Back in 2022, I wrote and produced an R&D run @SpaceArtsCentre of a play called GUINEA PIGS. It was a semi-autobiographical comedy/drama set in the 1980s. /1

I wrote a bit of a follow-up for Exposure Press on @GuineaPigsAPlay with my thoughts on my first time writing/producing/acting in a autobiographical piece discussing a topic that's deeply sensitive to many in the nuclear community

First they came for our right to protest.
Then they came for our right to strike.

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

The right to strike is the last resort for workers.

We won't let the government take it away from us.

We cannot let Tories break the Unions
They are trying to remove many workers rights through removal of EU law and the Bill of Rights - as well as anti Union legislation
The time to stay strong is NOW

Dear god, are we honestly back in the 1800s? What are we?

“I took a child home today who was unwell. They’d not eaten for 2 days. I went into the home, there were 7 of them living in a 2 bedroom house, all of them unwell & hungry. I bought food for them..But we have so many families in this situation.”

"We're gonna burn"
Clip of Dad in the late 80s describing Britain's 1st hydrogen bomb. He would've been 85 on Friday but we lost him 20 years before. I shall remember him today, as I do every day. He was, and is, very loved.

This song from 1986 dedicated to @Conservatives (again) and all who vote for them.
36 years on and we're back there again, the #Tories have trashed the country again.

[GUINEA PIGS @GuineaPigsAPlay]

@FeralJacobs Thank you for sharing

[GUINEA PIGS @GuineaPigsAPlay]

#SuellaBraverman calling protesters "militants and extremists" - semantically packed language many associate with terrorism. She's urged #Police to take tougher action.
This makes the police a political tool and us a police state.

It's begun. Wake up. It's happening.

[Greenham Women Everywhere @GreenhamWomen]

Women, join us at Aldermaston Women's Peace Camp for #EmbraceTheBase from 9th - 11th December 🏕️

We will be weaving webs, celebrating the spiders & crows and resisting nuclear weapons through co-learning, connection and creativity

This is why @ElinDoyle wrote Guinea Pigs.

[Elin Ní Dhubhghaill @ElinDoyle]

Dad was there
LIGHT so bright he could see through his hands covering his eyes
HEAT so intense to the point he said 'we're gonna burn'
SHOCKWAVE knocked him off his feet
SWAM in sea next day
RADIATION caused a heart condition & birth defect in his child
Dad died when I was 32
