Belligerent old lefty who shouts at Tories (both colours) on the radio. Retired teacher, half-hearted gardener, domestic slacker, writer of doggerel.
While my father said grace, my maternal grandfather, Ernest, would whisper that Tories would starve working people for an extra sixpence profit - it should be the unions to whom we gave thanks for the food on our plates, not any God. He was right. Ernest died in February, 1976.

Clive Lewis listening to David Lammy in the commons yesterday.
I’d like Liz Kendall to do a real job, nursing, teaching, cleaning, something low paid where she’s on her feet all day, maybe on call at weekends, no expense account, something physically draining, and I’d like her to do that job, full time, until she is 70. Thank you.
Probably the saddest analysis I have ever heard. Everything, absolutely everything the allies did, lives lost fighting against atrocities in 2 world wars, steps taken after establishing rules, UN, ICC, ICJ, all destroyed by Israeli govt The Allies now support the atrocities #Gaza

Pretty sure ‘teenage mayor disaster’ was a plot used in Parks and Recreation. This won’t end well. #C4News
Davis Lammy is brittle with corruption, puffed-up with dirty lies, deaf to the screams of starving children. War criminal.
Spoke to the Foreign Secretary this morning about the situation in Gaza - here's a brief clip...
Note the date. Some things don’t change.
For someone who doesn’t care what people say about her and who’s off Twitter because ‘life’s too short’, Kirstie Allsopp seems to post a lot of tweets defending her privileged condescension.
Twenty years ago today police led by Cressida Dick stormed on a train and executed Jean-Charles de Menezes with impunity after mistaking him for a criminal. No Police have ever been held accountable. The head of CPS at the time was one Keir Starmer. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/twenty…
A sitting Welsh Conservative MS currently under investigation by the Senedd’s standard’s watchdog has defected to Reform UK ✍️ @EPriceJourno nation.cymru/news/tory-ms-d…
I cannot watch this bollocks anymore. #PoliticsLive
Isreal are the ones with the bombs and they are the aggressor, you stupid arsehole Fox! #PoliticsLive
Wow, this Tory is a real shit. Killing kids is justice, somehow? I hope he rots in hell with that Fox cunt. #PoliticsLive
The UK government says it is doing everything it can to alleviate suffering in Gaza. The UK government won’t suspend the sale of F-35 parts to Israel. The UK government won’t stop the use of RAF Akrotiri or end military cooperation. The UK government won’t accept the ICJ…
Officers are deployed at key points along the route as well as the form up point. There are additional officers in the vicinity of the counter protest. This week we have also distributed leaflets and deployed signage as a clear reminder about relevant offences.

Doctors are essential to life. What a shameful panel, none of whom have suffered from 40 years of austerity - especially that fascist cunt from the Lords. #PoliticsLive
