Already shared on Threads, but went for a "walk around the block" yesterday and on the way back was blessed with this. Apparently a female Sparrowhawk, and yes I just waited until she was ready to leave before moving on myself. 💙

@goodlawproject.bsky.social and @justtreatment.org set up a tool to help us check whether our local NHS trusts are adopting Palantir's software and, if so, to send an email calling on them to reject its use. Let's start emailing! notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-tar...

Today you may be safe but eventually they will come for you. I can hear the echoes of fascist boots as the move onward crushing everything and everyone in their path. Soon they will be unstoppable because you were deluded into complacency and failed to act!

So Reform MP Pochin has: - Lied about "antisocial behaviour by asylum seekers" (contradicted by local residents & the Police) - Been openly racist - Lied about getting funding for a charity What kind of vetting did she pass? It was clearly very poor!

Here’s another poem for National Poetry Day. This one is called ‘A Brief History of Modern Art in Poetry’.

A Brief History of Modern Art in Poetry

1. Impressionism
Roses sway in softened reds,
Violets swim in murky blues,
Sugar sparkles in the light,
Blurring into golden you.

2. Surrealism
Roses are melting,
Violets are too.
Ceci n’est pas le sucre.
Keith is a giant crab

3. Social Realism
Roses are dead,
Violence is rife.
Don’t sugar coat
This bitter life.

4. Abstract Expressionism
Are and.
Violets roses so.
You sweet blue.
Are are red is sugar

5. Pop Art
Roses go BLAM!
Violets go POW!
Sugar is COOL!
You are so WOW!

6. Conceptual Art
Roses are red,
Coated in blood:
A deer’s severed head
Drips from above

The BBC shut down "Mock the Week" and "The Mash Report". They set the example for what America is doing to it's TV shows. Dissent will not be tolerated.

Reminds me of reading (in one of the royal castles) that the monarch could imprison anyone they deemed a threat (or just disliked). Now THERE'S a piece of "progress" that I'm sure KC III would like to roll back today!!

I'll be fascinated to see if the BBC covers the (untimely) death of Robert Redford with the same near-hysteria that they covered the death of C Kirk. Somehow I suspect the former won't get the wall-to-wall coverage that the latter event did. PS I thought RR was great in Sneakers.

Donald Trump is carrying out Genocide in Gaza so he can build a Trump Hotel. While also plunging the USA into a fascist dictatorship. This is like inviting Adolf Hitler. RT if he is not welcome in the UK.

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.

English Roundabouts

They’re making the roundabouts great again
by painting the flag of St George
to keep our circular road systems safe
from the dark, satanic hordes.

What do they want? Patriotic junctions!
When do they want them? Before it’s too late.
Good old-fashioned English roundabouts,
as decreed by Alfred the Great.

Behold the sacred intersection,
this blessed plot, this septic isle.
English roundabouts for English people,
draped in red and white and bile.

St George is cross, as well he may be –
whipped-up hate, he’s seen before.
Give way to the right, the road signs rage,
and the far right most of all.

Brian Bilston

Grumpy today. Looking at the world and wondering what the heck happened to "aspirational politics"? Political offering these days seems to be limited to "we're not as bad as those clowns opposite" rather than making the world better.
