On the other hand, I want to make the UK the most beautiful, safe & fair place on the planet where people live together in harmony supporting & nurturing each other and where poverty, war & prejudice become stories of the past.
I have a dream and that’s one thing regressive politics can’t take.

Yesterday the UK Home Secretary said in a TV interview, and I quote: "We want to make the UK a less attractive place for people to come." Job well done on that score, I'd say.
I don’t know what to say anymore other than to remind those in power that refugees are human beings with equal rights who, along with their children, deserve a safe, stable & integrated life in their communities and that what they’re breaking now with this performative cruelty can’t be fixed later.

One thing that's been heavily proven to me is Bluesky is not all politics. The music, record, cd, movie, books, horror and lots more scenes are heavily alive and well here with almost zero negativity. Better engagement here than Facebook has been in years.

30 minutes before our parade. I saw many people out to remember our war dead.
In Perth we have a section of a cemetery for the Poles who died fighting out of Scotland. I thought that we ought to thankful, then I thought again; we fought with them.
We are more resllient when all lean on each other

The casual racism on Facebook about Mamdani is a bit upsetting to me, a Brit. Some of it is meant to be funny, but I’ve had it with camel, goat, and magic carpet jokes.
Equally the attacks on Humza Yousaf for writing about Islamophobia in Scotland are in a different league of awfulness
