In case it is of interest
Also- it’s time. Being going back and forth on this decision for over a year. But I can’t in all conscience stay. In a week or so, Bluesky it is wholesale.

Our government tried to let racist, genocidal Israeli football hooligans rampage on Birmingham's streets.
They smeared those opposed to this as being driven by hatred of Jewish people.
Now listen to what the West Midlands Chief Constable told MPs.
What a scandal.

Hadn’t heard this before , but it’s so sad that all these years later, it is so fitting! We have learned nothing.
When I try to find a job
To earn a little cash
All you got to offer
Is your mean, old, white backlash
But the world is big
Big and bright and round
And it's full of folks like me
Who are black, yellow, beige, and brown
Just what do you think I got to lose?
I'm gon' leave you with the backlash blues

Today was dark and wet and the house needed cleaned… so I watched 3 cheesy Xmas films and used the breaks to undertake a task or prepare part of tonight’s meal. Now I feel stupidly Xmasy in a clean house. May need to make some Xmas cards tomorrow☺️
