I am a Northerner; Kingdom of Northumbria (now England). I honour my ancestors; Celt and Norse. I can teach you nothing; I can only hope to make you think. There are things I believe but there is nothing I can know.

There's a demarcation @ 54+? I'm older, not Scottish & have faith in #Scotland's #Independence. I accept, back in, say, the 70s/80s it would have probably been a non-starter but today is a VERY different world. Scots will make Independence work: 1 - Because they're Scots 2 - Because they're Scots

#Labour #Burnham another corporate #dog in Downing Street. Like most politicians, Burnham's a #pernicious bought-&-paid-for #puppet. Attacking pensioners, despite having paid for their #pensions all their working lives & seeing it eroded by rampant inflation. www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

Because politicians get 'donations' from lobbyists who, out of the goodness of their hearts, don't expect a damn thing in return. Politics is corrupt, which results in an unavoidable conclusion about politicians.

It was interesting to hear Andy Burnham from Liverpool tell us all that Scotland should stay in the union (or rather, shouldn’t be allowed to leave), but it’s the majority support for independence in Scotland that matter 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

The narrative, just a few years ago, that promoted the sentiment 'If you don't have the vaxx we'll remove your human rights', was supported by Rage Against The Machine. Not so much rage and not against the machine.

Oh, fuck off, #EdMiliband. The #PalestineAction ban was absolutely intended to criminalise opponents of the British government's support for the #genocide in #Palestine, "grannies" or otherwise.

Live facial recognition. A waste of time. Waste of money. And, crucially, lays waste to our rights. For the supposed golden goose of digital policing to spit out one (false positive) match is an indictment of this invasive tech. Tech and surveillance aren't the solution to complex social problems.

Too many people with authority & influence demand again & again the Palestinians do this & that. The Palestinians are an occupied people. How abt starting with the Israelis commiting to ending occupation? That Israel recognise Palestine's right to exist? Israel are the oppressors.

This striking pre-Columbian greenstone masterwork depicts an Olmec shaman in mid-transformation, adopting the powerful facial features of a sacred were-jaguar. Originating from archaeological sites in the Gulf Coast region of Veracruz state, it was crafted between 900 BCE and 600 BCE.

Ha! In a round about way this reminds me of one of the dogs in my family who have taught me my place. When he isn't listening to me, or deliberately turns the other way, I shout "Hey! Cloth ears! Are you listening, lad?!" Next, he has that look. You know the one, dismissive overwrought tedium.

I grew up with the bands of the 60s & 70s. Many were still playing into my 60s. What a time to grow up, what a blessing. When rock was new, my Dad said "It'll never last, lad." Isn't that right Dad? (any strange sounds or your door suddenly opens, that's my Dad).

The rich would prefer you to believe that the "free market" is subject to the immutable law of supply and demand. But for years, the wealthy and powerful have manipulated the market for their own gain. There is nothing “free” about it. Watch.
