Exasperated. Gutted. Furious. Terrified. Sometimes swear words are the only ones that fit.
Our delightful government - who we put our trust in - is u-turning on THE easiest Nature action *ever*.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries

Not sure the man responsible for this poster is best placed to lecture anyone else on taking politics “into the gutter”.

Nationalise and rationalise school apps.
One app to rule them all..

The altar

Things were better when computer was in room. Now everywhere is computer. This is bad. Computer should never have escaped room.

This must be a watershed moment. The government's continued use of X is no longer simply negligent. It is an act of conscious assistance to violent extremism.

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

Life’s getting a bit more crap here if you are a person from an ethnic minority 🧵

It really does. It’s a properly special thing. It was on the decline in the late 2010s but cancelling it in Covid year seems to have given it a real boost again and it’s bloody brilliant.

And there’s also a brilliant little Greenhill art gallery showing the fabulous Widdershins exhibition featuring folklore and fantasy pieces by Alan Lee (of Lord of the Rings fame) amongst others. It’s been wonderful.

Risk assessments are for wimps, obviously

…not to get all political but this sort of joy and creativity and unabashed silliness is what we all need right now

Have enjoyed an excellent few days back home in the shire (Dartmoor). Carnival was a particular highlight…

Very good, I’m so impressed with everyone’s efforts. My very small contribution was helping my mum dress up as a lettuce…

I was going to post something about my last 24 hours in the hometown but Jon has summed it up very well here

Polling from @Moreincommon_ on Lucy Connolly

More than half think her sentence was too lenient or about right. Only a third that it was too harsh.

Only 18% think politicians should associate themselves her, while 51% think they should actively distance themselves from her.

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works:
1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off.
2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

Yikes - the land surrounding the Cerne Abbas Giant is up for sale!
