yoko,todmorden fish, doggerland & turkish bath.....

I'm as cynical as the next bloke.
 But I must say I was really 'moved' in Manchester on Thursday .
We attended Yoko Ono's "Bell For Peace' in Manchester Cathedral Garden. Just yards from the Arena Bombings.
Thousands of us people stood together  singing "Give Peace A Chance"
 It might be 'hippy shit' But it's better than 'Boris Shit' or 'Tommy Robinson shit' or 'Nigel Farage shit' .Non?

I think we are simply weary...?

So  ,here are some (infact most) of my photos from the past 7 days.

Even from her "grave", Theresa May continues to  poison the well!
I voted Labour & still support Jeremy Corbyn 100%

I have dear friends (usually Labour voters) who voted for both The Brexit Party and Liberal Democrats last Thursday.

 Be careful what you wish for my friends..............dont forget Europe's drift to the right (e.g. Le Penn).Ironically, given this was a 'European Election', nobody on the telly has once mentoned "Europe"!
Tribal?

 

it was Cathy's Birthday yesterday

Lots of pressies & phonecalls.

"It's good of you to ask me sir To tell you how I spend my day..........." link:

see all the day's photos here
This week ,I've been a little pissed off with the new BBC /HBO Drama "Gentleman Jack" starring Suranna Jones. Now, its (yet another) chance to see Halifax on TV. Great!
But is Anne Lister such a great "Icon"? She introduced coal mining to Shibden. She sent girls as young as 8 to work 10 hours shifts underground.
'Might be worth you reading this  report of how she abused the  poor people of Halifax.
Patience Kershaw reported "."sometimes the miners beat me if i am not fast enough:
I push carts for 11 miles a day. my life is terrible..." 
Not Very Sexy Halifax!

justice,we will be publically hung in June .

pace egg play

"The name pace is derived from Latin pascha ('Easter') (c.f. the adjective paschal). The drama takes the form of mock combat between the hero and villain, in which the hero is killed and brought back to life, often by a quack doctor. In some the plays the figure of St George smites all challengers, and the fool, Toss Pot, rejoices..........."
