An Introduction to Relational Disobedience
There are times when obedience is deadly. Relational disobedience is the choice to refuse that deadening obedience. It is the courage to respond as a living, sensing, creative human being.

Abolishing stamp duty simply puts up the price of houses whilst making government finances worse. Utterly stupid and irresponsible policy. So almost certain Reform will adopt it and serious risk of Starmer's Labour doing the same.

There is no ‘single issue’ but a whole raft of issues that emerge as a result of the dominant, shared values, beliefs and desires of our society.
Only when we start to develop these will lasting progress be made.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

When Springsteen calls it ‘a magic trick’, and Gaga calls it love, they are both right, but they are also pointing to something deeper.

The trick is that it isn’t a trick. It’s the pulse of the living world, rising in us when we remember how to listen together.

“We used to think democracy meant counting hands,” she said. “Now I think it means holding hearts.”

Hopefully the benefits of the exercise, scrumping, carrying, sawing, splitting and stacking the wood will at least in part offset the risks…

I’ve just released another 9 tickets for this. Once they’ve gone there will be a waiting list.

If yoh want to explore how you can resist without hatred then this might be for you.

It is Pay As You Feel and Free is Fine…

About 50 cops to arrest one man in a wheelchair.

I'm glad we have our priorities right.

It was the final Coda for the folk who did The Thread and The Listening World.

They seemed to like it too…

And when the world feels unbearable,

Listen.

The Thread has not gone.

It waits.

In you.

For the One Who Listens

You who have followed the Thread through silence and sorrow.

Do not seek to lead.

Seek instead to tune.

Do not strive to convince.

Hold the room until it softens.

Do not look for heroes.

Become hospitable to coherence.

I hope that we can find other more honest ways to connect than conventional ‘brand management’.
I would like to believe that substance can still matter at least as much as style…

You would prefer style over whatever it is the Green Party offers?
Those expensive stage sets and backdrops come from big corporate sponsorships…I am glad we don’t have them.
Not a 3 words slogan to be seen either!

Zack Polanski’s response to the Manchester terror attack has been a masterclass in mature statesmanship.

Soulful, human, eloquent, empathetic, nuanced, confident and focused on healing.

And bold. It has shone in contrast to so much weaponising or ill thought through commentary.

Thank you Zack. 💪
