My first morning in the Omaze house. I didn’t sleep. I could hear crying from behind the door I’m not allowed to open.The only thing to eat is frozen prawns. I went for a wander round the 4 acre garden and found a box of VHS tapes marked ‘For the next one’. I’m sure it’s fine. I’m sure it’s all fine
'Some of Patriot Platform's disruptive, eye-catching tactics seem to have been borrowed from environmental groups like Just Stop Oil.' Oh? Not my first thought regarding the male-only black-clad balaclaved anti-migrant thugs. Interesting interpretation.

I was astounded that this morning BBC radio news gave air time to one of last night's protesters pronouncing that he knew these people had their human rights but we could get around them. This was broadcast without further comment. WTF, @bbcnews.bsky.social ?
This "boxing clever" comment could be read as 1. Its a non-violent direct action movement [??? Eg: violence] 2. Its not the right TIME to *create* a violent movement NOW [? Maybe] 3. Not the right TIME to *acknowledge* NOW that this direct action "army" will prepare for violence too. [Probable]

What an embarrassment Chris Mason is, @bbcnews.bsky.social ! To hear him musing whether the fallout from the sting operation screened by @channel4news.bsky.social was *'just growing pains'* or whether it might be an ethics issue, although Farage was denying it...Weak? Or worse?
Scenes like this did a lot of damage to Mosley and the BUF in the 1930s. Though that relied on Conservative papers reporting them.

Ten years ago, ‘You Took the Last Bus Home’ was published. It was my first collection of poetry and incredibly, it’s still going strong. To celebrate the anniversary, I thought I’d share a poem from it every day this month, starting with the title poem.

This frontispiece in my book just made me laugh a lot. Is this Buddhist reincarnation, or some other form of afterlife?
This is the story behind Dolly Parton's hit song "9 to 5". In the 1970s women in office jobs faced discrimination. They were paid less, passed over for promotions and experienced sexual harassment. The 9 to 5 movement was established to fight for better treatment of working women.
Here's Jason Arday's death - and the media's role in it - trending on social media, again. And yet it's *nowhere* in the mainstream media today. It's "fallen" out of the news cycle in the same way that Russian scientists "fall" out of windows. 🔗
One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26
