Woke up early to witness the pink footed geese wake up and fly off for their breakfast! There were 1000s of the noisy honkers. A glorious nature spectacle! 💚🪿🪿🪿. AND a rainbow cloud, what the...! 🌈🌈☁️

If you don’t like the BBC, I suggest that you go to America and watch their TV for a day. It gives you a migraine. The BBC also keeps the standards of the other outlets relatively high. If you think we watch shit now, imagine it with no BBC. And they actually care about drama, children’s, factual.

'Hello Wall'. Shirley Valentine was probably the first film I saw as a kid that portrayed an unhappy woman taking control of their life and being independent and free! I loved it and her so much ❤️. RIP Pauline!

Genuinely gutted to hear about Pauline Collins. This was a formative performance for me 😭

Fascinating article. This applies to the UK as well, the right wing portraying London as a Sharia law loving hellscape, Birmingham as a multicultural nightmare with no-go zones. And this is why! They don't want young people moving from their towns and enjoying living a free life in these cities!
I've often said it, but a major factor in what drives the MAGA movement is that they've created communities that are unwelcoming to young people — and then they get mad young people want to leave.

And the only "solution" they can think of is to trap them.

This is unacceptable. The tech sector must be held accountable and take responsibility.

@techvsterrorism.bsky.socials Adam Hadley: "Platforms have largely given up in being proactive in finding and removing terrorist content."

"The standards across the tech sector have dropped."

Literally brought a tear to my eye. I love hearing this positive message about immigration and the wonderful mix of people in the UK. It's sadly missing atm. I need to join the @scottishgreens.org !!

HOPE not hate condemn the appalling, violent attack at a synagogue in Manchester which has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Our thoughts are with the Jewish community and all affected.

18 September 1932 | A French Jewish girl, Rosa Farber, was born in Paris.

On her 10th birthday, she was deported from #Drancy to #Auschwitz. She was murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

The only newsworthy aspect of the far-right anti-migrant protests currently is how pathetically small they are.

Last summer 60,000 people came to the Restore Nature Now protest in London, and the BBC didn’t even report on it.

bsky.app/profile/sund...
Times: "Asylum protests swell across the UK " headline, reporting an underwhelming wave.

Leeds "draws 70"
Cardiff "disorganised + small"
Altrincham "*swelled* to around 200"
Cheshunt about 250
Chichester: about 100
Portsmouth: about 70 v 70 on each side
