So much 🤪 in the Express words, right… Which “tolerant society” is this of which they speak..? … and who the heck dreams up “putin’s communists”…

I'm never actually going to need to write another comment piece again am I?

The right wing shit rags are just going to keep recruiting for us.

Stick a note under your door with a request for “too late for love”… or “bringin on the heartbreak”… thanks… keep on rocking…

Back in the hotel, serenading the neighbors with some good old-fashioned rock & roll. What would you do if you heard this coming down the halls of your hotel room?

Just seeing a few clips from the Tory Party conference… rhetoric seems somewhat deluded… still banging same drums as far as I can see… nothing new… nothing modern… leaving the door wide open for Reform…

Pretty certain I read Micky Dolentz explaining all this a few months ago… might have been on the vintage LA feeds…

Been listening to “Spellbound” a lot recently… Was a big fan of “The Cage” at the time… Letter from LA etc… but it’s Spellbound I tend to go to now… That and the White Spirit album are my NE NWOBHM roots…

Reminds me of somebody a couple of years ago telling me that immigrants were catching and eating the Swans of Hemlington Lake… Listen, mate, says I… it’s lies, those Swans are way too hard to be duped like that… plus, they’re not anyway…

Anon Opin @anonopin.bsky.social · 6d

I'm not one to harken back to the good old days but if we could still put people in Bedlam for having hysterics every week over things that aren't true - like eating swans - our lives would be so much more peaceful.

I’ve not really noticed any change.. but then I don’t spend much time on any social media snd tend to read through in batches…

Keir Starmer to announce plans for digital ID scheme

L i s t e r (David) @dlisterphoto.bsky.social · 13d

Whilst I think there might be a debate to be had… in particular about privacy, rights to a private life, to go about lawful business without challenge/impediment, to walk around without carrying a wallet, phone etc etc etc etc… This is massive to put in without any manifesto mandate…

Big Brother

L i s t e r (David) @dlisterphoto.bsky.social · 13d

Well, this wasn’t in the manifesto, was it.

Setting aside rights to privacy and the right to walk around without carrying anything (let alone something with a digital ID), given the myriad of problems we are facing, this solves nothing.

So what is the agenda then??

The prime minister believes a new scheme would help crack down on illegal working in the UK.

Corbyn allies disappointed at row with Sultana over Your Party

Labour talking on radio earlier about trying to build up industry and manufacturing, citing defence and housing as the key requirements… Which sounds good, right…

Now, tell me again how we fund this money-go-round without raising taxation..?

Kickstarter idea…

Personal GPS/Cell/wifi signal blocker to completely disable function-ability of anybody’s spy specs and/or alexa/siri type functions within 500 metres… has a “wipe cache” function to clear out all cached data…

(Will actually use money to buy a remote island and live there)

Might put the old (green) garden bin by the front door… visitors can then safely leave their meta spy specs and AI devices in there, and not bring them into my space… recycling bins… how efficient… 🤣🤣

L i s t e r (David) @dlisterphoto.bsky.social · 20d

Next year, apparently, I will have 5 different bins at the house… food, general waste, recycling, paper/cardboard and garden waste… I have an old garden one as well, that the council forgot to collect… Not sure I’ll actually need the garden one, as it’ll be full of bins…

If Reform were in government, how would they handle this..?

Seems that they get a lot of coverage sometimes, always seemingly with an opinion, but seem to be somewhat shy of one here..? No..??
