The British by Poet Mr #BenjaminZephaniah
Home English Poets The British by Benjamin Zephaniah "Take some Picts, Celts and Silures And let them settle, Then overrun them with Roman conquerors. Remove the Romans after approximately 400 years Add lots of Norman French to some Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Vikings, then stir vigorously. Mix some hot Chileans, cool Jamaicans, Dominicans, Trinidadians and Bajans with some Ethiopians, Chinese, Vietnamese and Sudanese. Then take a blend of Somalians, Sri Lankans, Nigerians And Pakistanis, Combine with some Guyanese And turn up the heat. Sprinkle some fresh Indians, Malaysians, Bosnians, Iraqis and Bangladeshis together with some Afghans, Spanish, Turkish, Kurdish, Japanese And Palestinians Then add to the melting pot. Leave the ingredients to simmer. As they mix and blend allow their languages to flourish Binding them together with English. Allow time to be cool. Add some unity, understanding, and respect for the future, Serve with justice And enjoy. Note: All the ingredients are equally important. Treating one ingredient better than another will leave a bitter unpleasant taste. Warning: An unequal spread of justice will damage the people and cause pain. Give justice and equality to all."

Listening to @theresthistory.bsky.social podcasts about Nelson. Fab-u-lous. I might even buy Dominic's book!

Lots of my family live close together. Is it wrong to send all their Christmas cards in one envelope and ask one person to distribute the cards? Asking for a friend!

Listening the Songs of a Lost World by The Cure. I like it a lot. Have a listen on your favourite streaming service.

Back home after a week being a tourist in Naples. Looks like we've brought the autumn sunshine home with us.

Switched from Twitter/X. Fed up of Musk's ramblings. Good to see many familiar faces here.
