Beautiful poem always, & beautifully delivered here, with such terrific images. You can have the World, but without hope you are lost. Equally you can virtually nothing except hope, and be quite happy. Hope itself is a great gift.

Our Green Team were out again yesterday, and the warm welcome is enhanced by more and more #VoteGreen signs going up around town. It is clear that our candidate John Knight, who has long been working hard for the people of Macclesfield, is well known and well liked.

Reform MP says sight of Black and Asian people 'drives her mad'
Reform’s racism runs deeper than its manifesto, they are really just saying the quiet part out loud now. Even TalkTV viewers were stunned

This is a remarkable story of 2 Irish women who stood up against injustice & stood tall. Their courage & defiance, for strangers they would never meet, is a reminder that even the smallest light can burn through the darkest times

Tories and Reform want to quit the European Convention on Human Rights.
Since 1980, the ECHR court has heard 29 cases of immigrant deportation. UK won 16. No defeats in the last 5 yrs.
Quitting ECHR won't fix illegal immigration, will destroy our freedoms and rights.

The Economist has claimed Britain is trapped in a “debt doom loop.” But they’re wrong. The UK does not face a government debt crisis. What we really face is chronic underinvestment, inequality, and an elite media pushing austerity to protect the wealthy.

Terrifying that this is a terrific video for our times. Good luck to all sensible Americans & any who aren't quite yet, but would like to continue living and working in peace there.
How to record ICE:
1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE.
2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video.
3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS
4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How?
5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked.

England and Wales are in danger of going the same way as the US...and the damage being done there will take generations to fix, the confidence of these kids to be racist in public, whilst filmed, is 100% on the politics around this issue from Farage to Starmer, all are responsible for this.
If we are locking up terrorists it should be Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, the Daily Mail, the Sun, GB News, the Telegraph and all the rest.
Look what they are doing to millions and what impact that has on the rest of us.
