I'm so glad that the NHS is fixed, the cost of living crisis is over, and unemployment is a thing of the past, now that people have climbed up lampposts and hung some cheap flags.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Something lovely for you today, @davidjesudason.bsky.social on The Hope in Carshalton, a pub, a community, and a bohemian underbelly. Also, please enjoy the lovely photography by our own @lilywaite.bsky.social

The Best Days of our Lives — The Hope, Carshalton — Pellicle

It’s at least 20 minutes before opening time and a queue has already formed outside The Hope. Although an occasional red London bus zooms past, this isn’t a bustling high street. Here, at the Sutton/S...

Lovely words celebrating a Brewery that deserves to be celebrated!

Really wish I was at The Bull and Bladder at this moment in time.

Please read my celebration of Batham's which I hope forces the OED to now include the word 'Bathamcana'

What beer can learn from Batham’s

It was a mid-week lunchtime and I had travelled 150 miles, traversing city, town and country to reach my destination. But, boy, was this a destination...

The problems in our society are not caused by migrants or refugees.

They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires.

If the government wanted to improve people’s lives, it would tax the rich and build an economy that works for us all.

I feel like the world would be a better place if we all paid more attention to Sly and the Family Stone lyrics.

It would take me as long to get to the Bull and Bladder from Walsall, relying on West Midlands transport. Worth it though of course.

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:
