@MichaelRosenYes 👏👏👏

Note on US capitalism: leaving aside the politics why they do it, when the US gives aid/interest free loans etc to other countries which those countries use to buy US arms, that's the US state pump-priming US industry. Not so capitalist then.

My little brother asked me why everything suddenly seems so fucked - and this is about as simple an answer as I could give.

@MightyMightyO1 @mrmarksteel I think it’s a joke. No mention of race. why bring it up? (Mark didn’t).

@mrmarksteel Like clockwork, the racist tweets comparing black women to men appear. Mark, you’re about 5 years behind the curve. Racists using black women to justify men punching women is very passé now.

I think Simone Biles should be banned from women’s gymnastics as her muscles are too strong and manly. She should be replaced by Holly Willoughby.

This fits perfectly with the theme from Enter The Dragon.

@juderogers Hi. Any chance I could contact you please? I’m the bass trombonist with @WelshNatOpera and do some writing and podcasting. My other passion is music education. I’m driven to try and make music truly equal for all. Which means free music lessons.

@juderogers @guardianmusic Your review is excellent. And I agree - it’s an underrated jewel.

@juderogers @guardianmusic Loved it. Deer Hoof were a highlight. As were Gong and so much more. Lots of very classy music making.

“Womad feels like an undervalued jewel in the UK’s festival scene… an adventurous music fan’s treasure trove… refreshingly unself-conscious…cross-generational…[it’s] radically inclusive, genuinely celebratory.” My review in @guardianmusic theguardian.com/music/article/…

@RevRichardColes lol. Hope you enjoyed the music.

@TashP351 @mrdiscopop Wow. 👏👏👏

Ahh. The day job. ❤️

“We must remain the land of song internationally and at home now & for all our future generations.” Passionate words from @rhi4islwyn petitioning her colleagues in @WelshGovernment to protect @WelshNatOpera & @savejuniorrwcmd. We need to #SaveWNO with a cash injection right now.

@Rob7007 @MichaelRosenYes @BlondeCockney @tonymac5 @janiswardrspctr @SerenaJB3 Im a native. Hahahaha. Anyway I live in the UK. A lot of people here are complete tossers. Avoid if possible.

@MichaelRosenYes @BlondeCockney @tonymac5 @janiswardrspctr @SerenaJB3 'Nation' is simply a modern euphemism for a territorial tribe. To belong you must identify PRIMARILY with that nation rather than some non-territorial collective (such as a race or religion). You must support the nation, its borders and culture to the same level as the natives.

Because we keep getting the diverse nature of the team shoved down our throats and in the end diversity didn't win. What's the point of an England team if most of the players aren't ethnically English?

You say..

For the Director of the 'Popular Conservatives', several of whose members were thrown out by voters last week, the solution is quite simple. The public just have to be convinced that the Conservative party’s unpopular policies are actually popular. bylinetimes.com/2024/07/10/pop…

Emotional. My constituency - Stroud - has voted Labour. Dr Simon Opher. He is an extremely capable and serious adult. And a GP. Will make a refreshing change. #Election2024
