"One of the wonderful things about Iftars is they always tended to invite people who were not Muslims: they were cross-faith events. I personally felt the more they were held in public places - Villa Park, Edgbaston, the city centre, a way of sharing .. under British values" - Sir Andy Street
I shall no longer be drawing my bedcurtains, lest the sparks which my mobile phone is liable to emit at petrol stations should cause a conflagration. I shall pull my nightcap about my ears and ask the servants to bank the fire well.

YouTube (Google) is no better. I complained about an advert for an electric heater that claimed 300% efficiency. Not upheld.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.
Why stop at the decalogue? Leviticus 19:34 should be next. And will older children have Matthew 5:21-22 on the wall too? 'Thou shalt not kill' is a bit unambitious without it.

Pretty poor that Parliament couldn't have clarified its own definition in the Equality Act 2010, at some point in the intervening decade and a half. Many people will assume that some kind of value judgment is being made here, not merely statutory interpretation. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Writing about Appleby Fair today. I want people to understand the extent of the prejudice that the Gypsy and Traveller communities still face. I'm struggling with the brutality of some of it, even just secondhand through the page. Racism is not ok, not against anyone. Ever.
Good to see us on the platform at the National Society's conference - and an Anti Racist Cumbria hoodie courtesy of the Director of Education.

A real question of sovereignty to be protected, for a change.
Prem Sikka@premnsikka.bsky.social · 2y agoZuckerberg urges Trump to stop the EU from fining US tech companies. Billionaire wants to spread misinformation, harm with no responsibility. How long before US companies want immunities for tax abuse, money laundering? Other countries must protect their citizens. www.politico.eu/article/zuck...

In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.) The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.
For light relief from politics, the environment and other important things, I resolve to seize every opportunity to repost pictures of Land Rovers, especially half-baked conversions from yesteryear.
Cargo Bike Ben@cargobikeben.bsky.social · 2y agoDon’t ever tell me we have to design our towns and cities for fire engines when in the 70s, they designed a tiny fire engine for the first US-style indoor mall in the UK.
