@TonyFlavin0 I’m in central Portugal, not far from the point of maximum occlusion (did I get that right?). It was overcast and just got very slightly darker for about half an hour. 🤷♂️
I’m home now. Rick Rowe, the Green Party candidate has been given my personal information by the police. He let it slip tonight, when he deliberately came to the Chiswick pub that he sent the police to who acted on his orders (see my previous video). If I do not post on here in the morning, it means that the police have again acted on the orders of a Green Party candidate and have arrested me. I hope that I am able to post tomorrow morning, but seriously, please kick up a fuss with whoever you can if you don’t see a post from me by 9am British time. Really appreciate your support in these difficult times. Thank you.
I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.
A family friend taught English in a grammar school that became a comprehensive, at which point she was told kids from estates wouldn't understand poetry so there's no point teaching it to them. It's what George W Bush called "the soft bigotry of low expectations"
@Adrian_Hilton No vision, no ambition, and - even worse - no courage. As someone else has recently observed, it’s as though they’ve won power with no idea of what to do with it; as if winning were an end in itself.
