A whole new lot of folk just followed me, which is, of course, lovely; I suspect it’s because I’m on a couple of starter packs. But to warn you all, I can be random in my posts, but expect: HE L&T; UK politics; crochet; reposts of art/craft/photograpy etc; book stuff. Feel free to unfollow 😉
Binge watched Murderbot this weekend. It’s SO good! And an excellent adaption of the novella. Great casting. If you haven’t read the murderbot diaries by @marthawells.com you’ve missed a treat. They are excellent on audiobook too. #sf #fiction #writing #books #whattowatch

Government has got this spectacularly wrong.
If an organisation is breaking the law, prosecute it.
But arresting people for holding up signs is a waste of police time, it's increasing support for the organisation &, above all, it's a flagrant violation of free speech.
