Self-promotion klaxon: I am technically one of the authors of this paper. But really it was Robin who did it all based on a project I was involved in 😁
That's really cool! 🧡
Brilliant photo
I really enjoyed the programme and will be interested to read the book now

And yes that should say aaagh

I hope you have eaten profiteroles since this post

This is a great read! Thoroughly recommend. I'm trying to make it just for my holiday but I want to find out what happens, do reading too fast 🤣
I am reading your novel, sat at Manchester airport, and loving it 🩷🩷🩷
Thank you @nationaltrust.org.uk for a lovely holiday at #HorseyBarns Norfolk. We loved it. And saw cranes, kingfishers, a hobby, terns as well as seals. It was fab.
Take this seriously
Great to hear that
❗The biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade is coming to Great Yarmouth and we need your help to stop it. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...
Done. (I'm really sad, I've just been on holiday in the Norfolk Broads nearby and it's lovely, and this news really spoils the area.)
Wow!!
Thank you, that was a useful article (unfortunately, for my cat)
Ah! Wind turbines??
Flea treatment effects? 🤔
Dozens of human rights groups call on UN Human Rights Council #HRC60 to renew scrutiny over human rights in #Burundi - an initiative rightly led by @euatun.bsky.social since 2021. As risk factors of future violations multiply, UN scrutiny is more needed than ever. www.hrw.org/news/2025/08...
I loved the film
😄 I'll be wishing you good luck with the descending 🤞👍

I accept the non-essential ones too
Couldn't agree more. Distressing. 😟

Is no one else watching Australia v Samoa game? #rugbyworldcup ☹️ I have no-one to talk to about it . Watching at home. BBC iPlayer. Go on Samoa! ❤️

It's like one of those memes about: Just Be Your Unique Self

Great game! 🎉🌟❤️
It was a great game, wasn't it?
Look, this is not a new issue, but people really need to get a grip and grow up. If you think an additional 73 people per 10,000 are why services are fecked you are living in a fantasy world. It isn't people coming to the UK seeking safety who are the issue. news.sky.com/story/home-o...
Ooh! That looks v relaxing 💚

Cute!
You mean, worse like Mars bars..? (Or is that a terrible slur on Scottish cuisine? Maybe it is urban myth?)
I'm so sorry too

🤣 yep. 8.07pm I've just eaten chips (UK chips) and a whole Toblerone.
🤣
😄
And now I'm looking more closely it must be your foot behind me, I'm guessing. But it looks like I've got a tiny right leg, or a very wide stride maybe? 😂
🤣 oh yes! That's very appropriate for an Alice in Wonderland style tea room.
I'm sorry, I hope you are ok 🩷

This is actually why I go to church: for history's sake and a sense of continuity. It just gives me a better sense of place and less anxiety about death!

Krystal, in that photo I look like I've muscled in in front of you with my sharp elbows, and that lampshade is muscling in from the top 😄 As PI you should be front and centre 🩷
Great paper, great tea rooms 😁
Depends when you're comparing against, I suppose. Probably if you compared now or 1980s against the 1950s it's rubbish 😂. I wonder when its heyday might have been ☀️

🤣
Oh! I didn't know what it was. Thanks
😥
Oh!!
I wouldn't even call such a vision "progressive", just decent or moral. We've just gone backwards so much.
🤣
I disagree with this article actually. Morecambe is loads better than 25 yrs ago. More Music Morecambe, the Platform, the Midland, there's a cinema again (fair enough there were 2 in the 1980s, then 0, but now 1 again), kite festival, 1940s festival, etc etc 🩷
I'm really interested in when migration became so hard and so regulated. It seems to be related to nation states and passports which are recent inventions (last 100 years in UK??). Any good books on the subject anyone can recommend so I can know more?
👏🤞🌟💐❤️

Gulp 😳... Sending love
Certainly I've offered a room to local refugees once they've got right to remain and while they're finding their feet once they're told they have to leave their accommodation.
I don't think we can do that in our own homes due to UK asylum laws which demand that asylum seekers stay in the official accommodation sites (I think technically so govt knows where they are). They can't just lodge with other people. But I might be wrong on that.
(The men's families were also in danger due to the husband's legitimate political activities )
But one man's wife and child came over when he got right to remain. He is a highly qualified software engineer now working for a UK company.
They were (separate countries, different circumstances) being threatened with intimidation, violence, death threats by their country's government and army in a way that their wives weren't at the time.
The reason for two of my young male asylum seeker friends coming here was to escape the political persecution they were facing in their home countries.
Day in, day out, I speak to ordinary people who are organising to welcome the asylum seekers accommodated in their towns. They befriend, support them, reach out to them as fellow human beings. That's the Britain I know, the one I see around me & we never get told about on TV.
Happy birthday!

I am going to try garlic this year. Thanks for this.
