A few days left to get your voice heard by the Home Office about its #spycops (so-called) consultation. Some thoughts from 'Alison' on the matter. Go to this action page to submit your response: ucpi.uk/consultation/

Another great year of the Tree Circle Cinema. Thanks to all our supporters, to Jon Reynolds for the familysession, The Muckers for the ceilidh, and to the fabulous local community. A magical evening.

The castle looms over the peasant humans like an alien mother ship gathering their forced tribute. When the aliens (aristocrats) emerge, as in April, they are giants in weird, elaborate suits. Which is either Julian May's Many Coloured Land or an accurate critique of feudal Europe.

Huge gorgeously dressed figures dwarf the forest and castle.

Today is #InternationalMuseumDay ! 🎉 The theme for 2026 is "Museums Uniting a Divided World" so we’re highlighting one of the works on display at Wigan’s Voice! 'Here We Found a Safe Place' is a collaborative banner made by more than 30 women from SWAP, the Support for Wigan Arrivals Project.

The banner is made up of individual square pieces featuring various images including sharing food, hands of friendship, and love.

Look forward to reading, hope the launch went well. I've been intrigued about Eileen since reading Anna Funder's 'Wifedom' - during the fall of Barcelona she held down the POUM(?) office & risked arrest to get travel docs, none of which Orwell mentions. Unbearable that she died so young & why

Nice, though maybe next time some provision for wheelchair users? We've just managed that in our local park, led by the users' group.

As 'Rosa' explains, the #spycops were 'fabrications by the state'. Deceived into a relationship by Jim Boyling, Rosa gives evidence to next set of inquiry hearings which begin Monday 2nd February. Don't miss it.

Hamnet is a good book, but going to get a botanical anachronism off my chest: Michaelmas daisies p114. They're a later north American introduction. European MD are a mountain plant, not found in 16thC Warwickshire. Am I boring? Very well then, I'm boring.

Enjoyed the exhibition today & I'll ask for the livestream. If coming from Hackney allow for 38 & 56 buses being up the spout around Bloomsbury, probably thanks to that underground fire at Holborn.

Last week saw a media flurry when Baroness Lawrence testified to the energy #spycops put into subverting the family justice campaign, not investigating Stephen's murder. This week there are 2 days more to hear Peter Francis who fessed up. Meanwhile COPS beavers away on a shoestring...

No, the interesting thing is that she's speaking as an Arab member of the Knesset, a rarity. Hence the truth telling.

I can't go to the Castle any more because Hackney council rejected their proposal to add a lift for wheelchair users. It's my local & I used to love it.

I'm in a similar pickle. This is the powerchair I got myself in 2022 It's fine for buses & trains & handles rough stuff well - from Hackney marsh to London's often hideous footways. Not sure it can be hired though. (My bike is an eBrompton)

This beach wheelchair was easier to push. The small wheels are at the back. Great fun.

It's good that councils are thinking of wheelchair users, but I used one of this design recently and it was very hard to push on dry sand. Also the small front wheels tended to swivel sideways because they carry little weight. We gave up. I've used a better design & I'll try to find pics.

Oak galls on Hackney Marsh. Right, a knopper (wasp) gall. Left, I've not noticed this one before, they're made by the gorgeously named Silk-button Spangle Gall Wasp (thanks, Seek app). Both wasps produce an autumn generation of parthenogenetic females & then in Spring a sexual generation. Amazing

Links to the perceptions in Graeber & Wengrow's The Dawn of Everything. They describe cultures in eg. North America & Turkey where people chose not to move permanently to agriculture or urbanism. And where fair debate and logic were valued above rhetorics of violence.

Easy to miss, but important. At @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk we've been working towards this moment for years - the DfT has publicly announced that it is looking at sorting out mobility aid laws. 🎉 Our #MyCycleMyMobilityAid campaign looks like it is paying off.

Screenshot of a tweet from Simon Lightwood MP. Jul 21.
"Everyone deserves safe, accessible transport.
That’s why we’re extending e-scooter trials to 2028 and expanding them to new towns to learn how best to regulate them.
We’re also looking at our mobility aid laws so disabled people can use the devices they need for independence." Accompanied with a photo, the alt text for which was "Hire escooters parked in a line in a designated parking area", image attribution Department for Transport.
