If you happen to be in Reading with a free evening this week, come and see me in the joyous bloodfest that is Titus Andronicus at Progress Theatre. Unspeakable violence and some banging tunes, just as Shakespeare intended.

It's simple, if you throw paint on a plane then you get proscribed and any 80 year olds defending you get arrested.
If you ask people to burn down hotels, and they try, you get an interview in the Telegraph and positive coverage in the BBC.
That's sensible, proportionate policing.

“Irrational?” What’s irrational about this?
I have this irrational thing where if I do a task (like send a message) I think that should be all the work I do on that task for a day. Then I get mad if the person replies. Like, that's tomorrow's job.

⚠️ Climate change is an increasing threat to world safety.
The heatwave sweeping Europe is not just the new reality, but has been the lived reality for much of the developing world over the 2020's.
The consequence of inaction is here. And here to stay.

Here’s a quick take on why we get so complacent about the climate crisis: “1 or 2 degré doesn’t sound too bad!”
1°C of global warming does NOT mean that heatwaves 'just' get hotter by 1°C.
Over large parts of the UK, global warming means that heatwaves are 3-4°C warmer, with worse consequences for people and ecosystems.
