15,000 people marched through London for clean water yesterday. Barely a mention in mainstream media. We marched to tell the government to do its job. We marched for our rivers, lakes and seas. We marched to stop profit from pollution. We marched for our children’s future.

As the waters recede it’s not hard to see why so many have lost their lives in and around Valencia. Recovery will take years and cost billions.

Why aren’t young people working? youtu.be/fYzAWA6VZQw?si… Thirty-eight per cent of young people who could work are not doing so. They’re not lazy, or indifferent. Nor have they dropped out. They just can’t fit into the machinery of conformism that modern employers demand of them.…

Re-reading this. Written in 1985 but amazingly prescient on the way the electronic screens trivialise culture, politics and public discourse. I think it's one of the genuinely great and prophetic twentieth century polemics.

Politics isn't working. It's time to call time on the broken culture in Westminster and have a fresh start with a fair voting system. Add your name to @electoralreform's call to #MakeSeatsMatchVotes action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/3782/peti…

When the UK was in the EU, it was subject to the water framework directive (WFD): it had to carry out detailed pollution analysis of waterways every year. A survey hasn’t been done under the WFD since 2019. Become a citizen scientist! Details below. theriverstrust.org/take-action/th…

Remember: EVERYONE is hurt by misogyny! Just as a patriarchal society will always dictate that young girls act polite & kind when they get sexualized or shamed, so too does it dictate that young boys act resilient & stoic in the face of any cruelty or violence directed at them.
