As usual returning from @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social challenged, encouraged and inspired. “Hope in the making” a way to live. @kateraworth.bsky.social and the #DoughnutEconomicsCircus a real highlight starring #BrianEno as Big Finance being taught to beatbox - where else would you see that?

T shirt arrived to support @savechildrenuk.bsky.social through the formidable @seanjones.org and the #BillableHour image raises the question as to whether the man on the Clapham omnibus was ahead of the time in a driverless vehicle or contributorily negligent by riding on it if it crashes? Discuss

Reading Sister in Law by @h-cwj.bsky.social A challenging and an inspirational read.
For anyone who thinks that the operation of the law automatically leads to justice … think again!

This 👇🏼 How has Keir Starmer got this so badly wrong? @teamlabouruk.bsky.social the party of Nye Bevan and the welfare state is sacrificing the needs of the unwell and impoverished so we can fight war!

#Liverpool Law Society dinner and awards was at a new level this year. When Lady Hale is your guest speaker that is a win and when she reminds the room at the start of her speech that #HumanRights are front and centre that tops it all.

Spent the weekend at #Greenbelt An annual recharge of the batteries and an encouragement to Dream On about a better world. A live connection to a church in the occupied territories outside #Bethlehem was a real inspiration. Meeting with @stevecornforth.bsky.social always a joy.
