@JMcFrederick I haven’t written on it, Jan & Jillian, but it’s a fascinating angle. The work of @LizBaz is essential reading here for her brilliant writing on Beckett, the body, the mind & ageing.

[Tommy Love @Tomw990]

Last year I wrote a short film about 2 young men gearing up for violence because of anger; on the surface because of Brexit and losing their perceived identity but much deeper, anger at being left behind and ignored.

It was of course madly absurd, but maybe I'll dig it out. #NI

The lies put on the side of a bus five years ago almost cost a bus driver his life tonight. Deep concern isn’t enough. When are you going to start owning this mess?
