I just signed the petition calling on Fujitsu to be held to account for their role in the Post Office scandal. Will you sign too? #PostOfficeScandal https://t.co/vwSTxm5K8T via @38degrees
Saw The Great Escaper yesterday, beautiful and emotional film. A sublime Glenda Jackson in her final role & Michael Caine, both masters of their craft. We watched at indie cinema Kino Teatr in St Leonards, then walked home past locations in the film. #TheGreatEscaper#StLeonards
@emmylouscutt@KarenAverby @IrenaBarker @Kate_Bod Soho Theatre/WF Council seemed vague about restoring the organ - it was a 'we would like to' rather than we definitely will'. The enormous budget could have included organ & big screen restoration in the main auditorium but looks like there was no serious desire.
There has been much discussion about the likely failure of Thames Water in the last day or so. I’ve been looking at the accounts of England’s water companies for the last twenty years. My conclusion is that they are all environmentally insolvent. So, a thread…..
I saw Prima Facie in London last year, I heard it was going to Broadway and booked tickets, tonight I was lucky to see it again. Once more blown away by Jodie Comer's magnificent performance. Bravo all involved and good luck for the Tony's on Sunday ❤️ @estreetprods#PrimaFacie
In 1982, actor and proud Londoner Bob Hoskins took Barry Norman on a riverside walk along London's South Bank, where he made his feelings pretty clear on how he thought the redevelopment of the area was going.
This is Lord Rothermere the Daily Mail Owner.
He lives in a mansion in Monaco, he pays tax in France and identifies as French.
The Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and it pays no tax anywhere.
That is his ‘Patriotism’.

A friend from Denmark sent me this article from @derspiegel - it is so depressing to read. Even though I'm living through it in #BrexitBritain it is such a shock to read about it in such long detail. The iniquities of bloody #brexit just keep on & on & on https://t.co/wbv1gKtWHU

Five weeks until Hastings Jack in the Green procession winds it's way through the Old Town up to West Hill. My painting is an amalgamation of favourite costumes from last year. It's the May page in my 2023 Hastings, still a few copies left:

@ashman_alan@alanashman5 Yes! My father Allan (known as Jack) was your uncle. He died in 1979. I remember your parents at the funeral I think of my Gt Aunt Lily in 1980. I can DM you some photos if you wish to follow me back. My dear mum died a few weeks ago and it got me thinking about my Somerset roots
In the 1950s, when I was a child, CEOs made about 20x more than the average worker.
In the 1980s when I was mayor of Burlington, CEOs made 42x more.
In 2000, when I was in the House, CEOs made about 120x more.
Today, they're making almost 400x more.
Unacceptable.
@IanMartin Hello Ian, my dear mum Pamela Ashman died unexpectedly on 11th February. She was an extraordinary lady who bore many hard knocks and was a widow for last 43 years. I owe so much to her. Here she is just a few months ago on her 89th birthday.#RememberedMums23
Happy March Day. Time to turn the page on my Hastings calendar and it's Hill Street, looking towards St Clements Church.
