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 · 2d

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

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

Miss Charles V @misscharlesv.bsky.social · 1d

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.

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 · 2d

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 · 4d

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 · 5d

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

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation

For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking consequences. They’ve hacked phones, listened to ...

I love the men in my life because they are the best examples of what being a decent person is but there is a man problem and men need to fix it .

Another day to remind ourselves that the common denominator in people who murder and think they are justified in hurting other people is that they are nearly always men. Women often endure great trauma and feel great passion for the things but find it possible to not turn that into murder and mayhem

This is appalling . If they think we can protect children on the cheap at a time when we are facing huge challenges around mental health , domestic abuse and child exploitation they are sadly and dangerously mistaken #socialwork #childprotection #uklabourparty

Miss Charles V @misscharlesv.bsky.social · 7d

A grim read , particularly as these horrors will have been involved with young people and parents I work with @metpolice.bsky.social how can I feel they will be safe and that justice will be served ? It’s horrific.

Miss Charles V @misscharlesv.bsky.social · 7d

Emma Watson is a wonderful principled caring woman who uses her platform to support those who are marginalised , Vine is an embarrassment to women like me of the same age , spouting attention seeking hateful nonsense rather than doing something helpful for the world ( see also Rowling pictured )

The people advising Labour might as well be being paid by Reform .

Miss Charles V @misscharlesv.bsky.social · 8d

They seem under the misapprehension that parroting right wing bigotry will gain them voters but it won’t . They will lose their core supporter base and reform supporters won’t ever vote labour . If they think they can be complacent and that we will come running back they are sadly mistaken.
