The Trial of Keef Starmer

I'm in pretty much the same place that I was on July1st 2016 when I took this photo.
Me & Cath were in Picadilly Gardens Manchester.At the time of the first "Chicken Coup" against Mr Corbyn.
A Protest in his support.
Other photos from that day are here: https://www.smugmug.com/gallery/n-6rBW36/

I notice on twitter today that several legal folk have offered their services free when/if it any future Trial happens.
 Keith Starmer will be forced to disclose some of his secrets?.
Bring It On!
Note this sum is made up of ordinary people making modest donations.£5's £10's seems the typical sums involved.(note :this appeal began on Thursday 23rd July )

This seems apt.taken at another Manchester demo.I mean, there is bugger all else to do for the next 4 years.May as well kick up a fuss!

Big 6 Pub :Halifax

My first bus journey in 4 months: first pub visit in 4 months.............see my photos :https://zimnoch.smugmug.com/Big-6-22nd-July-2020/

Still My Leader

You know, I am totally unreconstructed ! Over 200000 members have left the Labour Party since Keith Starmer became to new Labour Party leader in UK.

The new Series of The Apprentice  looks like shit.

Ken's 85th Birthday

I took part in my first ever ZOOM Conference tonight.
It was to mark the 85th birthday of Ken who was the Head Warden of Carter Lane YHA Hostel in St Pauls ,City of London.
 I worked there in 1971.
 I must admit i find these  video conferences a bit weird .Especially this one, as I only knew a couple of people .A bit like attending a School Reunion with people I didn't go to school with.....
Still ,nice to see & hear Ken who looks & sounds remakably agile.

in the woods today, below King David's house.
