This is Reform's only Senedd Member Laura Anne Jones.

She is very angry about the Wales' Nation of Sanctuary that mainly supports Ukrainian refugees.

However she didn't always feel this way. Here are two speeches she has given where she says opposite things.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

A Brief History of Modern Art in Poetry
 
1. Impressionism
Roses sway in softened reds,
Violets swim in murky blues,
Sugar sparkles in the light,
Blurring into golden you.
 
2. Surrealism
Roses are melting,
Violets are too.
Ceci n’est pas le sucre.
Keith is a giant crab
 
3. Social Realism
Roses are dead,
Violence is rife.
Don’t sugar coat
This bitter life.
 
4. Abstract Expressionism
Are and.
Violets roses so.
You sweet blue.
Are are red is sugar        

5. Pop Art
Roses go BLAM!
Violets go POW!
Sugar is COOL!
You are so WOW!
 
6. Conceptual Art
Roses are red,
Coated in blood:
A deer’s severed head
Drips from above

a how to guide for creating crossword dungeons. Step 1 - Find and Do, do the crossword. Step 2 - See Beyond, find the inspiring words and start to see the shape. Step 3 - Extrapolate, ditch words you dont like, create walls, you contol the dungeon. Step 4 - Draw the rest of the owl (make the dungeon from the inspiration). Step 5 - BE NOT AFRAID. Its just a dungeon created from a crossword, they wont always work.

A comment on itch reminded me of this idea for creating #TTRPG dungeons I had a while back. I still think its neat and I don't think I've actually shared it here on bsky.

So bsky.. meet Crossword Dungeons!
Do a crossword, use the answers and designs as inspiration for the rooms, get creative!

the political policy cure for β€œmale loneliness” is

- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)

- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)

- more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Indeed. The most important part of this is not the pros and cons of ID cards, it is the rationale presented for this choice now. Every time a politician says "makes our borders more secure" what people hear is "our borders aren't secure" and Reform goes up another % in the polls.

One thing that is good about this is that you are clearly and repeatedly telling the world that Farage is lying. This is crucial because otherwise people who aren't paying close attention assume that there is a debate with truth on both sides.

Failing to adopt a national approach to 20mph as an urban/village norm in England increased 2024 casualties by 15,000 and insurance costs by Β£2bn. Read our latest press release in anticipation of the release of the DfT 2024 road casualty stats. bit.ly/4gIBPlJ

English Roundabouts
Β 
They’re making the roundabouts great again 
by painting the flag of St George
to keep our circular road systems safe
from the dark, satanic hordes.

What do they want? Patriotic junctions!
When do they want them? Before it’s too late.
Good old-fashioned English roundabouts,
as decreed by Alfred the Great.

Behold the sacred intersection,
this blessed plot, this septic isle.
English roundabouts for English people,
draped in red and white and bile. 

St George is cross, as well he may be –
whipped-up hate, he’s seen before.
Give way to the right, the road signs rage,
and the far right most of all.

Brian Bilston

Corstorphine community council was split into three new cc's this year which means there is no one with access to the old social media accounts. We will be setting up new accounts as we get email addresses to do it with. I didn't know there was an old X account so thanks for flagging it.

The next #Corstorphine and Clermiston #CommunityCouncil is 7pm-9pm, Tuesday 16th September at St Ninian's Church Hall. Enter from the back on St. Ninian's Road and follow the signs. Your community council is a place where you can raise concerns and find out what is going on locally. #Edinburgh
