UK in the 1970's. Offcuts of wallpaper was the chosen material to cover your book. You should have seen the horrors that people decorated their rooms with.

Even if there is another by-election, I seriously doubt the possibility of Reform voters actually watching any news on this subject or understanding the consequences... Hasn't stopped them voting for him up to now🤷

Starmer and Miliband both drove for net zero and didn't want more drilling in the north sea. People left Labour for Greens while this was policy. I feel the exodus was more due to people's feelings on Labour's reaction to Gaza than anything else.

Tories will immediately claim credit for that decision as they have championed this, as will Trump. Is this just to keep Unions on board with the party and to cement his position with them ?

Rise in minimum wage, workers rights Bill, free Breakfast clubs in primary schools, renters rights improved , 2 child cap abolished, rise in NHS funding, drive to achieve net zero. Etc... yes they also made big mistakes but I personally think what they have done for workers is being ignored.

Well, after the local election results we can all say goodbye to a closer relationship with Europe. Opinion polls may say people now don't want Brexit, but strong support for Reform is a death nail for any chance of either realignment or rejoining of the EU for the foreseeable future. ☹️ #Brexit

A lawyer condemning an action without proven evidence will never happen. Even more so from a lawyer who is also the PM. But yeah, we all think it was insider trading. Easier for us to say so than him.

Nigel @smarty360.bsky.social · 11/03/2026
The EU would require evidence of a stable, long-term British consensus to rejoin to avoid future "U-turns". Reform voicing continual support of crappy Brexit and also leading UK polling we probably won't even pass the Copenhagen Criteria ( requirements for EU entry).

said I believe the reason Gov reacted as it did was not because it was a painting, but jets on an operational military base. That was the difference to them. The embarrassment of how they gained entry and damage caused to planes. Over reaction by Gov .Yes, but you could see harsh response coming.

Nigel @smarty360.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
Yes, there are different degrees and interpretation of what violence is, but that can vary to the individual. However there is legal definition which will be hard to argue in court, no matter the right of the action.

Nigel @smarty360.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
If the aim is to cause damage to a structure, item etc What's the difference. It's the intent. If you're saying non violent action includes damage/destruction of property I have to disagree. Definition of Violence is use of physical force, throwing paint, throw brick ,smash with hammer or burning

Much appreciated. Over 30 years in a union makes me very careful on what I specifically put down and how it's worded. However I should have appreciated more the sensitive nature of the original post and perhaps not the time to put a legal question on why law was used in that way. All the best.

Nigel @smarty360.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
Can't dispute too much of that and an honest , sincere and open response of yours to a post on Why the Gov could have reacted the way it had. 👍.. But still don't appreciate being called a cowardly wormbrain from a Non family member.

Nigel @smarty360.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
So by that calculation burning a place of worship down would be fine as long as there was no one hurt? Just damage to property and no human injury.

Sorry, thought I posted Why I think the Gov prescribed Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. Didn't think I mentioned if I agreed with it, if I support it, if peaceful protestors subsequently should be arrested because of those actions.That just seemed to be presumed because ????

I think the difference would be those laws are set for an individuals actions. Same actions done on behalf of an organisation/political body doing the same ? Not sure?

Nigel @smarty360.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
All for peaceful protest, but breaking onto a RAF base and damaging military planes is not the same as throwing custard over some art work. There was always going to be severe repercussions to anyone involved.

So according to Farage Starmer showed a grave error of judgement with Mandelson.. But I dont think Starmer will be seen in a picture with Epstein 🤔

We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️ youtu.be/BRHxXHZmVAM

Once upon a time there lived a funny little man called Trumpy Wumpy. He had straw hair, orange skin & smelled horrible. But he could do magic! He grew back his ear once & he had a strange power called Redaction which made things he didn’t like disappear. He was jolly nasty…
