I miss Ben Zephaniah. He would have something heart-rendingly powerful to say about the times we’re living in

Zephaniah’s poem No Problem

“No Problem
1 am not de problem But I bear de brunt
Of silly playground taunts
An racist stunts,
1 am not de problem I am a born academic
But dey got me on de run Now I am branded athletic,
1 am not de problem If yu give I a chance
I can teach yu of Timbuktu I can do more dan dance,
I am not de problem I greet yu wid a smile Yu put me in a pigeon hole But I am versatile.
These conditions may affect me
As I get older,
An 1 am positively sure
I hav no chips on me shoulders,
Black is not de problem
Mother country get it right, An juss fe de record,
Sum of me best friends are white.”

As has become traditional on polling day, here's my poem in the style of Philip Larkin on the small joys of UK democracy (and I know, I know, he might well have voted Reform)

The Polling Stations
'Yes, I suppose I ought to vote,'
I said, and at the local hall,
Manned by a woman in a coat,
Stub-scrawled my paper for us all.

The trestle tables, wooden booth,
And metal box to 'have your say'
In favour of some quarter-truth...
And yet it seemed a festive day.

Tomorrow, when the worded boards
Embarrass us like middle names,
The polling stations, and the wards,
Will fade away like playground games.

Characteristics that define our hyper-real age; Neo-tribalism, emotive reasoning, chronic cognitive biases, unearned self-righteousness, hedonistic presentism, rapid onset amnesia, black & white thinking, conspiratorially flavored assumptions, addiction to hyper-stimulation, bad attitudes.

@badlyparkedox.bsky.social Parked right across the pavement at a pedestrian crossing. Four fit young men unloading gear(?) for a gig. There was space to park around the corner and they were fit enough to carry it. There for ten minutes.

When traffic flow is more or less continuous, the same number of drivers are going to wait briefly when the lights change. So why not have lights change immediately? Why does it matter which specific drivers are the ones waiting?

@badlyparkedox.bsky.social Second attempt to post. This is a regular visitor to Bartlemas Rd. Blocking wheelchairs but also always has a brick under the front wheel so may have a defective parking brake.

Danger from older drivers is a massive problem. Driving is not a human right. There should be basic mandatory re-tests at age 76 & every year from age 80. If this disqualified many people from driving that might help concentrate minds on the need for alternatives. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
