Serious question to Labour strategic people: why doesn't Starmer become an ambassador for Europe or the USA and let the UK leadership go up for competition?
I know people keep saying this but itโs hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, Iโm on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. Itโs wild. Absolutely wild.
Finally #R4Today programme talking about social media and digital devices as a societal conversation! Under-16 ban rapidly becoming mainstream 'common sense' without any intelligent challenge or realism.
It's really hard to know what's satire any more isn't it.
Cows are just giant, sweet grass puppies with big hearts who deserve snuggles, love, and all the treats. ๐ฎ๐

Occasionally I come across an article in the foreign press thatโs strikes me as so important that I want to share it with you. The following was originally written by an Israeli professor of law named Orit Kamir. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/a-betrayal-of-the-victims-of-the
Kneecap at Glastonbury don't RT they are supposed to be terrorists or something.
Stellar work, comrades! ๐
Respect and solidarity to the people at #Glasto. I was *wiped out* by last night. The kids spent the weekend, by turns, zonked flat out on sofas with the suffering cat or tantrumy, crazed, risk-taking demons. Our safest place right now is next to the open fridge door. British heatwaves, amiright?

Reacting to an interview question of whether this is the start of an era of repression: โToday is the beginning of the wave of hope.โ
Event organizers have put out a call for international solidarity to peacefully support the local community. Safety comes from numbers, and the more international people who attend, the more work it will take to use automated surveillance to suppress expression.
Budapest Pride thread, from the ground
Signposts and weathervanes popped into my mind for some reason.

(3) still thinking the Labour leadership's backbone needs to be a bit stronger. But then I guess proscribing Kneecap is all part of the nostalgic times we live in.
Oh I have to hunt around Tik Tok to hear the Kneecap set do I? Can live with that, we vacarious Glastoers have it a bit easy at time.
FWIW, I'm
(1) really glad Glasto didn't capitulate to pressure
(2) not angry with the BBC, I'd rather have them as they are than not at all

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.
It would seem an entire field who planned to meet up in the year 2000 are doing it 25 years later KG

... at least after one news-related thought:
Happy to see promises of a rethink by Labour leadership on the benefits proposals. Also that my MP David Williams was amongst the signatories to the amendment. Don't tend to think of him as the rebellious sort but he has a wealth of relevant experience.
Vacarious #Glasto in full swing thanks to @bbc6music.bsky.social & @secretglasto.bsky.social โค๏ธ
Is it OK to now avoid any news radio or updates till Monday?
Making trousers or skirts without pockets should be a crime.
Who's with me?
Owl core
But also...
Have I actually heard right: we can't afford to make sure all people and families can live with dignity, but we can buy more big fireworks for powerful men to play with?
When are we marching?
Back on here after a hiatus, mainly to enjoy Glasto vacariously (sp?). Been twice and it only ever rained for me so best I stay at home. #cursed @bbc6music.bsky.social @secretglasto.bsky.social
