There is something to be said for the senior years - the real “Fuck you” generation - the masks are dropped and nothing needs to be proved.
The site of seniors taking a stand outside Gloucester Cathedral yesterday in defence of youth being proscribed by the government is clear evidence of this.

There is something to be said for the vividness, the richness, the rawness of youth when every moment is a moment of discovery.
There is something to be said for middle age, where calm contemplation and consideration gives space for creative thinking.

I has the best night ever on Monday with the "Antifa Hooligans" themselves - Los Fastidios at my wonderful local pub in Stroud, the Prince Albert.
Just the best.

I've just watched Empire Strikes Back again for the first time in a very long time and I'm astonished at just how well made and satisfying a film it.
The production design, the art direction and oh my god the lighting direction is phenomenal.

What's wrong with this picture? Why are two of the most despicable figures in recent history - men that trigger visceral disgust in many people - placed directly behind @zackpolanski.bsky.social when the rest of the backdrop is fairly anodyne?

One photo is all I need to share from yesterday's demo in London.
200,000 of us gathered from all across the country (including at least 50 people from Stroud) to challenge our Government's continued complicity in an ongoing genocide.

We took a stand today in Gloucester to day that refugees are welcome here.
350 of us gathered to protect the Gloucester Ibis hotel with our bodies from a Far Right protest.
Inside the hotel were refugees and asylum seekers fleeing from conflict. Not 'migrants', not 'illegals', just people.
