I'm so TIRED of this country... :( ETA: NO IDEA what happened to the formatting. Sorry.

I have no doubt the vast majority of our country stand with Mina Smallman in her quest for justice. Love, compassion and solidarity. pic.twitter.com/cj0063muWM

how is this even enforceable? are any exemptions being made for vulnerable children or kids with vulnerable people in their households? I hope parents are getting organised. pic.twitter.com/LSezE77ipV

This should be extremely concerning. The professionalism and expertise of the Civil Service is one of the few stabilising factors in Britain’s democracy. This is a radical govt, one determined to sweep away any traditional bulwark against unaccountability it encounters. /1 https://t.co/ER4TyTLNHY

Here, have a Pet Shop Boys video. Footage: Soviet Russia in Color (1945-47)

Watch on YouTube

Although today's art is bright and beautiful. “Unwoven Light” by Korean artist Soo Sunny Park who creates large sculptural installations using glass, wire and light (x).

Sparkly!

I hear you about being so tired of the awfulness.

[elisi]

Very sparkly!

And yeah. We are legion.

Yes, I feel you. Sedwill leaving is another nail in our coffin. You may need to use your other passport before long. I am so TIRED of being angry and bereft.

Sparkly as a vampire never is!

Hadn't kept up with the news yesterday... *sigh* And oh, I only have my EU passport and am holding onto it with all I have!

It's like we have been walking uphill for 10 years, and the incline just keeps getting steeper. And it's started to snow.

Sparkly as a vampire never is!
LOL. Excatly!

I wish so very, very much that I had an EU passport. My ancestry's Welsh, not Irish, though.

And it's uphill each way through the blizzard in June. So weary of this.

People would ask me why I hadn't become a British citizen, and I'd usually just ask why? The EU/freedom of movement was a fab idea and I didn't need to. Now? WHY WOULD I EVER WANT TO?? My passport is my ticket out of here, if I need it. Anyway, you never know - Wales might secede...

And it's uphill each way through the blizzard in June. So weary of this.
And I am highly privileged. I can't imagine being a minority (or any kind) and having this piled on top of everything else. :(

Soviet Russia actually looks quite fun.

[elisi]

Doesn't it just? Gulags? What gulags? Look how happy everyone is!

I've been angry since 2016. It's exhausting.

[elisi]

Aye. *deep sigh*
