Good morning, John @JohnTizard & thank you, as always. The #clocksgoback always seem to cause chaos in our household! With #StormBoelo in the news today, here's one which might be appropriate: "Storm, Lyme Regis" by John Cooper from 1934. #JohnCooper #LymeRegis #EastLondonGroup

EU Freedom of Movement is NOT an unconditional right under EU law: it is conditional on finding a job or being self-sufficient i.e. not being a burden on taxpayers. Otherwise they have no right to stay. #BBCLauraK

Good morning, Lin @lou_chatfield & thank you, very belatedly on my part, I'm afraid. With #StormBoelo in the news, here's one which might be appropriate today! This is "Winday Day on Marine Parade, Southend" by Brynhild Parker from 1930. It is in the collection @BeecroftGallery
Replying to @EastLndonGroup
It is very consoling

Good morning, Alan. The clocks have fallen back but your diligent posting Cecil Osborne’s “Sunday Morning, Farringdon Road” never falters. We enjoy these posts every week whatever the season and whether GMT or BST time. Thank you.
On the #SundayMorning that the #clocksgoback I feel all out of kilter but here to "steady the ship" is out traditional start to the day: "Sunday Morning, Farringdon Road" by Cecil Osborne from 1929. It is in the collection at Brighton & Hove Museums #CecilOsborne #EastLondonGroup

Insane. State directed homelessness & inhumane collective punishment of a civilian population
So far, the Israeli occupation forces have forcibly displaced around 250 Palestinian families from their homes in Hebron, without allowing them to take their belongings or vehicles, except for a suitcase of clothes, ahead of the planned demolition of their homes.

Good morning, Alan: It is dry and cool here for now, but rain is forecast. Autumn has fallen on us and the clocks will fall back later tonight. Your post with Brynhild Parker’s “Interior” brings welcome light and warmth. Thank you.
It is wet & miserbale here in our part of the world this #SaturdayMorning but I find that I am consoled by the view through the window of "Interior" by Brynhild Parker from 1930: it raises one's spirits, which is good on a day like this! #BrynhildParker #EastLondonGroup

Ex Conservative Prime Minister Harold Macmillan ripped apart Margaret Thatcher's privatisation while she was doing it at a Tory Party conference, "Selling off the family silver" she's is just selling off the nations assets because she has run out of money.

UK crime was four times higher when Oasis first played Knebworth than at last year’s reunion gigs. The collapse of crime and safer streets is one of the biggest stories of our time. But one almost never told - or believed. My take on today’s figures: comment.press/lawless

As women are currently under-represented on the Committee, we particularly encourage applications from women.

Good to meet with our community to discuss the issues affecting Bedford town centre, including drugs and alcohol, mental health, crime in public spaces, e-bikes and scooters. We need to strengthen trust between the police and the public, these conversations make this possible.
