporate profits. Govt can borrow & invest at much lower cost."

So, Wes Streeting, private health firms have given you shedloads of money without expecting anything in return and it’s only a coincidence that you want more un-evidence-based, expensive NHS privatisation? FFS, Labour, after 14 years of Tory lies, people deserve better than this

My marine biologist son Rob has lived on the same island for 7 years, doing painstaking work to improve biodiversity and train local people in conservation. Here’s a new video. Nothing dramatic (he’s not Attenborough and doesn’t have a film crew). Just a healthy coral reef: youtu.be/2wlk-yfYi9Q?...

An inconvenient truth for Labour: NHS privatisation is entirely un-evidence based and the public has never agreed to it. All evidence, in fact, is that privatisation is: 1) more expensive for taxpayers, and 2) has worse outcomes for patients
