kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

Swifts have lost more than half their population in 20 years. A simple £35 brick in new builds could help save them. Labour used to support this – now they’re planning to backtrack. Sign the petition now to show them the public still backs this nature-friendly fix:

@grantmcphee.bsky.social thought you might be interested in this flier. 1985 or 86, I remember seeing them two or three times as a student in Plymouth in front of a handful of people. As I’m sure you know, the guys at Meat Whiplash record shop were huge fans and brought them to the West Country

Giving this another nudge for anyone who missed it earlier...
Still no payment from my ex-publisher, so I'm selling a few more of these (all purchased from their warehouse). The offer I'm doing is ALL FOUR of these, signed, for the price of the 1983 hardback (£16.99) plus postage.
Please email me at hello@tom-cox.com with your address if you want to nab them.

It’s striking how many people online are describing being ill with COVID symptoms but not for a minute considering that it might be the C-word. Of course, I put that on the government not the individuals with “weird flu and vertigo”.

Was on @news.sky.com this morning discussing 5 years since that first lockdown.
This is what I said about lockdown being a terrible choice, but that the alternative was also terrible. And it wasn't just about deaths either. 1/3
