Lovely cat, pointythings!

Mine didn't even buy me a Mother's Day card.😭

Thanks for the thread. I bet MI5 is watching this.

All my cats are lovely, but this one is the one who loves me most.

My parents were on a watch list when they were students because they visited a communist bookshop in Leiden. If this thread is being watched, that would be great - because it would make me feel I am continuing a proud tradition of making governments nervous whilst in fact looking like a fluffy middle aged lady with purple hair.

Thank you for the new thread. Happy Mothers day all.

Thanks for thread, lovely pics. Happy mothers day.

Once, long ago, I was very breifly on the news in a clip of a demo with some others, and later there was a photo of me at the same demo in an American magazine. My friend reckoned I would be on a list somewhere!

Waves to MI5 👋
Thanks for the new thread - and the gorgeous cat & flower pictures.

Heck, I am a paid up member of Republic - which campaigns for a democratically elected Head of State - so even though it's for British values such as democracy, I guess it undermines British Institutions - so I am sure I am on a little list.

Thanks for new thread x
Roll on the election ...

Thanks for the thread!

"Health Secretary Victoria Atkins warned: “There are some people, sadly, who hold views that are contrary to the values that we hold as a country and we should not allow those views to percolate through society”."

"Mr Gove sought to address fears from some Tories that the new definition could encompass gender-critical feminists or devout religious groups.
“It’s only extremism if you translate that into a political ideology that is anti-democratic,” he said.
“Private belief should be cherished. Free speech has to be protected.”"

We will watch this space

Thanks for the thread @DuncinToffee. I dropped off the last one. ExMiL died so I've been in the Dead Zone.

Atkins also claimed the government is building 40 new hospitals and that they are a tax cutting party
