Has the Green Party moved away from its original driving force of environmental safeguarding in an age of climate change? Seems like it's all very different now. Priorities?

It's always the people that suffer with cuts & everything being expensive. NEVER the wealthy. They just become richer. #Labour could bring in a #WealthTax & properly end the inequality we've all been suffering since #Thatcher. But they won't - they're not on our side. They just pretend to be.

Poets, if they're lucky, end up having signature poems. But they don't choose them for themselves. Instead, certain poems take on lives of their own once they're published. The Last Carry is one such example. When I first posted it here, I didn't have a clue it would reach so many people...

5. After around 30 hours at sea, the dinghy was intercepted by the RNLI and those on board transferred to two lifeboats. Two lifeboat personnel tried to secure the empty dinghy. Thomas yelled abuse and knifed the dinghy to deflate it - with a rescuer still on board.

6. As far as we can see, the rescuer was okay - though this is bordering on attempted murder. RNLI then headed towards the Solent, AIS off and chased by the far-right. Authorities in Portsmouth likely were warned that people would be offloaded and processed at Gosport, so Thomas rallied activists.
