I wrote this poem last month for #Gaza...
WE LOST
1)No tears for their closed eyes.
For they don't cry anymore.
They don't open.
They don't plead.
Deaf ears made stitched.
Their gods are silent, smoke screened through artificial clouds.
They don't dream anymore....
Apparently the golden rule of being so sound and a great guy in a Irish pub is just buying one pint for the resident drinker.
I mean how will any sensible republican defend Trump actually posting AI video of the man who died in the tiger attack, as him being the one who calms it? Such insensitivity. Madness. Ego borderline hubris. The man was a vulnerable person.
Made me proud today as father
When my 9year old with autism over heard me talking to a friend about scripts
“ dad I want to be in theatre and on a story”
“You can I’ll write you one”
“That would be fabulous “
🤣
You might not think it’s a lot but as writer who is a full time carer for my kids that’s a lot for a regular submission

Yeah but what about the boats, Andy?
Let me say this very directly.
Football does not belong to investors. It belongs to the people who fill the stands and who stand on the touchline week in, week out, rain or shine.
The World Cup is not a product. It is the greatest competition in world sport, and it was never anyone's to sell. Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out.
Football belongs to the fans. It always has, and it always will.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Small boat crossings in the UK peaked in 2022, when Suella Braverman was Home Secretary.

‘How dare they celebrate her death! They’re sick!’ Mike, 63, who ‘haha’ reacts on Facebook every time there’s a story about a child or adult drowning in The Channel after falling out of a small boat.

The UN has found that Israel deliberately targeted maternity wards and neonatal units as a direct strategy.
Please RT this until the UK Govt stops supporting the GENOCIDAL state of Israel & doing it in our name.
Thank you.

1. The Holocaust was evil, as everyone knows
2. The Holocaust was NOT uniquely evil, as some claim
3. Throughout history there have been other comparable genocides, often carried out by Europeans against indigenous people
4. The genocide in Gaza is not the same as the Holocaust, obviously, but it is in the same moral category
5. The Nazis killed babies, children, women and men BECAUSE they were Jews. The Israelis kill babies, children, women and men BECAUSE they are Palestinian
6. Israel and its supporters weaponise and abuse the memory of the Holocaust, sometimes to close down argument and sometimes even to justify the genocide in Gaza
