Can progressive regionalism help to defeat toxic English ethno-nationalism?

Or as one of the signs at the recent #Newcastle anti-fascist demo said:

“Racism. Nah you’re alreet pet.”

Wrote the alt text description for this pic - then realised, that’s probably the whole post.

‘Picture of two bearded men in selfie style. One is the famous stand-up comedian, podcaster, presenter, agitator and all round top bloke, Alexei Sayle. One is not.’

Bad pic but lovely moment. Taken before John introduced @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social at a rally in #Scarborough in 2017. In the crowd he asked for my rosette. He got me to sign it, as he liked souvenirs. He took an interest in everyone and you could tell he had such passion for people. #RIPJohn
