16 November 1910 | A Ukrainian, Roman Polutranka, was born. A clerk. In #Auschwitz from 20 July 1942. No. 49737 He perished in the camp on 14 August 1942.

Dear Mahmood/Labour, Once the strutting fascist, Yaxley Lennon, is taking credit for your policies, you must know you’ve completely lost your way. You need to get your head out of your arse and your account off X. Yours The real silent (fair-minded and ignored) majority of the UK

At what point will Labour politicians, locally and nationally, really start to push back against the endless underfunding of local authorities? We know what damage this does, and how it will verberate into our futures. How is there not louder, insistent opposition to this?

What’s really depressing is I don’t think there’s ANYONE in British politics who would do a better job than this bunch.

🚨🚨 " The BBC is far from perfect but it remains the most trusted news source in the world. To live up to its promises, it needs more independence, not less. More secure funding, not less. It needs to be set free, not shackled; defended, not attacked." Great stuff by @chrischirp.bsky.social

I’d hate the properly funded public services including cheap, reliable public transport, free university fees, clean streets etc that they have in Finland. Surely no one wants that….

An easy paced run to and around Brockley & Ladywell Cemeteries which included pausing for the Remembrance Sunday event there. I stopped too by the memorial to some of the civilian deaths from WW1

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekSforShadows Shadows on Remembrance Sunday

The Choral was a bit disappointing, felt a bit like a Sunday evening TV period drama which tried too hard to be a WW1 history, look at class, death, sexuality and love. It wasn’t successful in any of them, but a pleasant enough watch, set in Saltaire.

A beautiful sunny Catford #parkrun with the quickest time since March and 1st in age group; litter picking and fallen branch dragging (course check) before and unleashing my inner two year old with lessons from an actual two year old afterwards. #JogDivision #RunningPunks #GreenRunners

Alpaca lost in Deptford…. If any Bo Peeps (or whatever the South American equivalent is) have lost one of your flock, it was by the playground in Brookmill Park, having been rescued from near the River Ravensbourne.
