Links

I quite like the links Bensozia (r/h bar) puts on his blog once a week, so is here is some of my reading this week.  

Firstly, Rebecca Solnit in 'Meditations in an Emergency', she records the good, the optimistic and sadly the bad happenings which gathers in the news on what is happening in the USA.  There are many, many good people fighting the terrible government regime in the country, this caught my eye....Vance will go down in history as the only person ever told to f*ck off by two popes in one season. Me, always childish, but there is a strong movement in America to defeat ICE and get the Constitution recognised again for what it is. Here is her very long essay.

I have got this next link under Super Bowl and Bad Bunny, which obviously I did not watch, but Cody Dahler, who is a comedian and script writer makes very funny small videos of political happenings. So as this is the latest video here it is.

This is Richard Murphy, a real political guru, he is videoing most days keeping up to date as to what is happening in our government.  Here he argues that Keir Starmer is a hollow person and presumably has no deep convictions.  Believe that or not but Starmer seems to still be holding on to his job as our prime minister for the time being anyway. The YouTube video

And lastly for the moment at least, is the news that the Green Party is making their headquarters in Denton and Gorton in Greater Manchester, the constituency in which a by-election is taking place.  And which, of course, the Greens hope to win over the Reform Party.  She is definitely a spunky lady that Hannah Spencer and I am going to disagree with the scornful people - I think she, a plumber, has a chance of winning!  The Video

Many years ago, Arundhati Roy said, “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.

I was going to write about daffodils and maybe Cornwall but on looking at the Cornwall photo folders, the weather seemed all grey and miserable. Perhaps another day.
