The BBC’s most platformed politician turns on them. What a fucking surprise.

Bore da. Yesterday There was a British Legion stall in the High St. I put a fiver in their tin but explained that I wouldn’t take a poppy. The horror is staring all over again, Have we learnt nothing? The huge soldier reached out and shook my hand.

We need as many people as possible to agree with putting in place more ways to increase funding rather than making cuts and essentially punishing those who are already suffering. Tax the Rich – Wealth Tax Now www.oxfam.org.uk/get-involved...

The number of people that go bankrupt every year from medical bills: Canada - 0 Australia- 0 France - 0 Sweden - 0 Norway - 0 Spain - 0 Portugal - 0 UK - 0 Finland - 0 Iceland - 0 Germany - 0 United States - 326,000

Nigel Farage says his tax affairs are ‘nobody’s business’. Oh yes it very much is our business.

Reform is a magnet for racists without a home, a bin for failed Tory MPs without a future, a crèche for brainwashed children with no clue about anything, and a stage for morons who want to dress up in glittery flags, shouting. It is anything but a serious government in waiting.

Symptomatic of how media deliberately feed anger: "asylum seekers in hotels up 8%" as the only headline being pushed. Number much lower than Tory high, spending on hotels significantly down, applications processed faster, backlog down, overall immigration dramatically lower. But that won't do. ~AA

PE has devoured care homes, vets, GP surgeries, high streets. It buys/sells schools too, albeit private ones. Education commodified. Parents complain about paying VAT on fees; silent on PE profiteering. How long before PE is let into state schools? archive.ph/LDSfI

Please repost, if like me, you will never accept Brexit. It harms the British people. It was obtained through foreign interference and by far the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history, and it robs us of freedom and citizenship. #RejoinEU

From the very same paragraph in Orwell's essay: "England has got to be true to herself. She is not being true to herself while the refugees who have sought our shores are penned up in concentration camps, and company directors work out subtle schemes to dodge their Excess Profits Tax."

Noswaith dda. Tesco this am, BRUSSELS SPROUTS. In June! Imported from Morocco. Things are becoming stranger by the day.

Israel now *needs* Iran to respond. Israel can then focus on itself being attacked & demand that Western “allies” rally round it. Iran’s best move is not to respond now- and rather let global criticism of Israel over Gaza, West Bank and their strike on Iran to build to breaking point.

We‘ve done No Mow May for the third year. The lawn hasn’t magically turned into a flowery meadow but we have a variety of ‘weeds’. Yesterday a pair of goldfinches appeared and fed on dandelion and grass seeds, the first I‘ve seen here.

I wonder what happened in 2016? …another picture to save to your phone and share everywhere.

Bore da, morning all. Trying to focus on the positive today, we have a nest of bluetits about to fledge. Bees are all over our herb bed, and a collared dove has been calling. House martins nesting under the eves.

Today’s bake.

Copying Reform on immigration while cutting money from OAPs and the disabled has been a disaster

💪 HUGE congratulations to Devon Greens for going from 2 to 6 councillors on Devon County Council!

“Reform will fix it” ?? !! Like “Jim will fix it”… Same charlatans. All image, disguising very dangerous intentions.

They both keep their money in Tax Havens.

Call those hypocrites out. Those are basic human rights which are not negotiable in a modern society.

Britain, a trading nation, now has a vital choice to make about its priority trading partners: - the EU, where agreements are made, kept, reciprocal, based on international norms, & enforced by a court - the USA, where agreements are made, broken, changed & broken again at a whim, with no recourse

Yesterday I was immensely cheered by the lovely young man on the BT Help site. He introduced himself, he was in Cardiff, and he patiently led me through the maze to get our broadband disc back on line. Took at least 1/2 hour. Here’s to human interaction !

Bore da, morning all. Mae‘n heulog heddiw ar ôl y glaw. Sunny today after the rain, and the bluetits are active again.

Prynhawn da, afternoon all. After a long sunny spell, everything in the garden growing madly and birds busily nesting, we had rain & gales overnight and this morning it snowed in Crymych. We took a car load of stuff to the Tip. Always a pleasure whatever the weather. 🙂

Biodiversity is our life support system. We’re pulling the wires out one by one, and all for short-term profit. We don’t have a backup planet.

Bore da pawb, morning all. In shops, cafes, banks ( if you can find one open) etc, the greeting is ‘ You alright?’ This is odd, and lately I’ve been working on possible answers. eg Er, I think so Don’t I look alright? Absolutely fine and dandy, thanks for asking.. Any other polite options?

Noswaith dda, evening all. Trivial annoyance of the day, among all the random stupidity: There is no such time as 12 pm. Or 12 am, come to think of it. Aaarrrggghhh! What’s wrong with people?

Amol Rajan, "What do you think it would take to get this country growing again?" Alan Sugar, "Go back into the European Union" "That's what I would do. If I was in charge, I'd beg to get back in again"

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago. In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

The UK would now want to rejoin the EU by 55% to 33% Removing those that don’t know - that’s a 62.5% to 37.5% breakdown.

#ProudBlue I agree. There is no word that comes close to accurately describing the human scum.

A beautiful sunny morning working in the garden, and I just cancelled my Prime subscription. I feel better already. Pob hwyl! Cheers!
