Runner, acoustic music, film, gardens…Would add emojis, but afraid I’d get it wrong and there would be some weird youth subtext to them. I’m dyslexic. Visual tracking issues mean I sometimes leave words out. There will be typos. Canadian in the U.K.

The Underground Railroad was an organized network of secret routes and safe houses for fugitive slaves to escape to the abolitionist Northern United States[1] and Eastern Canada during the era of slavery in the United States. Slaves escaped from slavery as early as the 16th century; many of their escapes were unaided.[2][3][4] However, a network of safe houses generally known as the Underground Railroad began to organize in the 1780s among Abolitionist Societies in the North.[5][6] It ran north and grew steadily until President Abraham Lincoln[7] issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. The escapees sought primarily to escape into free states, and potentially from there to Canada

Today in #BlackHistoryMonth, 2/4/1913 #Rosa Parks was born. 1955 refused to move to the back of the bus in a planned #directaction against #JimCrow, sparking Montgomery Bus #Boycott. Later in her life, she became a supporter of the Black Power Movement and an anti-Apartheid activist.

"His Facebook account was exposed by an anti-Reform group claiming he was regularly engaging with a page called European Race, which promotes white supremacy."

Why are so many individuals involved in Reform UK being caught up in such a way?

Catherine O'Hara as Margaret Meehan (SCTV/"High Q")
YouTube video by RW Scott Catherine O'Hara as Margaret Meehan (SCTV/"High Q")

I keep watching this because it's so finely tuned. Margaret isn't just interrupting, she has a compulsion. She gives her answer, is briefly relieved that she scratched it, but over time the remorse and internal conflict rise. You see her internal struggle. Subtle comedy!

How has Donald Trump escaped the Epstein files? When I met Jeffrey Epstein in 2010, I could see his stink had spread across Manhattan high society

"Mega-wealth so often erodes a moral compass. Epstein’s appeal was an insidious gift of permission. Girls, tax evasion, private places to play. An underground railway of upper-echelon decadence."

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.

When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

Palestine Action protesters not guilty of defence firm burglary The group are cleared of aggravated burglary over the alleged raid at an Elbit Systems warehouse.

Pleased to see the jury make this decision.

We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries.

People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover.

Strongly worded letters? Petition? Sit in? Hunger strike?

Terr0r1sm is what white colonialists say when the natives resist.....

Stealing is their right. And the only perceived prerogative of the natives is to submit & die.....

Well guess what? They wont....

Jeffrey Epstein sent $75,000 to Lord Mandelson linked accounts, documents appear to show Lord Mandelson says he has no record or recollection of receiving the sums and does not know if the documents are authentic.

Mandelson earlier said he had no recollection of receiving 75 thousand dollars from Epstein, after documents appear to show those payments. If that is confirmed, we might expect that his resignation from the Lords may follow quite imminently
