One of the cooler moments of my life was being in the audience for this and accidentally meeting him coming out of the studio whilst I was having a smoke on a rainy New York street .

Reminds me of this excellent sign that I saw at the Tubman African American Museum in Macon, Georgia.

Piano, which once belonged to Little Richard, with a sign on it saying "Do not attempt to play Little Richard's piano. He will know."

The very patriotic @ukconservatives.bsky.social 🤪

Neil Mackay @neilmackay.bsky.social · 6d

You know what would be a real sign of patriotism? Learning to spell the word ‘Britain’

Miss Charles V @misscharlesv.bsky.social · 5d

I imagine you would have no problem only seeing white faces @robertjenrickmp.bsky.social @ukconservatives.bsky.social

Miss Charles V @misscharlesv.bsky.social · 5d

Also @ukconservatives.bsky.social @robertjenrickmp.bsky.social many communities have great poverty levels and therefore limited access to housing and also poor quality housing . This leads to areas of greater deprivation and fewer resources. Those communities feel abandoned and uncared for.

Miss Charles V @misscharlesv.bsky.social · 5d

To
@ukconservatives.bsky.social @robertjenrickmp.bsky.social the outright agenda of racism and Islamophobia drive a wedge between people , so your party is actively working against integration and community cohesion #news #uk

My patience runs thin for artists who “don’t want to comment” on politics or take a stand. Life is politics and now it’s time to pick the side of decency, compassion , democracy, freedom from
oppression, anti -genocide. Use your platform it’s a privilege. #music #arts

Miss Charles V @misscharlesv.bsky.social · 6d

Time for @uklabour.bsky.social to get rid of this leadership who are no different to other right wing parties, appealing to the most base hateful rhetoric, refusing to accept the genocide in Gaza , criminalising peaceful protesters and threatening our democracy and right to protest. Enough is enough

Freedom is just another name for “a gap in the law”.

Paul Brand @paulbrand.bsky.social · 7d

Home Secretary tells Sky News that “there is a gap in the law” when it comes to frequent, repeated protests on the same issue. Hence she will be giving police greater powers to move them to another location or time.

Typical Labour bring in a disproportionate stupid law and when people protest it, make the protest illegal.

Guardian front page , photo of a group of cops in hi viz and wearing blue surgical gloves somewhere in central London. Headline reads “police to get new power to crack down repeated protests, says Home Secretary.

The gov need to stop making the #metpolice arrest old people and instead sort their own massive problems out and actually do their job properly.The panorama doc plus my daily experience of child and domestic abuse not being investigated because it’s too hard to get a conviction. What are they for ?

Miss Charles V @misscharlesv.bsky.social · 9d

They never do . No accountability whatsoever . Rotten to the core .
