Come & see us if you're anywhere near Ellesmere Port or Boseley in Cheshire(?) we're playing there on 16th & 17th October. You'll love our music if you appreciate a blend of cultures and the soothing sounds of the Celticharp and African Kora. And please re-post to help spread the word! 🙏

I'd also like to send a reminder to the mayor + compliant corporation of my own cool little hometown... wtf?

Young lives cut short on an unimaginable scale: the 18,457 children on Gaza’s list of war dead

Every name on a list compiled by health authorities in Gaza of the child victims of Israel’s offensive

Meanwhile in Red Bank NJ; This evening, the mayor+council will be engaging - cost $35k - their usual New Yawk BFJ pals ("Master Plan", Station Area Redevelopment, etc) to smooth the way for the developer. Resolution 25-209 to be rubber-stamped at this evening's meeting:

Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew?
'Cause working for the clampdown
They put up a poster saying we earn more than you
When we're working for the clampdown
We will teach our twisted speech
To the young believers
We will train our blue-eyed men
To be young believers

What are we going to do now?

Clampdown
Song by The Clash:

The kingdom is ransacked, the jewels all taken back and the chopper descends
They're hidden in the back, with a message on a half-baked tape with the spool going round
Saying I'm back here in this place and I could cry and there's smoke you could click on
What are we going to do now?
Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew?
'Cause working for the clampdown
They put up a poster saying we earn more than you
When we're working for the clampdown
We will teach our twisted speech
To the young believers
We will train our blue-eyed men
To be young believers
The judge said five to ten but I say double that again
I'm not working for the clampdown
No man born with a living soul
Can be working for the clampdown
Kick over the wall 'cause government's to fall
How can you refuse it?
Let fury have the hour, anger can be power
Do you know that you can use it?
The voices in your head are calling
Stop wasting your time, there's nothing coming
Only a fool would think someone could save you
The men at the factory are old and cunning
You don't owe nothing, so boy, get running
It's the best years of your life they want to steal
But you grow up and you calm down
And you're working for the clampdown
You start wearing the blue and brown
And you're working for the clampdown
So you got someone to boss around
It makes you feel big now
You drift until you brutalize
Doesn't make you first kill now
In these days of evil presidentes
Working for the clampdown
But lately one or two has fully paid their due
For working for the clampdown
Hah, get along, get along
Working for the clampdown
Hah, get along, get along
Working for the clampdown
Yeah, I'm working hard in Harrisburg
Working hard in Petersburg
Working for the clampdown
Working for the clampdown
Hah, get along, get along
Begging to be melted down
Get along, get along
Work
Work
Work
And I give away no secrets
Work
Work
More work
More work
Work
Work
Work
Work

Okay... I thought this was interesting...

Birds’ nests, beehives and balloons: new tech tackles old hazards on the wires that run Sydney’s rail network

The city was brought to a standstill in May when an overhead wire snapped. Now inspection by binoculars is about to be replaced by a laser system as the government invests millions in maintenance

Once got caught on that causeway. The water rose about a foot while we were crossing and dinghys were sailing around us...

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester
