The decline of protest politics has been a slow and painful realisation for some.
In 2011 Occupy we were 'the 99%', after 2015 GE the 75% (not Tory voters), after 2016 the 48% & now aspiring to #3.5%.
A decade wasted. Shouting not listening.

In the spirit of retro since yesterday's report here's my brush with the authoritarian Council leadership. There was leadership, it was just very, very bad! https://t.co/mGSE0FhLCY

My line for Council today that: 'a. Notes the recent application to the High
Court by Sheffield City Council to commit Cllr Alison Teal to prison.' was deleted for inaccuracy. This what the court thought.

@roymouno The very same.

@MyPawIsStuck @rob_w_r @SheffieldGreens #Sheffield's 30 year waste contact signed by @SheffLibDems in 2001 with no provision for doorstep recycling.
Sounds like they're trying to blame the Greens for a problem they caused...

[Rob Murphy @RobMurphy2012]

This should be seen as an opportunity for @TheGreenParty not a threat. But it would require us making the environment our priority.

[John Nicolay @johnnicolay]

I hate this prick, and I esp hate that he’s right about stuff like this: it’s critical in western democracies that combatting climate change is *not* seen as something only the left cares about or only the left can fix or that requires policies that also advance other left goals.

Great article by @colin__drury exploring the younger years of @kylewalker2 when @SheffieldUnited.

I used to play football with him on Langdon St (#Sharrow) when younger and was easy to see he would make it to the top back in early 2000s

Greece was ruined by an unholy alliance of its ruling class and Brussels. Despite that, I thought Brexit would hurt the weakest in the UK & so opposed it. But having watched the disgraceful behaviour of hard remainers & of Brussels post-2016, I changed my tune.

@NancyFielder @SheffieldStar Ironically @DanJarvisMP is the only person in South Yorkshire with the power to regulate bus fares... 🙄

@profanityswan They've lost their bargaining position. For years they've bullied the other clubs by threatening to leave. Now everybody knows they won't. Time for the pyramid to #TakeBackControl.
