Rest in Peace to my mum who died today - a picture from a visit to London Town, Trafalgar Square about 1969. A very glamorous lady. (I’m on the left, the blonde hair changed to a more regular brown soon after). We will miss you.

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...
![[Scene is the entrance cabin to a NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AND GARDENS]
1
NATIONAL TRUST EMPLOYEE [inside cabin]:
Hello there
2
[A young family - two parents two kids - have arrived at the front desk].
DAD:
Hi - do you have an activity trail, for the kids?
3
NT EMPLOYEE:
Of course – you’re just in time for the Autumn Gammon Trail!
4
MUM:
That sounds fun, doesn’t it kids?
5
NT EMPLOYEE [handing an activity sheet and pencils to the kids]:
Every autumn, the Reform Trust gammons flock back to the National Trust for the AGM. Just follow the trail round the grounds, and see how many you can spot!
6
NT EMPLOYEE [hearing something in the gardens]:
Listen - that's their call
[Calls emanating from the landscape]:
tut-tut
woke-woke
7
NT EMPLOYEE [showing the family an apparently empty fenced enclosure with some bushes in]:
They are extremely sensitive and fragile...
But you can bring them out of hiding if you put a little sign down mentioning slavery.
8
KIDS [pointing]:
There they are!
[Some little red faced PEOPLE wearing Barbour jackets and gilets emerge cautiously from the bushes. They are creeping towards a TINY SIGN in the middle of the enclosure].
[Little people noises]:
woke-woke
tut-tut
woke-woke
9
[Close-up of the TINY SIGN - we can read that it says]:
Slavery had a bit to do with building this massive house.
[Noises from the little people again as they inspect the tiny sign]:
tut-tut
woke-woke
10
MUM [pointing]:
What's that one doing there?
NT EMPLOYEE:
Oh, that's so sweet…
11
[We see that one of the people is sat on a rock, with a little laptop open on a tree stump, and they are furiously typing away].
NT EMPLOYEE:
I think he's writing a column for the Daily Telegraph…
12
[We see close up to the little person’s screen, it is a word document reading]:
Are National Trust scones secretly WOKE?

I've got lots of things to say about Jeremy Clarkson.
Really not worth it. He knows his game is over and so is resorting to personal attacks.
Piss him off instead and

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.
What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

The control is ending fossil fuel burning, taxing the 0.001% and returning the flow of money to the well being of the 99.999%. This will rebalance the earth and drive populism into the dark ages 3/3

The end game is a population that is utterly reliant upon the benefaction of the 0.001%, and utterly subservient to them for any form of survival. The only recourse is to alter the current hierarchy and for the 99.999% to become politically aware and take some form of control 2/n

My ill-informed take. We are living through the death throes of neo-liberalism driven capitalism. The end point for neoliberal capitalism is a scorched / flooded earth that makes it difficult / impossible to live in for the majority (the 99.999%) 1/n

In any other time in the last 80 years, this cunt would have been fired and rightly excluded for this shit. But it’s a childish spat with the Cheeto twat that grabs the headlines today. Do we have any idea just how far down the hole we’ve gone?

🔥 Well said these MPs.
This government now appears to be deliberately misleading the house on their position on Israel & Gaza.
Everyone write to your MPs and ask where their voice is.
