Democracy in action...

In the 1970’s the BBC made a documentary about strange families in England. Naturally, my family were selected to be featured. ‘Look Stranger’ may hold some answers for anyone who’s ever wanted to ask me: “Why do you talk like that Susie?” “Why do you tell so many stories?” “Why are you in constant need of attention?” It’s also an extraordinary piece of storytelling and nostalgia. My family had a shop. We still do. We’ve had the shop since 1860. That’s what is says on the door. We are (still) very proud of our shop. It doesn’t feel like it should still have a place in 2024. It’s not on LinkedIn. There’s no #corporateculture Or #leadership, or #marketingresults And yet somehow, it has survived. I am told it’s not the ‘done thing’ to post about family history here. But I always notice babies, weddings and anniversaries go down well with people. And it’s nice to know I have my grandfather, mother, uncle and aunt all in one place. (My grandmother refused to have anything to do with it 😂) So if you like Norfolk/suffolk Or traditional businesses Or just want to see my mother showing off (leaning unnecessarily far out of a boat whilst smoking) Then you’ll enjoy this. But it is a 1970’s documentary about a very traditional shop, so consider yourself warned. But here it is: https://lnkd.in/eXVj3Zz2 #familybusiness #traditional #shop #proud

Obviously as is absolutely the case with regards to every discipline and profession, there are, of course "bad/ corrupted criminals-in-disguise", effectively. That must be rooted out. However, if you are going to let an exceptionally tiny minority of such sorry excuses-for people justify your not actively supporting the #thinblueline, then you are absolutely one of the also exceptionally tiny but - generally - obnoxiously-loud minority, who are a giant part of the problem. That is, the problem of the very deliberate dividing of this nation, the epidemic of crime in far too many formerly safe cities and towns and generally, the continuing breakdown of law and order, the Rule of Law and the emerging reign of an increasingly-obvious also very deliberate, Two-Tiered so-called "Justice" system. +++ But that's just what I think might be happening and might be some of the causes. What do you all think? #surveysays

As the debate around reparations intensified in California, members of the Black community stepped forward to share their perspective on what should be done to address systemic racism. In KQED’s “The Road to Reparations in California”, we learn how citizens in other states have held organizations and communities accountable for past wrongs. The video is a look at how reparations can be accomplished. And now that the California Reparations Task Force has delivered its landmark 1,200-page report with 115 recommendations for reparative measures, it will be up to the state legislature — and pressure from community organizers — to keep the momentum moving toward restitution. https://lnkd.in/g635vJGM

David Miller @Tracking_Power What the ‘State of Israel’ wants most is to intimidate Muslims who protest against Zionist genocide in Palestine. It wants to turn the UK into occupied territory. It has succeeded in doing so among the UK's main political parties, with all of them, including the Greens and SNP, protecting Zionist beliefs by applying the IHRA definition of Judeophobia. Now it wants to take that political and media hegemony and replicate it on the streets of Britain. It is up to all of us to prevent this occupation — in the UK, in Europe and the Levant. #DismantleZionism Islamophobia incident in the UK: https://lnkd.in/dCrMiyzs
