These are Zack’s last days of campaigning. Could you help him? It’s so close. If Labour win it’s pointless, there is no appetite to challenge the Labour gov. If Zack wins he will be fighting for his constituency and all of us. 100% guaranteed. For the planet, for a wealth tax and for our NHS. 🇵🇸💚💪

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

3/3 I knew exactly how to capture this fantasy. It needed the “8mm App” treatment (a Super 8 emulator). A mid 1960s Kodak home movie of a holiday gallery visit is just what Poli, father and son, deserve: a C21 simulacrum of a 1960s viewing of Tuscan Baroque fantasy. Baudrillard: eat your heart out!

1/3 What’s good about French provincial Musées des Beaux-Arts, is they often contain collections of very obscure artists. Nancy holds a major collections of works by Gherardo Poli (1674–1739) & his son Giuseppe Poli (1714–1740). Architectural Fantasy in Ruins with Bellerophon Striking the Chimera.

Outstandingly dishonest even by Nigel Farage's standards. Farage knows that the men arrested at Fairford would not have been released if they were still suspected to be terrorists. He's stirring up fear, hatred & resentment against both immigrants & the police. Pure malice.
