Outstanding show of solidarity from Turkish side Konyaspor in their friendly against the Palestinian national team. They showered the pitch in teddies to be donated to children and suspended the match at 89:59 with a message stating 'Until Palestine is free, the match has been postponed'.

Now thats what I call a custom paint job.

Crunched Vespa hand painted with what looks like orange matt emulsion. I’d still have it.

Went for a walk to where the Small Faces used to live all together in Pimlico last night - disappointingly no huge blue plaque. But Battersea Power Station looked impressive on the way back.

Battersea power station from the north bank of the Thames - front facing cooling towers lit up blue/white and a waxing gibbous moon overhead. No pigs in sight.

All this Danny Thommo stuff makes me think of a family tradition we do every Boxing Day, and no its not all going stabbing lifeboats and intimidating lifeguards! Sorry longish thread as its a great story of actual heroes that should make us all feel patriotic.

Just dropped by Tate Britain for an hour or so - they’ve got a Scopitone showing Agnes Varda films of 50’s Cuba! Thats 3 unexpected delights in one. So much better than the Whistler exhibition.

Glorious blue skies, suede jacket getting an outing, mist hanging in in the fields, so it must be autumn. Appropriately enough on the train to London listening to Railcard playing this - feeling very happy with the world just for a few moments. youtu.be/lnDH3L5CoHo?...

There is no middle ground with the kind of people who attack the RNLI. We don’t need to ‘listen’ to them. We need to tell them where to go.

The RNLI has said the abuse of volunteers in Portsmouth has forced it to close the lifeboat station there and stop operating since September 10. Nearby stations have been providing cover to the area instead. One of the UK's largest coastal cities without a lifeboat because of the far-right.

Fuck all those bastards in shorts and balaclavas. Fuck them with a thorny stick. They're scum. Utter scum. I'm in no doubt that either singly or collectively they could smash my face in, but I am not frightened of them. They are not England. They are not Britain. Tomorrow doesn't belong to them.

There’s a house near me with flags and various Stop The Boats paraphernalia all over it. Was thinking of parking across the driveway so no-one can get out, because I have legitimate concerns. How long do you reckon until the police would get involved? Would it help if I wore a balaclava?

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

The RNLI have some of the best people in Britain volunteering for them. They put their lives on the line when they are called on and they will rescue anyone who needs them. Because every life matters, and offering help is the right thing to do. You can donate here: rnli.org

Not much use condemning something the day after. Also, not ‘costumes’ but paramilitary uniforms, not protestors but organised intimidation. This is a lousy response from all concerned.

Public Order Act 1936 (Section 1) makes it an offence to wear a uniform in a public place….to signify an association with a political organization or with the promotion of any political object. So why didn’t Kent police do their job and arrest those balaclava wearing fuckers in Dover?

Absolute Beginner @leaderofthesect.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Re Dover - if one of them sat down peacefully on the verge with a Palestine Action sign I’m pretty sure the police would be right in there to remove them.

This has finally arrived a few weeks after ordering it - the question is, will it sound as good as it did on first hearing or will it be that cynical exercise in milking the family name as some have suggested? Anyway, Womack Sisters, I’m going in!

Womack Sisters debut album plus bonus 45 of Chaffeur on Daptone. All shiny, new and unplayed. Exciting!
