The interesting thing about humans, is that we have different talents. Mine isn’t maths . Yours might not be music,
@RishiSunak
. But I won’t make it compulsory for you. A thriving economy benefits from all our variable talents, not just the one you know. Think big.
I am so sorry to hear that

I’ll just park this here. No laughing matter: the UK now has the highest coronavirus death rate as a proportion of population of any country in the world.
Wouldn’t it be great to know that in this life -you get that one chance at driving through change, something which would impact thousands , AND leave a lasting and great legacy?

Happy birthday, Mr!
Please consider eating less, or no meat.(and defo. try to use small farm producers) It’s a win, win for the planet and your descendants . It’s cheaper to live, you feel much better ,
And you remove your investment in the cruel+dangerous mass producing meat systems.

Removing the more controversial statues isn't lying about our history , but rather embracing a more civil, context rich, fair and intelligent future.
@BorisJohnson
Tomorrow we'll be filming a new kind of statue .
That of a positive role model whose achievements are beyond
doubt +born from their own hard work
I'm here in Cardiff to film the unveiling of the first ever statue of a Welsh female ( non mythological).
Onwards.

17 year old in tears now:(rise of fascism+climate change). How fucked is this world? Why aren't normal, intelligent people ceasing to eating mass produced meats/chicken+ fish? its not that big of a deal but changes so much re environmental impact.+ vote for progress not opposite?
This is a D chord . Grab that guitar, tune it up ( loads of great apps/youtube posts for that) and find this shape. It’s just a triangle shape pressing across 3 strings. Play it a while. Tomorrow I’ll be back for another

-releasing a 5CD boxset in Aug:' Make Hay Not War' 1996-2001 : 4 studio albums, bonus tracks, b-sides, alternative mixes , demos and previously unreleased songs 😳 oo err :)
Pre-order it here:
Thinking a lot about nuance. About different perspectives. About how dangerous it is to assume. About how democracy is so weakened by manipulation of information and language. Sometimes I despair.
When those in the very seat of power and lawmaking breech or break the laws of the land it makes a full mockery of the very institution they are voted in to represent,and all those associated. You’d expect it of Putin/autocrats but here+democracy??
@BorisJohnson
you must resign.
