rather than our rights

calls in his henchmen

far right factions are mustered

Purdown battery

Where once AA guns
fired upon German bombers
keeping Bristol safe
natural wild overgrowth
thrives in the concrete ruins

Dirty, rotten scoundrels
Without contrition

The self-styled ‘king of the world’
shows his true colours again
by Scooj
I didn’t think that I could be upset by Boris Johnson any more. He represents nothing that I believe in, but by jingo he has done it again by his pathetic and snivelling defence of Dominic Cummings’ wrongdoings. Remember this lot will ‘win at any cost’. Well sometimes good governance is not about winning, but is about learning from mistakes and moving on, bringing the people with you for the greater good. I am so saddened by what is going on.
“I will not be silent”

and huge conviction
inspires young and old alike
we’ll not be silent

On seeing students heading towards lectures this morning…
The world at their feet
living life, learning, loving
how I envy them
It was my time long ago
and I would love to return
