YouTube video by The 80s Mixtaper I Completed 80s Music Special: Interview with Justin Lewis.

Hyperaware that I'm doing a lot of me me me at the moment re: #IntoTheGroove, but I recently did the I Completed 80s Music podcast with @80smixtaper.bsky.social Iain, who asked me many good questions about the book. And I answered them, fortunately for both of us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyzc...

I would certainly wait for the next bus if this lot were standing at the bus stop.

An extremely proud day for Hungarians. I just really hope Orbán’s proxies won’t launch a smear campaign, since Krasznahorkai is an outspoken critic of contemporary fascism, far-right politics, and Viktor Orbán himself.

You don’t get to bankroll a genocide…

Embolden and cheer on the perpetrators

…and then call yourself a hero for pulling the plug.

The UAE is an authoritarian autocracy, a petro-state with no income tax for citizens, to bribe them for the lack of democratic voice or free speech

It is 85% migrant, a segregated society with a ban on integration in principle and practice, few rights, equal opportunities, nor voice for incomers

If you repost this repost shamelessly plugging the gig me & Forcione are doing in Brighton then i'll do a random winner pick thing as well & if you win that & if I've been lucky enough to win Kathy Burke's brilliant book I'll lend it to you.

Robert Jenrick names judges he would sack for ‘pro-migrant bias' The shadow justice secretary has accused 'activists' within the judiciary of having links to political causes that compromise their independence

In the current climate of far right hostility, Jenrick is actively inciting violence against these judges with this. Badenoch may have defended his explicit racism yesterday, but this alone should see him lose both his position as shadow justice secretary and the whip immediately.

I was experimenting with new techniques in colour pencil for this drawing, but as it has been popular on social media I am putting it up for sale at a special low price.

We need this in Scotland. It’s not even wishful or fanciful thinking: it’s financially astute. Our creative industries are absolutely vital

Criminal Bycatch is an adventure/comedy about bigotry, people-trafficking, fishing, & cats; set in west Cornwall with a cast of eccentrics. Readers so far say it makes them think, laugh, & keep turning the pages.
If possible, please order from a local independent.

Robert Jenrick complained of ‘not seeing another white face’ in part of Birmingham Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on short visit

About to defect to Reform, are we? Or straight to Robinson’s lot? Mind-boggling to see what is becoming of the Conservative Party which put Mosley in his place and threw Powell out after the “Rivers of Blood” speech…

These👇🏼aren’t trained, professional law enforcement officers.. they’re wannabe special ops Walter Mitty’s given a badge, guns, all the gear but no idea on how to arrest & control anyone..

Bravo to the passersby who stood up to these clowns❗️✊🏼✊🏼

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

The ECHR is much more than a treaty. It’s a quiet promise - a shield against abuse of power, a lifeline for the vulnerable, a declaration of who we are as a nation. In an age of upheaval and division, we must not let it be torn up for political convenience

Convinced that most British people want to live in a functioning, decent country where government improves stuff and everyone can thrive.

The vast majority want nothing to do with this imported hate and atmosphere of violence directed at people just trying to live their lives.

Big news for the vaquita porpoise, the most endangered sea mammal! 💙

The time is now to come together to try and save these animals! I believe fully art can help bring awareness.

Join us on Oct 25th for Save the Vaquita Day!

On the anniversary of The Battle of Cable Street, let us remember that the Daily Mail was cheering on Fascists then and continues that proud tradition today.

The textbooks produced for this will be rubbish because modern textbooks are rubbish. If there’s a children’s publisher out there who wants to capitalise on this when it launches, get in touch and I’ll write you an actually good book about it.

UK will leave ECHR if Tories win election, Badenoch says The European Convention on Human Rights has become a focal point in debates around changing immigration policy.

Rampant stupidity. Politicians attack the ECHR, but ignore what it means or how it works.
It has become a target, but reality is it has very limited impact on asylum removals.
Leaving it though would have catastrophic consequences for the whole country.
