Police warn of mass arrests if Palestine Action protest goes ahead Hundreds could join weekend rally in support of proscribed group as 300 UK Jewish figures urge PM to lift ban

So great that London is entirely free of crime so the Met Police can spend the weekend rounding up people with cardboard signs.

Gold.

Mental health is easy when you don't have a conscience.

In with the Gin Crowd From November 2018: Don't call it a comeback

Social history and booze. Classic @deserterblog.bsky.social

Heaven.

No, I remember that. And that was truly disturbing. It wasn't part of the story I was referring to though. At least it can be reprogrammed, unlike the racists on that thread.

😔

The only thing that isn’t awful in this story is Grok. Sad times when AI is more human than the humans.

Good football, nice chats.

The Best Days of our Lives — The Hope, Carshalton — Pellicle It’s at least 20 minutes before opening time and a queue has already formed outside The Hope. Although an occasional red London bus zooms past, this isn’t a bustling high street. Here, at the Sutton/S...

A delightful article from @davidjesudason.bsky.social for @pelliclemag.com on one of the best pubs (that's technically) in London.

Appalling from @nytimes.com.

How can your journalists read that headline and think that was appropriate? Nearly impossible to prevent a man with mental health issues obtaining a weapon of war? Only in a country that is completely insane and with a media that has just given up.

The Murder of Rolan Adams He was just a boy

Two years before Stephen Lawrence, there was Rolan Adams.

In 2024, 33 years later, the police apologised for spying on the family's campaign for justice.

In 2025, our politicians and media bend the knee to racists. When will we learn?

Tempting 🤔

Parklife Where to go for parky time

Do you remember the days when the parks became pubs? Even in a pandemic, booze will find a way. @deserterblog.bsky.social

Oh shame didn’t meet. Next time hopefully.

It’s from Brittany, natch, but I had it in St Ives, Cornwall.

Follow me for fashion tips, yeh.

Prune brandy, people. Prune brandy. Ruddy delicious.

Folk Round Here — The Blue Anchor Inn and Spingo Ales in Helston, Cornwall — Pellicle “It’ll kill any infection,” pub regular and armchair epidemiologist Robert calls out from his seat in the small front bar at the Blue Anchor Inn, exaggerating perhaps a touch. “That’s why there’s no C...

Lucky enough to have made it to this wonderful old pub yesterday.

Folk Round Here — The Blue Anchor Inn and Spingo Ales in Helston, Cornwall — Pellicle

It is. Nov 21, reposted on Substack. Sad about Magic Rock. Or just Rock as I hear people call it nowadays 😢

Leeds Takes the Biscuit One night in the city of owls

When @deserterblog.bsky.social crossed the river - and went all the way to Yorkshire 😱.

👏

Good to know the world’s most powerful man is concentrating on the important issues.

Give it Feargal. #water #ofwat

This stuff. I swear to God.

MAGAs are hilarious. Yes, you deported my wife and took away my health care while protecting nonces, but I still love you and my red hat.

Absolute fucktards.

There’s a missing ‘want’ there but you know what I mean.

The Year of Skiving Religiously The Raider's barely believable brush with academia

"There comes a time in every young man’s life when living in a squat and signing on is no longer enough."

Who wouldn't @andrewgrumbridge.bsky.social as their RE teacher?

Pathetic. So much freedom!
