Tawny owl

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

This is a fairly extraordinary read on Nathan Gill.

Nathan’s mate Nigel sure did seem to want to brush it all away when questioned by Matt Frei back in 2019.

Is it "move to Dubai"?

Aren’t immigrants part of our communities too? How is othering them going to help any of this?

There will be no swans a-swimming this year.

Will Danny now need to deport his South African mother? Awkward.

But at least they weren’t “bourgeois parents”. Proper salt of the earth murderers: university of life, faculty of hard knocks etc…

Disliking misogyny is bourgeois?

Or relocate to Uxbridge?

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

Here's a thread about the Conservative councillor who came up with an imaginative way to block a solar farm.

His colleague's further point - about the lack of a strategy to handle multiple applications for solar farms - is not quite so daft. It's called "planning".

THANK YOU NUNO 👏👏

‘You, Boy!
This is actually NOT my house,
It’s my girlfriend’s.
I misspoke.’

Personal taste obvs, but I love Blend (www.blendnottingham.co.uk) and Sneinton is an interesting part of the City.

The Martyrdom of Saint Lucy The right is desperately seeking to make a martyr out of Lucy Connolly in order to distract from the real victims of the hate she helped to spread, argues Otto English

Lucy Connolly was convicted of inciting racial hatred, and her tweet was part of the tinder that lit violence, intimidation, looting, and thuggery across England last year.

The fact Reform conference gave her a standing ovation says everything about that movement.

Chris Mason: Reform conference shows party's growing ambition like never before The conference feels like that of a big party - but retains the insurgency vibe that the party is seeking to channel.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Utter drivel from snivelling Chris Mason. No mention they platformed a convicted racist, a loony conspiracy doctor & a bunch of failed Tory MPs.Poll after poll consistently shows most Briton’s hate Farage and his band of thugs.Time @uklabour.bsky.social sorted BBC bias.

Reform is a hot mess of race-baiters, grifters, political rejects, climate science deniers and very rich, very selfish dickheads.

But a dull-witted minority think they’re worth a go because they’re “authentic”.

Yes. Authentically ignorant, racist, corrupt, nasty and next-level useless.

Reform are arseholes and if you vote for them that makes you an arsehole or, at best, arsehole-adjacent. No time for this protest/anti-establishment vote BS.

On the same day in the Telegraph:

This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

You know what, fair play to Scooby Doo villains. They walk into a room dressed as a ghost, see a talking dog on its hind legs making the world’s biggest sandwich and somehow manage to stay in character.

I’ve got three kids and can confirm that I’m actually not right in the head.
