The same fascist rhetoric today as was seen in the German Reich regarding housing crises. The real cause is capitalism. My film ‘Fires and Fascism’ explores these links: fires-and-fascism.co.uk

Anybody want a laugh? The MOD constantly fly their jets over Norfolk. Their response to a complaint: - military aircraft emissions don't cause climate change - they are diluted anyway - 0.5% of our fuel is from crops that destroy rainforests

Do you think your MP is aware of the full implications of the climate crisis, across health, national security, food security and our economy? Ask them to attend the first National Emergency Briefing on 27 Nov: www.nebriefing.org

Very pleased to see that @charlottechurch.bsky.social was referred to as a ‘Singer & Activist’ on #CelebrityTraitors. Her work with Hacked Off, the environment, and Palestine are inspiring and hugely important. More celebrities should be happy to be referred to as activists.

This piece from @lottieelton.bsky.social in this week’s @bigissue.com says: AI is bad for translation. I am using human translators for my film ‘Fires and Fascism’ for the same reason… “it’s about nuance, culture, meaning. It misses subtleties - empathy, context, cultural understanding” 👏

This is a fascinating film covering key issues of governance, business and political ideology within our worsening environmental crises. Pete will be screening 'Fires and Fascism' close to both our Cornwall and Exeter campuses this week with the opportunity to talk to the director. Tickets linked👇
