The problem we have is that vaccines are so effective that most of us don’t remember the days when these diseases caused terrible consequences and grifters/demagogues have taken advantage. My great aunt lost two kids in a week to diphtheria and a great uncle had a withered leg due to polio #vaccines

Tonight’s film viewing is a classic and one of my favourites - Theatre of Blood from 1973. Vincent Price at his best. Brilliant supporting cast. Camp, horrific and brilliant #horror #horrorsky #VincentPrice

Sorry to hear about your mum. Hope she gets better soon. Ashamed to say whenever I hear Grieg’s Piano Concerto the first thing that comes to my mind is this…

The Emergency Alert seemed to work fine. Personally I think we should petition the government to use it to warn people when a new series (inexplicably) of Mrs Brown’s Boys starts on the BBC

Sunday baking today is making use of some very overripe bananas - @nigella.bsky.social wonderful recipe for banana bread. Rum soaked sultanas and nuts (recipe calls for walnuts but I was out so I used pecans)take it up a notch. Very moist + great with a cuppa. Recipe in post below #bakesky #cakesky

Well it doesn’t look good terrorising normal people just because of who they are. If you tag them as an activist it seems in some peoples eyes then all bets are off and they are fair game. All of it is bullshit of course.

I think it’s very dependent on the clubs involved. I’ve noticed how the Wissa stuff is mentioned now, mostly as an aside after they put the boot into Isak. The nastiness towards Isak has been on a different level and in the last day has crossed the line into just libel imo
Mike (@lpoolmike.bsky.social)
Good on Mo for calling out this disrespectful bullshit. Too many short memories and an obsession with transfers and churn. You can celebrate our future without disparaging our past #LFC #YNWA

And it only didn’t escalate because Sporting saw the writing on the wall and sold him.

Wissa and Gyokeres did it. Seem to remember Gordon kicked off to get his Newcastle move. Collective and selective amnesia. Seems to only matter when a player leaves certain clubs and is going to certain clubs

The spineless cowards leading our government are falling for exactly the same thing. Trying to appease the far right to gain voters which only makes it more likely the far right rises and becomes mainstream. Can see it a mile off and they are still driving us straight to it
Mike (@lpoolmike.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep. Most democrats are too weak and timid. Still think the electorate wants bipartisanship and totally beholden to political consultants and media talking heads. The right wing parties here and there are extremist and fascistic. You can’t negotiate with that you fight it in every way you can.

I think democracy dies in the same way that Ernest Hemingway described how you go bankrupt: “gradually, then suddenly” They are well along the gradual stage and I think the suddenly bit is right around the corner. And there are lots cheering this on that won’t be cheering soon, there and here.

Asylum seekers are not allowed to claim benefits or seek employment yet the right wing press and talking heads have convinced a worryingly large number of our citizens that these poor people are draining our social security coffers AND stealing jobs AND lowering wages. They’ll say anything for power

If you legitimise the policies of the far right the public are going to vote for people who they think genuinely believe those policies. And a former human rights lawyer isn’t that. It’s not difficult and anyone who has read a history book understands it

Yes the percentage win wasn’t as spectacular as the seats because of FPTP but chasing Reform is not the way to help that. Would help if our media wasn’t so thirsty for a bit of fash
Mike (@lpoolmike.bsky.social)
There is a long tradition of great politicians shaping public opinion rather than being led by it. Our Prime Minister chases policies from focus groups and the right wing press like a cat chasing a fucking laser pen. And all it does it legitimise the far right to the general public.
