Blessed Solstice to all. If you're at the stones enjoy. If you're somewhere else special to you you're likely better off.....

Just had to fill in the application form to renew my blue badge and hand delivered. 14 pages of which 12 I had to fill in. Taken two weeks and still have to get a photo taken and sent in. I swear it was as difficult and stressful as a PiP form. #BlueBadge #DisabilityBenefits

If you’ve never had to fill in the form, try to collect all the supporting evidence and then been through a PIP assessment. If you've never had your condition dismissed by a stranger. If you've never lived in terror of the brown envelope. Then your opinion on PIP is worthless. #DisabilityBenefits

Incredibly, things seem to have got even shitter since I drew this cartoon, which is in the current Private Eye. Signed prints available, DM me for details.

Facebook Portal. Yes I know it's 'Old Tech' but being disabled it was useful for reminders and the Alexa function, video calls and Spotify. Meta's deliberate withdrawing of these systems / apps is bordering on criminal. Do you think I could get a refund from Amazon?

Yet another part of my past gone. A favourite song when I DJed in the late '70's and into the '80's as a Last Song of The Evening. youtu.be/d8_fLu2yrP4?...

Good morning lovely phone family. Another wet and cold day here. How's it looking for you? When I speak to homeless folk, they're as grateful for the time and effort of those chatting to them as much as financial or practical support. We all need kindness 🥰 Have a great day 😘 #HaveCourageAndBeKind

Public Transport should be free. No tickets, no ticket barriers, no cameras, no enforcement, no profits. Why isn't it?

Life - It's really not that complicated. You have two options: Be kind, or be cruel. A decent person chooses to be kind.

Our NHS is not for sale. Trump will ask for access to the NHS for US firms as part of any trade deal. Tell Starmer our NHS is off the table for any negotiations in any proposed trade deal with the USA. 38d.gs/82rc

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

This should be a given but sadly some people are only too happy to post details of the injuries suffered by the three girls at the hands of Axel Rudakubana Merseyside Police’s plea Please share 🙏

51 years and 190 days. It costs around £51k a year to keep a Cat A prisoner locked up. So if the bastard makes it that's over £2 million. 10 metres of quality 40mm hemp rope capable of holding considerable weight can be bought for less than £160. #AxelRudakubana

Peripheral neuropathy, great thing to have. Go to cut some wire with a Stanley knife and take out the base of your thumb as well.... Can't decide whether to super glue it or just add it to the interesting hand scars collection. Proper wire cutters ordered.

Ah well.... Physiotherapist ain't too happy. Not worried about me and doing the exercises, that's OK. Problem is the top of left leg muscle tone is vanishing before my / their eyes. Upshot is the buggers won't discharge me. #HipReplacement

I can't phone the dentist either. Mind you that's because no dentist within 40 mile is taking on new NHS business and others are insisting on a monthly insurance policy before they will even consider taking you on.

With the increase in hard overnight frosts now is a good time to drain the summer air out of your tyres and refill them with winter air. Winter air will balance the temperatures inside your tyre with the ambient temperature outside. Follow me for more useful Driving and Vehicle Maintenance tips.
