For once an article in @guardian that treats a trans person fairly, albeit a celeb.

The Russian military has targeted the Kyievo-Pecherska Lavra monastery in Kyiv. It is burning. 😥
I visited it in the late 1980s. It is said that when you enter it your sins are forgiven. I went in & out of the gate three times just to be on the safe side.

This is Sarah Pochin - Reform UK MP for Runcorn - @SarahForRuncorn
Sarah doesn't want to see black or Asian people on her TV.
She said: “It drives me mad seeing adverts full of black and Asian people.”
This sort of racism is abhorrent, and she must resign.
RT if you agree.

I'm trying to find the title of a science fiction story where a human undertakes an experiment to inhabit the mind of a fish.
Ring a bell with anyone?

Tony Blair says Starmer was wrong to follow the Chilcot checklist.

1949. Paul Robeson sings 'The Ballad of Joe Hill' to Scottish miners.
Robeson was a childhood hero of mine - I think it was initially because we shared a name, but the more I learnt about him the more my respect and admiration grew.
