Little Toller Books @littletollerbooks.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

Dear Nigel: a) you weren't an MP when this happened b) sentencing reflects factors like the severity of injuries caused - ie none c) it was a MILKSHAKE you big cry-baby

Tweet from nigel farage saying we now live in a country where you can attack an mp and not go to prison. Above GBNews article about milkshake attacker getting suspended sentence.

Oh god. The inevitable Daily Mail tantrum at a Labour govt edging towards a slightly less ruinous relationship with our own continent. What do these idiotic nationalists want? Permanent hostility? Endless cost and loss? ‘Betraying’ Brexit is an act of patriotic necessity now, you howling clowns.

Destroy the myth that libraries are no longer relevant.

If you use your library, please share.

I feel sure the bulk of us want to rejoin the EU. Until such time that there's an impact assessment on the effects of leaving has been established, it won't happen I'm calling for an inquiry. Please sign the petition bit.ly/4eq3c17

bit.ly

Petition: Commission a public inquiry into the impact of the UK exiting the European Union

Given that it has stated its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of exiting the European Union as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.

Funny how we never saw headlines like this after the last government made a series of totally unfunded tax cuts prior to the election

David Graeber Institute @davidgraeberinst.bsky.social · 13/11/2024

After the financial crash in 2008,. David Graeber made some rather interesting comments about the so-called financial sector of the economy. His words are still very relevant today in 2024. Have a read for yourself.

The spotlight on the financial sector did make apparent just how bizarrely
skewed our economy is in terms of who gets rewarded and for what. There
was this pall of mystification cast over everything pertaining to that sector,
we were told, this is all so very complicated, you couldn’t possibly understand,

We just had to take their word that, somehow, this was creating value in
ways our simple little heads couldn’t possibly get around. Then after the crash
we realized a lot of this stuff was not just scams, but pretty simple-minded scams,
like taking bets you couldn’t possibly pay if you lost and just figuring the Gov't
would bail you out if you did. These guys weren’t creating value of any kind. They
were making the world worse and getting paid insane amounts of money for it."
.
Suddenly it became possible to see that if there’s a rule, it’s that the more
obviously your work benefits others, the less you’re paid for it. CEOs and
financial consultants that are actually making other people’s lives worse were
paid millions, useless paper-pushers got handsomely compensated, people
fulfilling obviously useful functions like taking care of the sick or teaching kids,
repairing broken heating systems or picking vegetables were the least rewarded.
.

Hello BlueSky. We had held off starting a dedicated channel to see how BlueSky evolved instead posting all of our 10 Bylines on @bylinesnetwork.bsky.social, but given how fast BlueSky is growing, now is the time to make the jump. Please help spread the word that Central Bylines are now here
