This is worth going to.

We saw JC in Chelmsford a couple of days ago and the show is a thought provoking, but very entertaining evening.

The russians kill us every day - not on the battlefield, but in our homes, schools, and hospitals, targeting them with missiles 🚀and Shaheds. They do it because they’re too weak to win in combat. Attacking the defenseless isn’t war - it’s cowardice🐷

Not an #AprilFool — the real fools are the #ClimateChange deniers who are enabling this, and the short-sighted, complacent politicians who prioritise winning the next election over our long-term survival.

No, this isn’t an #AprilFool — once again, 2024 was the warmest year on record since recordkeeping began in 1880. In fact, the last 10 years have all been the warmest on record — we just keep breaking records. 🙁
