You need to start the resistance ! Hopefully things will improve somehow !

George Orwell would have a field day. Seems like your birthday triggered something. Anyway really hope to see you back on X. You’re one of the few people I actually enjoy reading. @thattimwalker.bsky.social being another. Thank you.

It’s sadly a sign of the times. We’ve been drawn - perhaps naively - into this world of social media but now it’s turning on us and setting its own very sinister agenda. Not sure where it’s leading to but it feels very dystopian and frightening. Hope you get the chance to stick two fingers to them.

Will they let you back in ? Hope so.

If you think it's romantic to have a carriage ride, think about the Horse especially in extremes of weather
It is abuse

Shameful

Scrolling through @skynewsrss.bsky.social and no mention of Gaza. Absolutely nothing to report on it seems. @thattimwalker.bsky.social

Happy birthday to my brother John!

Makes it look so easy - but endless brilliant images

‘Photography is therapy for me’: Martin Parr on humour, holidaying and life behind the lens He has a prolific career and extensive portfolio, with his images of British life especially iconic. At 72, he tells Miranda Sawyer, he’s still thinking about what to shoot next

So Europe turned out not to be the threat to our way of life. Nor Islam or those souls made desperate and dispossessed by war and crisis. The threat turned out to be a Russian-American empire

Did you catch @animalaid.bsky.social’s brilliant new advert on Channel 4 last night ?

Good to be back in LA

Birthday celebration with dear Steve @stevehacketthq.bsky.social

Depressing to see our isolated and increasingly desperate country held to ransom.

‘This is the best song he (Phil) ever wrote’. Then Steve gets a side mention.

Another example though of Steve not getting the credit he’s due.

I think you might find that Steve wrote most of this - including a lyric or two from his brother John.

I am a little bored with the 'What About Brexit?' bombardment tbh but you really can't talk about the UK's "deep economic scars" without bloody mentioning it. Unless you're the BBC, apparently. Its negative impact is not an opinion, it's counting.

Reeves could transform the economy overnight by ceasing to worship at the altar of Brexit and going with the idea of modestly taxing people worth £10m-plus just a little bit more.

At long last: a statement of the blindingly obvious. Boris-Frost-Farage-Badenoch etc have damaged the UK badly. “In one of the clearest statements by a senior government minister on Brexit, Reeves answered yes when asked if she was clear that leaving the EU had damaged the UK’s financial position”.

There are some issues - like, say, the death penalty - where I can see the wisdom in politicians ignoring public sentiment. I see no wisdom whatsoever in Starmer ignoring common sense opinion on a common sense issue such as this.

How Greenland must regret voting to leave the European Community and ‘taking back control’ in 1985.

Why are we so scared to accept the EU’s generous post-Brexit deals? Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer are making a huge mistake in not openly embracing offers to cut red tape

"We need closer ties with the EU and now they are letting us know the door is ajar. All we have to do is push it open. And yet we cannot even find the strength to do it”
