The baseless innuendo of “family voting” The extraordinary decision by Democracy Volunteers to shroudwave about “family voting” for the Gorton and Denton by-election has damaged both trust in the political system and harmed ra…

Next time anyone you speak to says, 'yeah but family voting', make sure you've read this and have it up your sleeve.

Listening at this very moment. Excellent

My new fantasy creature. Slightly hampered in finishing it by my template falling down the back of the sofa but I got there.

We wait with bated breath!!

Given the schedule for New Years Day with the small bits during the day and ‘Truth and Lies’ programme after the main episode, I presume it’s going to be big.

A bit of a let down I thought when we were all waiting for ‘hell to be unleashed’ according to the previews.

Weavings finished. I’ve gone a bit wild with this one.

My friendly alien is ready to come off the loom. Given the weather, he has obviously taken the sensible decision to wear a sun hat.

This is disgraceful, so much for devolution.

I made myself a blobby friend.

Never was the case

I gather it will take place in August.

A mixture of disappointment that WECA didn’t go Green and relief that it wasn’t Reform.

Part of the reason for campaigning against the Bristol mayor was that the position was unnecessary because of the WECA mayor. I hope that helps your confusion.

My first weaving (and embroidery) in a while.

Susan and Clarrie’s job interview, I think.

You do realise that this happened in England?

UK, 2025: a country where police break into a place of worship and arrest those inside who are having a meeting and might be planning a non-violent action.

The right to peaceful protest is an essential part of a healthy democracy. Governments who crack down on it are governments to be very wary of.

I agree that she shouldn’t have done that. I had another therapist who, as soon as I said my brother was autistic, told me that autism was caused by vaccines. That was me gone!!! I then moved on to my current therapist who is wonderful.

I agree that they shouldn’t be and, as I say, apart from that one person, nobody has pushed any religion at all. You can easily change (and report) therapists but it’s obviously your choice.

That’s partly what I meant by finding the right one. There was one therapist I moved on from for that very reason. I’m a Christian too, but my Christianity is very different from the one being pushed. Apart from that one person though, it has been fine.

In the light of the news from BP today.

I watched the meeting online. Well done all.

Heathrow is typical of the Government.

Makes inequality worse, evidence is biased by vested interests and it's terrible for the planet.

Rather than a frequent flyer levy, Labour are only interested in representing corporate interests.

My thoughts exactly!

They are simply consulting over it, as other councils have done. Nothing has been decided.
