Graham Martin
Formerly in Yorkshire, now living in Orkney. Lapsed activist, still talking politics. Pro-unions and strikes. Trans Lives Matter. Against all Imperialisms, not just the West. Too many interests to list. Neurodivergent. Christian, but not like that...
- When in Norway, Have a break, Have a Quick Lunch! (Product is nigh-identical, but produced by a Mondalez subsidiary and, crucially, not Nestle).
- Just dropping by whilst in Arctic Norway to say that all bread should come in wrappers with pictures this fun:
- I was reminded the other day of the White Woman from Australia who crashed the Break Dancing at the Olympics. Frankly, this has the same energy: white person mimicking back the culture but in a self-absorbed, unreceptive and undignified way. (And stop saying Dementia, this ain't new from Trump)

- The more Starmer and Cooper go on, the more I feel like their legacy will be Resisters to a coming Reform government being arrested and jailed under Labour's laws. A horrific kick in the teeth to any decent human being who worked to get them elected.

- Reposted by Graham MartinI don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

- Reposted by Graham MartinThis is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.
- Reposted by Graham MartinFarage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied

- Secure borders as in "keep the Isis operatives, Russian assets and US hate preachers out", NOT secure as in "Keep out NHS and Care Sector recruits".

- Reposted by Graham MartinWell done Labour Anyone who thought you represented real change now despises you. Anyone who didn’t, still won’t. People who weren’t that convinced but hoped for the best are out of patience. You’ve managed to turn off everyone. Quite the achievement!
- This is a brilliant and brave decision by The Episcopal Church (the US branch of the Anglican Communion). Sad for the staff.

The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

- Obviously Putin is only interested in Ukraine and will be quite happy once he's taken just that one country.

- It's obviously not strictly true, but this looks like Tories converting to Reform and Lab to Green and LD.
