I’m married; have two daughters; was born in York and am a lifelong Oldham Athletic supporter. I’m now too old to travel up from my home in Surrey to watch them regularly so I get my football fix by watching Fulham. I paint and draw.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social I wonder who is funding the plethora of flags that decorate many of our streets? It’s clear that these flags have been put up professionally - but such a thing comes at cost.

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

Two good guys. I'm so very thankful for their bravery and willingness to push back against authoritarianism -- especially as the rest of corporate media bends the knee...

A mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her eyes in shame was created by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw. It is in a high population area of immigrants in France…!!!
She said ‘The values that the statue once stood for - freedom hope, the right to be yourself - have been lost for many’…!!!

Very much agree with this review of The Hour. Two seasons of excellent drama which seemed to get overlooked at the time. Well worth a watch.
