Fallen

November brought an
End to the falling
And all the fallen
We remembered

A premature parting
Returned to the
Soiled earth,
A permanent rest

Then winter
Came, savage
Wind & cold.
Darkness remained

Yet no spring
Would hasten the
Return of
The fallen

Thought for the day.

Running is hard.

Not on the legs...but in the head. It is hard to motivate myself at times & the mind is always telling me

NO WAY, GO SLOW, STOP, GO HOME!

But it is always a great feeling to get home after a run...and to silence the negative thoughts.

A picture that sums up Trump. It's always got to be about him.

A gentleman collapses in the Oval Office and is attended to by concerned colleagues & White House officials.

Trump stands, devoid of empathy, face like cold custard.

Test test test?
Or
Teach teach teach?

Mandatory reading tests will do little to resolve the problem of literacy in children.

Encourage reading: maintain (reopen) libraries, author visits, book tokens etc would be a better idea.

Make reading fun

World Vegan Day

What have I achieved in the last nearly 8 years since going vegan on 1st Jan 2018?

•Between 800 & 1,600 animals saved.
•Improved overall health
•At 57, I feel as healthy as I have ever done.
•A guilt free conscience.

What time would you be happy to go back to and why is it the 80's?

The memories...

- carefree teenage years
- the best music
- shoulder pads and huge hair
- a world on the brink of nuclear war
- the Sinclair C5
- ZX Spectrum
- Agadoo

How to challenge the Reform mob? Appeal to Labour/Lib Dem voters with decency, honesty & integrity, straightforward policies that are inclusive, not divisive.

A refreshing change.

If Deform get in to power in the UK and try to form an equivalent of ICE (er...NIP ? No Illegals Permitted) you can count on the decent British public to spit in their tea, tut very loudly and in the proud Scottish tradition tell them all to 'get tae f*ck'.

Thoughts, Words, Deeds
The Racists Haiku

Time was they just thought
Now thoughts become hateful words
Actions will follow

The unashamed, unbridled, blatant, nasty racist rhetoric from prominent politicians in the UK recently is a horrible manifestation of dogwhistle politics.

It's Suede o'clock.

Already dark, clocks have gone back, dinner on the go and one of the best debut albums in history imho.

Suede: Suede

So Young, Animal Nitrate, Pantomime Horse etc.

Brilliant

Blame the Immigrants

A poem from my 2019 collection, Commentary - Poems for Today and Yesterday.

It feels, sadly, all the more relevant today. Immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers being scapegoated for the ills and problems in UK society.
