I’m hearing stories, first hand, of people being refused entry to the US ‘just because’ they made a detrimental remark about the orange guy or sissy. What the actual fuck is wrong? Are they so delicate? What about “Free Speech”?

I’ve been busy being arty today so no SM until now. My friend Herman sent me this. TCALSS The Dropkick Murphys criticised Trump and Musk from the stage at their gig. #FreeSpeechMyArse #FuckMusk

A screen shot.

Dropkick Murphys are a Celtic punk band from the USA. Recently, they criticised the 45th & 47th president of the USA, and the boss of X aka Twitter, Tesla, SpaceX and DOGE at one of their concerts. This led to the band's X account being suspended.
Social media like Twitter aka X are full of posts denying the mass murder of six million Jews and many others by the Hitler regime.
Apparently, some Big Tech billionaires consider such denial 'free speech' not leading to suspension. But the Dropkick Murphys criticising billionaires apparently IS a cause for suspension.
Followed by confirmation of the account suspension.

“A rerun of Tory austerity by making poor people poorer isn't what Labour should be about. Instead, the government should explore raising extra funds from wealthy corporations and individuals”

Look after the poorest & most vulnerable in your society & country. Those that can look after themselves will do so. Those 1% that are wealthier than all of the rest of us, if they live in this country, should WANT the best for it, right? Why is this controversial? *Oxfam article 2023

Extreme poverty increases as billionaires' fortunes balloon by $2.7bn-a-day (£2bn)
The richest 1% of Britons hold more wealth than 70 per cent of Britons
The richest 1% have pocketed $26

A slightly shorter walk yesterday out to the castle & back. The causeway didn’t open until 1pm so it was quiet on the Island.

Holy Island map showing our walk through the village and out to the castle and back again. Around 2.5 miles.

Lindisfarne castle on its hill, looking westwards towards it from the coastal path. The winding fence leads your eye to the base of the hill. The pebbles beach to your right and the pathway to your left.

Crass coveted sand dune basking in the spring sunshine, whilst the sunlight shimmers on a calm North Sea. There are some relics of an old jetty sticking out of the water and the English mainland in the distance.

4 fishing boats anchor in the bay, whilst behind them in the haze is the navigation aid to assist sailors to miss the sand banks.

1. You feel powerless? Don’t know what you can do to resist the rise of fascism? Here is an answer: Good Things. Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine. Kindness, care and conviviality defend us from it. The more we build community, the less it can take root. 🧵

Our friend underwent a full mastectomy and Chemo followed by radio therapy. She’s just posted this (publicly) on FB. This is why people go bankrupt in The US and thus is what the likes of Farage want in the UK.

Medical bill for drugs in the US

Just got my new cancer fighting drug today, Verzenio 150mg. A drug which I will take for the next 5 years
I’m shocked and a little miffed at the price, it’s so large it doesn’t even fit in the column.
$16,433.64 for 28 days billed by Eli Lilly to Kaiser.
13 prescriptions a year
$16,433.64 x 13 =$213,637.32 annually
$213,647.32 x5 years treatment plan=
$1,068,236.60 total cost
Stunning! And not in a good way.

A walk in the sunshine on Lindisfarne Holy Island from our base at Belvue 55.67308° N, 1.80097° W 8500 steps 3.6 miles.

A blue sky with fluffy white clouds and a view across a fields and a shimmering sea to St Cuthbert’s Island, Northumberland.

A selfie myself, my Wife Julia and a friend David with Lindisfarne castle in the background.

A signpost with a cloudless bluesy backdrop pointing out the English coast path and Byway on Lindisfarn Holy Island.

A wooden fence stretches into the distance, with rolling fields and a lookout tower on a hillock in the distance.
