When you hope that a 'Labour' party will look after the Workers and the vulnerable in society and you get this.

Jon Palmer Acoustic Band - Working For The Gangmaster - Ont' Sofa Sessions
YouTube video by Ont' Sofa Jon Palmer Acoustic Band - Working For The Gangmaster - Ont' Sofa Sessions

A fine song from Yorkshire singer-songwriter Jon Palmer. Exploitation, modern slavery and the abuse of men, women and children flourishes all around the world ....and just around the corner.
A reminder that we all need to keep striving to destroy the exploiters.

Cheers Anne Ramsey.

Reminds me of the time 12 years ago after my road accident. The back pain was so severe I couldn't walk even a short distance but could travel around on my bike no problem.

Not exactly sure why that was...muscle/disc damage I suppose. Posture on the bike prob made it easier.๐Ÿ‘

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.

To โ€˜tartleโ€™ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

Especially if you're Greg Wallace and you are struggling with names of middle-class women of a certain age.

Top Orangeman: Proposal to get rid of Ulster Banner as flag of Northern Ireland's athletes risks 'community tension' The Grand Secretary of the Orange Order has said that the move towards ditching the Ulster Banner as the flag of Northern Irelandโ€™s athletes risks ratcheting up โ€œcommunity tensionsโ€.

Always good to see the ever-growing Mervyn Gibson getting involved and remaining as relevant to 17th century politics as ever.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Meanwhile on BBC Radio Ulster the cutting edge of world journalism reports on cyber attacks. Iran gets a big mention. The United States didn't tell them to say that.

Disclaimer: Legal advisers for Gerry Adams state that he says that he was never in IRAn.

Defibrillators are to be introduced to schools by DUP Education Minister Paul Givan to mitigate the effects of additional workload on teachers' stress levels.

The careful tendering process for supplying them to every school is to be overseen by Red Sky Chicken-shed Heaters plc.

In Wexford for a cupla days.
A beautiful, historical town. Lovely view from the hotel over the Slaney estuary. Great Craic with teachers' union friends last night. Weather has limited the walking and exploration. Next time. (Random Ranger's shirt in TKMAXX!)

Great interview with young golfer Tom McKibben on Radio Ulster. Seems like a nice kid.

Listen back quickly before he goes all Yanqui!! Only a matter of time his good Ulster accent transmogrifies! I blame GraemeMcDowell for it all!!
