Nigel Never Knew Nathan, Russians, you say?”
(A Cautionary Tale of Selective Memory)

Old Nigel stood puffed by the Channel’s blue air,
With a pint and a grin and a well-practised stare.

This is patriotism. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

This is pride.

This is unity.

This is a city and a region saying loud and clear- no to racism and no to a far right agenda seeking to divide us.

So much love for our place and our people today. Thank you to everyone who came out and showed who we are.❀️

A racist mob menacing refugee children and our town. Read this and see what lies ahead, unless we act now | Anonymous Last weekend, it fell to ordinary people to oppose the far right and others. The national toxicity has reached us: a kind of hate I haven’t seen since the 1970s

He was pretty damned good although Horse Meat Disco maybe my favourite. Plenty of other grey hairs & dad dancers, in amongst the cool kids & Fender showed for a 🍺. The terrace bar backed on to B&M which made for some confused Sunday shoppers. Home & in bed by 10 alas as felt my age eventually πŸ‘¨πŸΌβ€πŸ¦³
