Reform have totally let the cat out of the bag about who they are.

Zia Yusuf lecturing that poverty and peoples everyday struggles with rising bills and rent is exaggerated.

A party of the failed status quo, funded and representing big corporate interests.

*Academic sells history off to the highest bidder*

There, BBC, we sorted that headline for you

If he truly feels *a connection* to the find, as the article claims, would he not have donated it to a museum?

So disappointing.
Archaeology and history belong to us all, not just the wealthy.
Has it been studied? Conserved properly? Published?
Just depriving the rest of us of knowledge and understanding.

I've said it before but, in the absence of proper regulation and the licensing of metal detecting, then we must rely on the good old fashioned fairy curses attached to each and every hoard. Let the folk beyond the veil sort it out. 🏺🪙🧚🏼‍♂️☠️

Disturbing figures reveal the true cost of metal detectoring to our country. The system is a mess.

Been recording new stuff, and exploring ideas.

Every time I see this axe head...
Is it about time that someone told @wiltshiremuseum.bsky.social that their "Tourmaline stone axe" is actually made of cheese?

Given the state of the States, isn't it time the UK started having a conversation about removing their military bases from our territory?

If #AI has the time to sit around making bad art and writing worse poetry, then I have a list of chores as long as my arm for it to be getting on with.

If you're still following the 1930s analogy, I think we've reached the bit where the Sudetenland has just been invaded, and the UK still has Neville Chamberlain as PM.

One of the Palestine Action folks hurt someone.

*One*

He should (rightly) be punished.

As to other 28, why have they not been granted bail?

They committed targeted criminal damage to weapons/parts made by Israeli owned company to commit genocide.

PA are not terrorists.

This govt stinks. 😔

Has anyone in #Reform ever apologised for racism? Surely racism is their USP, and although previously it's been kind of covert, they're now proudly, overtly racist? Disgusting people.

This is ridiculous. There clearly has not been a 660% increase in terrorism
in the UK over the past year.

How much is it costing the criminal justice system to arrest and prosecute all these people for the crime of wearing a t-shirt or holding a placard?

Terrorism arrests soar by 660% after Palestine Action ban
Official figures show 1,630, or 86%, of the 1,886 arrests for terrorism-related activity in the year to the end of September 2025 were linked to supporting the group.

This Friday we'll be playing for BASE's 30th anniversary. Proud to have played a part in its long history.

I enjoyed #Threads for a while, but it's now swamped in so much AI video nonsense, that it's time to leave. Sick of it all tbh.

This weekend we've got the awesome, amazing @floatingfayre on the towpath in Bradford on Avon, Wilts. Part craft market, part Traveller social, part winter festival, it's always a joy to be part of. Looking forward to seeing old friends perform, and having a good catch-up.

Just to say we'll be at the finest of all Wiltshire pubs, @thebarge_honeystreet @campingatthebarge on the 30/8/25 for the @floatingfayre. We'll be playing in the pub from about 9pm, but there's live music all day, plus the market.

Live at Glastonbury 2025, playing Spinning Jenny, a classic English triple hornpipe. Good old Rimski's Yard. Many thanks to @rimskihandkerchief as always for hosting with style and grace. We're going to miss it during the fallow year.

Glastonbury set times for you! Bringing the og Wessex Soundsystem Trad Folk Rave vibe once again, this time with a new expanded line-up. We're running on festival time, so hopefully you'll get that Saturday night 12.30am is technically Sunday morning.
