Sometimes I go to Wolves (yeah not much fun right now) and I look around, a sea of bald heads, or really short hair, or women with longer hair and I wonder if I’m the only man in the North Bank with long hair, weird it is 😆🤣

Not arsed with regrets myself but couldn’t help but wonder “what if I’d read The Dispossessed at a younger age?”, pointless thought experiments aside what an amazing read 🖤
Would you really like to live in a society where you have no responsibility and no freedom, no choice, only the false option of obedience to the law, or disobedience followed by punishment? Would you really want to go live in a prison?

One of the best bits of my job @thequietus.com is asking @danieldylanwray.bsky.social to write about Sheffield & its music & this is going to be such a brilliant book on a fertile city (arguably one under-celebrated compared to certain places across the Pennines that never shut up about themselves)
This - finally - is the definitive musical history Sheffield so richly deserves.
GROOVY, LAIDBACK AND NASTY is @danieldylanwray.bsky.social's authoritative and hugely entertaining story of the city, told through its independent artists, scenes and spirit.

This was a fascinating find amongst old family photos, a milk token book and vitamin token book.
Universal welfare meant something very different to the way it's been distorted since the early 60s. Fair to say this fussy child was fairly unimpressed by orange juice and only tried castor oil once 😆

Over 70% of them are hosted by low- and middle-income countries.
🇬🇧 548k refugees

It is not refugees who tear our country apart, it is the mainstreaming of far right policies. And that’s a risk to all of us.

#asylum #Mahmood
🧵
![Dear [my MP’s name],
As the Home Secretary prepares to announce sweeping changes to the UK’s asylum system, I see it as both my duty as a citizen and responsibility as a migration expert to do all I can to urge policymakers to oppose the proposals—not only for what they will do to refugees, though that is the first concern, but also for what they will mean for all of us and the future society we live in.
That is why I am writing to you as my MP. This letter explains why I consider the need to oppose the Home Secretary’s proposals urgent and, at the most fundamental level, in the national and your constituents’ interest.
I was born in Germany, a country whose history taught me how quickly societies can go down dark paths; how quickly our leaders can fail in the choices they make. But the history of the displacement of people that the Nazi regime was responsible for also shaped my understanding of why refugee movements occur—and why our response to any of them can never compromise what are, and must always be, universal human rights.
Which is why what is happening in the UK now is so deeply alarming.
A manufactured crisis
As of June 2025, there were 42.5 million refugees globally. Over 70% of them are hosted by low- and middle-income countries; most of them immediate neighbours. Overall, five countries—Colombia, Germany, Türkiye, Iran and Uganda—host a third of the total number of refugees; Germany is the main host in the EU, hosting 2.7 million.
The UK hosts 548,000 refugees; that is 0.78% of the UK population. About 110,000 people are in receipt of asylum support; that is 0.15% of the UK population.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bru4h6s37w4hfmwhetu7veye/bafkreidmewc5timbx7nh57qyq7lm7gmhvclzidmloqhwgckpnegnddoicq@jpeg)

A big old 👍 from me for Casino - the frenetic pace tears along at the start then the big slowdown as everything begins to crumble - but Gangs of New York left me undecided, again, there’s a great film in there somewhere but the characters loom much larger than the overall film?

I've been enjoying Mr. Scorsese so much, especially the first and the Goodfellas episode but had to fast forward past films I want rewatch for all of the spoilers. Fascinating to see the relationship between the editors and some of my favourite filmmakers. Rewatched Casino last night too 👌

If you chopped a member of Reform in half it’d say RACIST all the way through like a stick of Blackpool rock, fact!
