All square for the season #nffc #leeds but that's little consolation.

The Far Right and the Riots: Paedophiles, Animal Abusers and Former Britain First Members – HOPE not hate HOPE not hate exposes the individuals behind the disturbances and their links to far-right organisations and longstanding anti-migrant campaigns. The week of 29 July to...

Very much on board with @reformuk.bsky.social plan to tackle paedophiles / criminals in the UK. Particularly the super patriotic, Tommy Robinson / EDL supporting cis white men who also support Reform. Statistically the most likely group to sexually assault people.

Sigh. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.

We NEED to know otherwise how can we hold you to account? But maybe that is the very point. You don't want holding to account.

Legal disclaimer I don't support Palestine Action.

But I certainly don't support the current Israeli Government / IDF or our own government providing support for genocide

Likewise if you are going to arrest the best part of 400 pensioners under terrorism legislation for holding up a sign opposing genocide you can't just say;

“Many people may not yet know the reality of this organisation, but the assessments are very clear – this is not a nonviolent organisation."

How much of the UK's current wave of discontent, beit Asylum Hotels or the proscription of protest groups comes down to Government and Legal accountability?

People want to know who the people in the hotels are, where they are from and why.

So this should be in the headline of every major newspaper tomorrow.
It will however only be mentioned in very few papers at all.

'who I'm assuming are not a fruit' is my favourite thing I've put in a work email this week.

#Nottingham folk @leftlion.bsky.social produce such great #notts focussed art work. Anyone else keen to see them having a shop on their website?

It's good that there is a clear rate card now and that it broadly reflects the rates in the USA. But I agree, these rates are very few and far between for a jobbing actor. With so many actors having home studios and living on the breadline the producers are currently the ones naming their price.

Phew. 4 excellent penalties and a strong #nffc save. But all credit to #ecfc

Well. #nffc are making very hard work of this. #understatement

The ref has made a rod for his own back here with that Murillo yellow early doors. Can't see this ending 11v11 #nffc

"this powerful documentary highlights how we fought back against dehumanising #spycops intrusion and abuse, which was sanctioned by the state for decades to undermine progressive campaigns for change.

Blimey did #Uefa actually manage to get something right? I quite enjoyed the final #championsleague match day!

Apparently pigs can fly. That's the only explanation for how THREE new runways in the south east will:

A. Ensure we meet our net zero goals.

B. Level up the UK away from the south east 🤦‍♂️

Finally for this little flurry of initial posts, a shout out to the team at www.frankwater.com who do great work on such an important issue. They have lovely t-shirts, bottles, e-gifts and things if you need presents 💦💧🚰 🍶

There will probably be football, particularly #nffc - incase you haven't noticed they are currently smashing it 😎.

A couple of seasons ago they gave the shirt sponsorship to the @unhcr.org which I was very proud of and I continue to support their work.

If you're theatrically inclined Kefi Chadwick's play 'Any Means Necessary' was excellent. #spycops #Nottingham

...But it will certainly be political.

If you don't know about the #Spycops in the UK you should. It's an outrageous overreach of the MET police in particular. New to the story? Start with the BBCSounds podcast. If an old hat, @tombfowler.bsky.social is your go-to for ongoing info and your support.

I'm not 100% how stagey this account will end up rather than political (remember when that other place was a safe space to have an opinion on humanity). But this is certainly #stagey 🎭 #theatre #stage @ashrowtm.bsky.social @rowscarboroughsmi.bsky.social

I wish more people in the UK would join me on the White beers so I could top up my supplies easily 🍻 #daydrinking #workdo
