Love 'Supernatural'. Annoyed with the world and politically angry.
Writing, books, art and nature keep me sane.

1/ This is a slightly edited thread of mine from the other side. I want to pin it here (if I can work out how to do so) because it still seems relevant.
Unfortunately, it's quite long, so I hope you'll stay with it. It starts with me re-watching an old anime series & finding a hidden gem.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

This is a long thread, but stick with it, it's worth it.
I do not think that anger is a helpful emotion. It does not really do anything that is positive.
But I must admit that I am angry at a very fundamental level these days because everything that is currently happening in the UK was predictable and predicted. Not in every detail, but in the ... 🧵

Highlighting just how disgusting both Lowe and the Labour Party is right now...
A perfect demonstration of how to increase racism and division in an already fractured country.

Full tweet from Lowe below - do note the wording:
"Our job is to keep the pressure on, to make them go FAR faster and FAR further.
Keep pushing. We are winning."
Indeed they are - and Labour is absolutely letting them.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.
Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

The only way to defeat extremism is to be radical; radically honest and determined. Not take this shit any more. Tell people the truth. Why we need immigration. Why Brexit is a shitheap. Why our public services can’t cope. Why our economy is stuck…
Anything other than that, Nigel is laughing at you.

The Daily Telegraph doesn't seem to publish circulation figures and hasn't since 2019; however based on the decline in newspapers generally, it's circulation now is estimated at 150,000. Which is already lower than Green Party membership!
