Here's a calming minute of Barmston Beach, until a big wave SPOILED EVERYTHING

BREAKING: Arrest Warrants Issued for Benjamin Netanyahu & Yoav Gallant The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued the warrants for Israeli Prime Minister & former defence secretary "for crimes against humanity and war crimes." Better Late Than Never

Capitalism punishes hard work.

According to the government's own figures, means-testing Winter Fuel Payments will push 50,000–100,000 more pensioners into poverty annually. In the sixth largest economy, no-one should have to choose between heating or eating. That’s why I voted against this harmful policy.

Hello! If you oppose NHS privatisation please could you repost this and follow me? I need to know who to follow next (it’ll be you!) ⭐️💙

This has been a vital message Netpol has promoted vigorously on the other place: blue bibbed "police liaison officers" at protests are intelligence gatherers, you do not need to speak to them, so don't

An inconvenient truth for Labour: NHS privatisation is entirely un-evidence based and the public has never agreed to it. All evidence, in fact, is that privatisation is: 1) more expensive for taxpayers, and 2) has worse outcomes for patients

Our next Loudhailer Electric Company gig is at The New Adelphi Club, Hull on Fri 13th Dec. All proceeds go to an important charity, Hull Help for Refugees. We're expecting a good busy night. If you're in the area, come and join the fun and support the cause. #musicsky

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

When matter crosses the boundary of that black void, it is never seen in our Universe again. Inside the black hole space & time splinter. We have literally seen to the end of space & time.

Do you have the time, to listen to me whine, about nothing and everything all at once? You do? Excellent - follow button is just there.

I'm now disabled. At what point did I become a skiver after nearly forty years of work?
