"Action, like a sacrament, is the visible form of an invisible spirit" (bell hooks) || journalist || campaigner || @amnesty || Easily distracte
People talk of a gentle slide into authoritarianism, but the size of yesterday's majority to proscribe Palestine Action (385 to 26 votes) is no “gentle slide”!

It is a headlong charge!

I am reminded of stories recounted by people living in repressive states of how they would leave a packed suitcase in the hallway in case they had to suddenly flee

I have not left Twitter...but #bluesky is my packed suitcase

The most sophisticated tyrannies are ones that have a showman as their frontman

Clown or blowhard

Jester or villain

The type of showman doesn’t matter

Their audience will love them just the same
