Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from. I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR." It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.
100% 🙏💚
“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏
They are pushing racism because mindless hate is the only way they can get enough votes. Vote for the people who oppose this nonsense.
“When they tried to talk about the conditions of the British people compared to refugees, do you think they actually want to improve the lives of the British working class? Do they fuck.” Rylan was wrong. Let Curtis tell you why. @turnleftmedia.co.uk
The UK does not want to become "Trumpland 2". #RefugeesWelcome #HumanRights #RuleofLaw
Feeling good after a 3-day weekend? What if this was every week? That is @greenparty.org.uk policy #4DayWeek
Immigrants and Refugees are just scapegoats. They are being used to divert attention. The sooner people see this we can get on with what is actually causing all the problems in society.
Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage. Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants. Don't fall for it.
The Biggest Welfare claimants in the UK. King Charles, £500m a year The 150 Billionaires, average £320m each a year MP's, up to £50,000 each a year. Lets target them.
That would cause havoc in Sainsburys.
I have only one word to say to them. Permaculture. Been saying it for decades.
Spot on @johnharris1969.bsky.social. The Right are hijacking Englishness with narratives of exclusion, exceptionalism & imperial nostalgia,& progressives haven’t even got onto the bloody pitch. We urgently need to tell more compelling stories of who we are #AnotherEngland👇
“They have the same condition and they did it so why can’t you?” Because we’re not the same person. End of “debate”
Most people have no clue what the process is actually like. The assessment is brutal and dehumanising. Everything is subject to cross-examination, and the most intimate aspects of your life are pored through in excruciating detail. Often, only extreme poverty pushes people to apply in the 1st place.
No one gets disability benefits based on simply filling out a form. Even if you don't provide medical evidence, they'll look through your info and records to assess eligibility. Abled folk are super ignorant of what actually happens.
Thank you. 😂💚
Snares are banned in Scotland and Wales, but not here. These medieval torture devices are killing wildlife, for some they face a slow and painful death . Sign our petition to ban snares for good 👇 protectthewild.org.uk/ban-snares/
Keep up the good work people. 🙏💚
A more charitable view on the migrant situation.
Beat me to it. 😊

It's nothing to do with sex. It's about the individual being a true leader and a decent intelligent compassionate human being, regardless of gender, colour, sexuality or anything else. White heterosexual men have caused chaos for thousands of years remember.
First you need a Cow House. 🎼Cow house, in the middle of our street.. Cow house...etc 🎶 Madness. 😊💚
Inequality is at the root of all our problems. Let's invest in our public services.
Same here. Plus Zack knows his onions. 👍💚
Bird shooting helps destroy our land. It must end!
So nice to see a Mayor concerned about the natural world.
I've started adding more protein to my diet. After a few days I am eating less food due to feeling full. Being Vegan I concentrated on B12 and didn't really understand the importance of Protein. Hopefully I will feel more benefits as time passes. Happy Vegan. 🐰🐮🐷🐔😊🙏💚
Reform just tell people whatever they think you want to hear. And of course that includes former Tory Ministers turned Reform. We must hold them to account. Every. Single. Time.
@ineffablerat.bsky.social me and Benny in the morning. 😆💚
Not yet worried about Green Belt loss? Then think again! A stark headline from the 'State of Nature' report for 2023 with declines since 1970. Sobering to think that the once biodiverse, nature-rich UK is now one of the worst for nature on the planet!
Maybe one is connected to the other. The external world is a projection of the "internal foe". I've been looking into this for decades. So it appears to me the battle is two fold. An external one and an internal one. It's no wonder I am so knackered all the time.

Do you mean inside the self, or inside the country? Serious question.
With UK news shows reporting more than 50,000 small boat migrants have crossed the English Channel since Labour came to power now would be a good time to remind Nigel Farage & others that Brexit has been a primary factor in the sky rocketing number of small boat crossings youtu.be/cKXFjbxSBBI?...
I have never seen Qi Gong demonstrated so beautifully. youtu.be/UpN3AcXLSSk?...
Every day this Summer has been a record of how Nigel Farage already runs the country. An endless cycle of hate & racism. One day boat arrivals, the next releasing ethnicity data for crimes, so we can know whether to riot if they’re brown or shrug if they’re white. Back to the 70s🤦♀️ #r4today
Smart! A Raven doing Raven things.
Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.
🦇 There is a diverse range of work carried out - both on the ground and behind the scenes - to help secure the future of bats in our changing world: www.bats.org.uk/our-work . From the National Bat Helpline and the National Bat Montioring Programme, through to collaborative projects and more!
They excuse war crimes. They arm apartheid and genocide. But don't you dare protest for peace. Because that's real terrorism.
🦇Bats live in the countryside, towns and cities across the UK. If you live in a busy urban environment and think there are no bats where you live, think again. Regardless of where you are follow our top tips for bat watching 👇
We need a system where people like Farage are weeded out at the first hurdle. Sick to death of these self interested maniacs. #BackZack 💚
Thank you K.🙏💚
I saw a Raven in our local woods thus year. First time in the 31 years that I've lived here. Animals are spreading and looking for new homes.
How is scaring Sparrowhawks from their prey, domesticating an animal?
My little Dog doesn't do anything to wildlife,. Scaring a wild animal from it's prey is very unethical and must stop,.
This is interference with the natural world. Sparrowhawks need to eat and feed their young too. The birds in your garden are not your birds. They are part of a system of which the Sparrowhawk is also a part. Please respect this, because it's this kind of behaviour that has lead to so many problems.🙏
You speak sense sir. 👍
People are appallingly ignorant about immigration. They don't understand basic things about "net immigration statistics" and have a completely warped sense of what is going on. It is up to the government and the media to educate, but both are too busy batting their eyes at Nigel Farage's voters.
Some may be neurodivergent kids who love being alone. Like I was. 🙏💚
Please sign and share if you can. This summer’s extreme heat and floods show the climate crisis is no longer a warning. It’s a reality. But far-right parties in the EU are turning climate action into a divisive issue: action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-08...
@ineffablerat.bsky.social I love Ravens. Hope we see them tomorrow on our walk. 💚
You could write a book called " The Truth About History".

What most people think "autism is a disability" means... (They literally have no idea) What autism is a disability actually means... - Sensory anxiety that is so debilitating it stops you in your tracks...
Concise bare facts.
Just as scary. 😱
Former Shadow Chancellor Anneliese Dodds has even said Starmer and Reeves should consider a wealth tax. They can only bury their heads in the sand for so long. Now is the time to tax the super-rich properly and close the inequality gap.
Everyone has heard of Trump , Musk, Bezos, Farage et al. But how many have heard of the people that say and do things like this? 🙏💚
This is moving. Kamala Harris feels the pain we feel. Not just from her loss, but from the trauma and abuse our country is living through. What could have been…
All done mate. Good luck. 🙏💚
I love rain. I always say that people who watch rain, are poets without ink or paper.
A very rare quality. Unfortunately.
With you there mate. He gets my vote. 🙏💚
And in his own head.
It's been failing since I was at school in the 70s. When I started work in an EBD unit as a Learning Mentor, I couldn't believe how little improvement there has been. I visited the Krishnamurti school , Brockwood Park in Hampshire. They had the right idea. Total respect for and from young people.
Few people understand Autism. 🙏💚
It saddens me to see Greens attacking Greens. Is their nobody who is above this kind of behaviour? #BackZack
A group of leading economists is urging Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves to introduce a wealth tax to tackle extreme inequality. The Green Party has consistently called for a fairer tax system. Time for Labour to make some different political choices and tax the super-rich fairly.
Let's not forget the MPs who voted to plunge vulnerable people deeper into poverty.
Being able to spend time with these magnificent dinosaur birds the shoebill… 🥰 🐦
The fact that there's not a single right-winger attempting to claim that privatising water turned out well, proves how economically and morally bankrupt the financial policies of the Thatcher era were.
Morning all. 🙏💚
There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...
@mrmoog.bsky.social You and the boy on today's walkies 💙
Let's hope it keeps growing.
Good evening. Hope this cheers somebody up. 🙏💚
Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached. They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others. Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further. #UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.
Your feeling now is conditioned by what you felt yesterday and all the days before. Therefore in meeting a new challenge today, you act in a conditioned manner and therefore you feel pain. —Krishnamurti
Most disabled people don’t claim disability benefits… Many of those would be eligible, but they either choose not to, or are alienated from the process by how horrific it is. People vastly overestimate how many claim, how we are deemed eligible, and how much we get.
I don't like the " one thing " questions. Especially when we live in a society where there are so many bad things.
If your cat brings in a bat please don't release it (even if it looks ok). Seek expert advice - get some gloves and put the bat in a box following our instructions: www.bats.org.uk/advice/help-... and call 0345 1300 228 (UK only). And some advice for cat owners here: www.bats.org.uk/about-bats/t...
We already have one. @greenparty.org.uk . They just don't get the coverage of the others. Hopefully @zackpolanski.bsky.social will put an end to that.
These have been my thoughts all along.
This conflict, this struggling within the cage of thought, is what you call progress. —Krishnamurti

New post: "Why are young women increasingly left-wing?" There's been a lot of focus on young men + the right but less on this much bigger political shift amongst young women. Why is it happening? How could it change politics? (£/free trial) open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/w...
