What I love about that six word Hemingway story, "For sale: baby shoes, never worn" is that in those few words we instantly grasp the sadness of what it is trying to tell us: the baby was so freakishly massive when it was born that it could never wear the shoes its parents had bought for it.

If further proof of the non-existence of a benign god were needed then the simultaneous appearance of short trouser weather and nettles is surely it. Jaggy wee bastards.

👀Tommy Robinson’s right hand man Danny ‘Tommo’ Thomas says his new anti-migrant vigilante group exists to protect women and children. So obviously we know what comes next: several of the men he personally “handpicked” have criminal convictions, including for violence against women.

Today is World Refugee Day. Here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’.

Refugees

They have no need of our help
So do not tell me
These haggard faces could belong to you or me
Should life have dealt a different hand
We need to see them for who they really are
Chancers and scroungers
Layabouts and loungers
With bombs up their sleeves
Cut-throats and thieves
They are not
Welcome here
We should make them
Go back to where they came from
They cannot
Share our food
Share our homes
Share our countries
Instead let us
Build a wall to keep them out
It is not okay to say
These are people just like us
A place should only belong to those who are born there
Do not be so stupid to think that
The world can be looked at another way

(now read from bottom to top)

1. Pointing out that the Iranian regime's actions are horrific does not in any way subtract from the horror of the Israeli government's genocide in Gaza, or from other atrocities. There are, unfortunately, plenty here who seem to believe we should be partisan in our denunciations. They are wrong. 🧵

I explain international trade policy for a living which can be nightmarishly complex. Sometimes I spend days agonizing to find a neat way of communicating something my audience finds baffling... ... but at least I'm not the one who has to explain the concept of 'consequences' to Prince Andrew.

Qesser Zuhrah and Amu Gib have been on hunger strike for 46 days. They are at serious risk of death. They are in prison because the UK would prefer to lock up young opponents of mass murder than stop facilitating genocide. The Home Secretary must intervene.

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.

English Roundabouts

They’re making the roundabouts great again
by painting the flag of St George
to keep our circular road systems safe
from the dark, satanic hordes.

What do they want? Patriotic junctions!
When do they want them? Before it’s too late.
Good old-fashioned English roundabouts,
as decreed by Alfred the Great.

Behold the sacred intersection,
this blessed plot, this septic isle.
English roundabouts for English people,
draped in red and white and bile.

St George is cross, as well he may be –
whipped-up hate, he’s seen before.
Give way to the right, the road signs rage,
and the far right most of all.

This needs to get more traction. 💯 percent agree. Please like and especially share. The UK “shouldn’t be talking” of giving Donald Trump another state visit in light of the “unacceptable” scenes in the Oval Office, John Swinney, Scotland's first minister has said.
