@paranoiacs Absolutely wonderful album. Very strange that it was recorded in Wood Green, around the corner from where I work. It’s difficult to think of a place that is more at odds with the atmosphere of the songs!

#ThoughtForTheDay

Pigeons get called sky rats.

But birds like these once carried messages through gunfire when every radio failed.

And the part most people miss is this.

For thousands of years humans relied on pigeons to move information faster than any technology available at the time. Their homing instinct is so precise that a trained bird released hundreds of miles away can still navigate straight back to its loft.

That simple biological skill made them invaluable in war.

During World War I and World War II, armies deployed hundreds of thousands of pigeons. When telephone wires were cut and radio signals failed, commanders often had only one reliable way to send a message through chaos.

In 1918 a Pigeon named Cher Ami carried a desperate note from trapped American troops in the Argonne Forest. The bird was shot through the chest and lost part of a leg during the flight but still delivered the message, helping stop friendly artillery fire and saving nearly two hundred soldiers.

Today their descendants wander city sidewalks, pecking quietly for crumbs.

Most people see a nuisance.

History once saw a lifeline with wings.

@neilmlomax Amazing album.

@FDisrespector @AdamPollock He has the same mandate (or lack of one) as every other PM for however long we’ve had this system. He may or may not be an electoral liability - that’s for Labour to decide. I’m a Labour member and I want him to stay. If I turn out to be wrong, then I’m wrong. That’s politics.

[The Anderson Tapes @AndersonTapes]

@Darnelsipplepix @AdamPollock He does have a personal mandate of sorts, as I and others have explained elsewhere. How well or not he is doing, and whether he will last the whole term, are separate matters from this. The latter is in the control of Labour MPs only.

[The Anderson Tapes @AndersonTapes]

@FDisrespector @AdamPollock It doesn’t matter. If you win by 1 vote you still win. It’s not a presidential system, he doesn’t need a huge personal vote or following to have a mandate. He was just the leader of the party that won the most seats. If people don’t like it they can vote Labour out next time.

[The Anderson Tapes @AndersonTapes]

@AdamPollock @Darnelsipplepix They were elected using the same system as always. The problem is with the electoral system, which is not their fault. The same system has disproportionately benefited the Tories in the past, this time it just happened to benefit Labour.

[The Anderson Tapes @AndersonTapes]

@AdamPollock Technically we vote for the individual candidate? But mostly people are voting for a party, ideologically or tactically. A PM is not a president but if they have the confidence of the Commons they have a mandate. That’s the system.

@SaulStaniforth Angela Rayner was a care worker and trade union activist. Many Labour MPs in the past came from working class backgrounds and became involved in politics through trade unions. There should be more MPs like this, of course, but is not like it’s unknown.

BREAKING: Bruce Springsteen at the light of day concert, tells ICE that they should get the f**k out of Minneapolis.

“ICE should get the f**k out of Minneapolis! If you believe in the power of the law and that no one stands above it. If you stand against heavily, armed, masked federal troops invading an American city, using Gestapo tactics against their fellow citizens, if you believe you don't deserve to be murdered for exercising your American right to protest, and send a message to this president and as a mayor of the city has said, ‘ICE, you get the f**k out of Minneapolis.’”

@ITVNewsPolitics @PeterAdamSmith Well done @PeterAdamSmith
