There's a tune you could sing that too ....

I got caught in a hail storm, only just got some feeling back in my fingers and toes, brrrrrr

It's Baltic outside. Tomorrow is even worse 😞

Despite the cold windy weather, thousands of people march against the far right and racism. All together now.

Fnarr fnarr.

Wonder if @MsJinks is on the protest march?

I was going to be smug about the glorious sunshine we've had, taking the edge off the wind, then we got a shower of rain and hail of our own.

One of the Reform candidates in our constituency has resigned complaining all the other candidates above him on the list are ex-Tories and novices. He’s not wrong.

It’s not too bad weather wise here. I’ve just been out and planted my sweet peas. Dire warnings for tomorrow though, an event I was going to has been cancelled.

Was in central London today. I couldn't join the March unfortunately. But poped into the cartoon museum and this tickled me so I'm paying additional tax and a tribute to the late Dame Jenni.

This must be the only time this century the BBC suddenly missed a chance to plug Dads Army.

Yes, the missing "detail" from the ever-so-trustworthy BBC was that the protest was actually a bunch of people singing the Dads Army theme tune.

The last pro EU March in London (bigger than this) never featured on BBC news at all.

I’d have loved to have been on that march. I’m so grateful to the half million people who turned out.

I remember, German television showed the long line

DD and I were planning to go on this march, but my sciatica threw a painful spanner in the works. So we've had a productive day installing a compost bin, making foccaccia from scratch and doing DD's next dye job - tulips (will post a photo when we've done the background).

Hello everybody I am keeping up and I realise I have been ducking tax recently. Here is one from today’s march in London. It was very, very busy and a whopper of a turnout!

Well done!

Thanks Piggy. Sadly my local Facebook page thinks anyone here today is just causing trouble as their is no racism in our town 🙄and we are complicit in the grooming and rape of young girls. So that’s me told! 🙄

That's a fantastic photo 🥰

Ignore. Meta is doubling down regardless of the current prosecutions in California. The people making comments are bots.

Those banners on the right 😅

They are, plus the 'make me rich again' hat on the 🍊😅

So clever.

🍿😅

The Reform party Treasurer is citing articles 6 and 7 of the European Convention on Human Rights in writing to the government to oppose the proposed £100k cap on donations from voters resident abroad.

Reform would quit the ECHR
