Then they came for the talk show hosts and I was like yeah whatever... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

They have come for the talk show hosts – and that’s actually bad

Is simply describing reality an act of insurrection now?

I love London so much. So much.

Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world?

Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

In London, hate will never win.

Exeter Sound Walks
I’m thinking of leading Sound Walks in Exeter every couple of months from October.
Listening together through the seasons is intriguing and revealing. I love it.
If this appeals to you, please send me a sentence of support. This will help me raise some funds for the series.

If you can watch this and then think ‘I won’t share because that might be putting myself on the line’ then you know what you’d have done if you were in Germany when your Jewish neighbours were being loaded into to cattle trucks. Nothing. Please share - it’s our ‘I’m Spartacus moments

Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone.

It gets worse - apparently some people have been adding comments like this when explaining their reason for proposing #StormBP, #StormEquinor, #StormExxon, #StormShell and #StormBigOil on this Met Office form: www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...

Screenshot from form on Met Office website. A box headed "Reason for name choice(s) (optional) has been filled out: "In recognition of the outstanding contribution made by these fossil fuel giants to the extreme weather we're seeing as a result of climate change, with storms, floods and heat waves devastating communities across the world."

So the UK Met Office is inviting people to suggest up to 5 names for storms.

And apparently lots of people have been suggesting "Storm Bigoil", along with BP, Equinor, Exxon & Shell...

This is obviously appalling & definitely not to be emulated via this link: www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...
