This fella broke into New Song Studios being built at a youth centre in Old Trafford and stole thousands of pounds worth of equipment. Can we find him and recover the stuff that was earmarked for the use of the next generation of musicians?

The ewe (on the left lambed a stillborn.She cried most of the night longing for her lamb after we removed it.
The ewe on the right lambed very small twins last wk. It seems that today she has given o1 of her twins to the grieving mother to raise as her own.

This is an important moment in the history of our democracy. There’s a comprehensive assault on basic civil liberties - the right to strike, right to protest peacefully & right of journalists to report without arrest. Time has come for a new movement to defend our civil liberties

4 months of meetings and then arrested before even starting. Unbelievable

Even now, years later I still feel as strongly about Brexit as I did.
My European passport, my identity, taken away along with my freedom to live and work across so many countries.
It is unforgivable and I reject with every fibre of my being what this country has become.

The establishment wants you to drink up the fantasy the Monarchy embodies the “best of Britain”. It’s the opposite.
It’s the enduring embodiment of the worst of Britain: inherited wealth + privilege, a rigid class system, structural racism, imperialism, and unaccountable power.

'What tax payer money bought was a coronation, much like the screens assembled to hide King Charles as he derobed, that for a moment erected an ornate cover that hid the nation’s hunger.'

The electoral playing field in Turkey is made unfair in millions of small ways.
Yesterday, opposition had a rally in Istanbul. Today, AKP had their rally in Istanbul.
Only 1 day had free public transport to the rally
Guess which one?
This is who we must beat, no matter what.

AKP’nin Atatürk Havalimanı’nda mitingi olduğu gün Marmaray ücretsiz. Eğer miting günleri ücretsiz olacaksa dün de öyle olmalıydı. Prensip olarak “Devlet”vatandaşlarına aynı mesafede durmalı.

It's come to my attention again that few people have any idea what the government's "stop the boats" illegal migration bill does, so:
It ends the right to seek asylum in the UK.
No decsions. No applications will be processed. From Afghans to Albanians. Limbo forever for all.

The sense of entitlement here, that these people can make such a mess and expect others to clear up after them.

I don't know about you but my favourite bit was where the Archbishop of Canterbury drew equivalence between Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and Charles' sacrifice on the throne. #Coronation2023

RIP to the wonderful singer Linda Lewis---she's in the audience in A Hard Day's Night ("I’m the one with the little baby Afro trying to listen to the music while everyone around me is screaming") & it's her backing vocals that truly make "Panic In Detroit"

The protestors Sunak maligns make huge personal sacrifices with no hope of, or even desire for, personal gain. Their motivations might be alien to people like Rishi Sunak, for whom value is only measured in money, but "selfish" is the very opposite of what they are.

Deeply religious, unnecessary and expensive - The coronation ceremony will reflect the dominance of the Church of England in the affairs of our head of state. It should prompt a serious debate on the future relationship between Church and state.

Britons have the worst access to healthcare of any country in Europe, with waiting lists triple the EU average. That's what 13 years of Tory government have done to the NHS.

Baroness Brady of Knightsbridge omits to say underpaid teachers are using their own money to buy school supplies for their pupils, bringing in food for their pupils, sourcing shoes & clothing for their pupils because this Government is failing our children, carers, and educators. twitter.com/karren_brady/s

Isn’t it amazing how, on an NHS strike day, the government cares so much about the risk to patients while on non-strike days, when government policies have put patients at great risk (which is why, after all, nurses and docs are striking), it doesn’t give a f**k about patients?
