The wonderful @zackpolanski.bsky.social reminded me of this poem recently by the late, great Benjamin Zephaniah. This is Britain!

I so miss Benjamin Zephaniah. We need him now!

Reality just doesn't register with these people , oes it? They are so utterly self-absorbed that they actually do not see what is going on around them.

I was toasty when it got down to -11 degrees Celsius last year here in the north of Scotland.

I've gone green, and my bills, without the standing charge, are £8 per month, or £96 per year. Wouldn't it be great if the government in England were as forward-thinking as the one in Scotland that allowed me to cut my bills by 93% by going green?

Calling all racists, calling all racists! 😂 Just over 400 years after we got rid of one lot of nut jobs, we are set to get rid of another wave, thanks to Trump. I can only cheer (and profusely apologise once again to our Native American friends, sorry).

My energy bills have fallen by 93% (yes you read that right) thanks the SNP/Greens lead Scottish government. Labour are doing better than the self-serving Tories, I'll grant you, but to quote the economist Paul Lewis, Things Are Better In Scotland, so whats my incentive not to vote for independance?

Jeez, more like shitty flu with a throat that feels like im swallowing razors every time I eat.

Im sorry, I cannot believe Eric has 4 friends. Thats a gross overestimate, surely? One imaginary, maybe.

As long as Johnson, Odey, Farage, Gove, and Rees Mogg pays the lions share (as in all of it), I'm good with these taxes.

Brexit caused our drop, Trump caused America's. Its like right wing politics are shite for the people of the country.

Apropos of nothing. Did you ever hear about what happened in France in 1792?

If Farage gets in, we will have civil war just like they have in America now that Trump is in. He will wreck everything in the same incompetent way that their councillors are wrecking their councils, and Trump is wrecking America. Just because they sound confident doesn't mean they are competent.

Until theyre helping ordinary working families theyre not doing the right thing. Theyre just perpetuating the mistakes that got us where we are now; putting business before people.
