Clive Lewis leading the #LabourParty, is a party I could vote for.

I will not vote Labour while the facilitator of genocide, Keir Starmer, leads it.

Kristi Noem Repeatedly Claimed ICE Deported a Cannibal. It Was β€œCompletely Made Up.” Law enforcement sources told The Intercept that Noem’s tale about a cannibal was a fabrication.

Kristi Noem and the rest of Trumps cabal in government are the cannibals.

Democratically elected Trump has placed these ravenous zealots around the top table to devour democracy, and ultimately defecate a fascist state.

Steve is not a terrorist, his actions were in opposition to the Israeli state sanctioned terrorism in Gaza, which is being supported by the UK government.

The UK and Israeli government are the terrorists, using 'anti-terrorism' legislation to perpetrate their ongoing crimes against humanity.

Very pleased to hear the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation has been found unlawful.

Here's a story inspired by the UK government's criminal, perfidious support of the genocide in Gaza by the Israeli state.

The Clash - I'm so Bored with the U.S.A. (Official Audio) YouTube video by theclashVEVO

A blast from the past, which explodes with present day relevance.

My boredom will be banished by the American hero/heroine who rises to democratically depose Trump.

Who will rise to be the champion of truth, justice and freedom?

Do conspiracies exist? Yes – we're governed by them YouTube video by Richard J Murphy

Pull your head out of the rabbit hole, and see the real conspiracy.

@richardjmurphy.bsky.social tells it like it is, as he always does. A caring voice of sanity in an increasingly crazy world.

I played on a huge rope swing in Horwich. Jump on and swing high over the river. Firemen would often cut it down after broken limbs. Huge straggly knot at the bottom, I jumped on, 2 more jumped on top. Swing. Jumped off, one leg in loop, dragged through the river, bouncing off rocks. Happy days.

The ICE murders in Minneapolis sicken me.

Trump and his henchmen have claimed this chilling terrorist militia are above the law.

The American justice system needs to show that it still upholds the law. No man or woman should be above it.

Abolish ICE is not enough.

Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.

We need prosecutions and trials.

Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Take South East Water into public ownership NOW South East Water has failed households in Kent and Sussex. It is time to bring it into public ownership.

Check out this from We Own It.

Water is life, it should not be in private hands.

All water companies in the UK should be nationalised. Privatisation of utilities in the UK is a failed experiment, a government who represented the people of this country would end it, now.

The beauty, utility and health giving boons of our countryside should not be the preserve of the privileged few. It is OUR LAND. We have a natural right to roam over it, which needs to be backed by legislation.

Cool bear!

I would buy new & stacks of comics from jumble sales and fetes:

Commando, Wizard, Battle, Action, Beano, Dandy, Whoopee, Cheeky, Eagle, Crisis, many Marvel and D.C. titles both US and UK, and last but not least 2000AD.

Action, adventure, humour and sci-fi have all fed into my stories.

Stacks of comics. My bed was halfway up the wall, to accommodate the sloped ceiling of the stairs, so there was plenty of room.

In my dreams, I'd often find an Aladdin's cave, overflowing with fabulous comics. The nightmare - waking & realising my cornucopia of comics had vanished.

There are 2 HisFic stories in my collection

One tells the gripping tale of the Winter Hill Trespass of 1896. The other recounts suffragette Edith Rigby's incendiary direct action, aimed at King George V.

The collection covers the past, present & future of #protest

Scam ads on Meta in UK likely worth more than all online news advertising Meta likely made more than Β£600m from fraudulent UK advertising in 2024.

Meta makes more money spreading lies than it does spreading truth.

Unless it is regulated, it will continue to spread lies and topple our already unstable democracies.
