‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

Wonder what place in Britain has the worst/scruffiest taxis? Pose question after @crosscountryuk.bsky.social train refused to go beyond Newport & resorting to taxi to get to my #Tummler workshop gig in Chepstow. This cold, scruffy Newport cab would take some beating? Any worse? #craptaxi

My local corner shop has had to resort to creating a Rogues Gallery of alleged shoplifters in frustration st lack of response from the police. Communities using modern equiv of stocks to publicly shame wrongdoers. Should they have to resort to #SocialCapital ? #southwalespolice
