Last time I checked, no 'benefit scrounger' had ever accepted £20m in bungs from crypto billionaires, claimed £25,000 in second home allowance while living rent free with mum and dad or given a property developer a huge tax break for a £14,000 donation

Why is it I wonder that water companies are furiously resisting having to measure exactly how much sh*t they dump into our rivers and why are govt, Ofwat and the EA letting them away with it?

Annie French, born in Govan on the 6th February 1872, was a Scottish illustrator and one of a group of artists known as The Glasgow Girls. Her illustrations are both ethereal and beautiful.

Last three dates (for the time being) of my 'Getting Through it' show about the death of my son, and me recovering from Covid. Recovery and hope in the show, along with scenes from all who helped me.

Sir Ian McKellen recites a pro immigration speech by William Shakespeare 400 years ago on Steven Colbert's show

The speech itself -often called 'The Strangers’ Case' - comes from a section of Sir Thomas More that is widely believed to be written in Shakespeare’s own hand and includes a plea for compassion toward immigrants

Here's the full section from The Strangers’ Case:

(from The Book of Sir Thomas More, Act 2 Scene 4 — attributed to Shakespeare)

MORE:

Grant them removed, and grant that this your noise

Hath chid down all the majesty of England;

Imagine that you see the wretched strangers,

Their babies at their backs and their poor luggage,

Plodding to the ports and coasts for transportation,

And that you sit as kings in your desires,

Authority quite silent by your brawl,

And you in ruff of your opinions clothed;

What had you got? I’ll tell you: you had taught

How insolence and strong hand should prevail,

How order should be quelled; and by this pattern

Not one of you should live an aged man,

For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,

With self‑same hand, self reason, and self right

Would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes

Would feed on one another.

Say now the king,

Should so much come too short of your great trespass

As but to banish you — whither would you go?

What country, by the nature of your error,

Should give you harbour? Go you to France or Flanders,

To any German province, to Spain or Portugal,

Nay, anywhere that not adheres to England —

Why, you must needs be strangers: would you be pleased

To find a nation of such barbarous temper

That, breaking out in hideous violence,

Would not afford you an abode on earth,

Whet their detested knives against your throats,

Spurn you like dogs, and like as if that God

Owed not nor made not you, nor that the elements

Were not all appropriate to your comforts,

But charter’d unto them? What would you think

To be thus used? This is the strangers’ case,

And this your mountainish inhumanity.

[Good Law Project @GoodLawProject]

Farage is lying about the ECHR. He says it’s letting immigrants in, but the numbers don’t match.

He’s not trying to fix immigration, he’s trying to scrap the law that stops the government from legally stripping your fundamental rights.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Nigel Farage wants to take these human rights away from you.

Which of them don't you want?

In loving memory of the one and only Prunella Scales, here is my favourite photo of her. I’m sure there is a story that Sam later worked in the same theatre and had the same dressing room, but I can’t find it at the moment. It’s such a great photo though. Sleep well, Pru ❤️
