@zackpolanski.bsky.social stopped by #Handsworth yesterday and was welcomed by @edfreshwater.bsky.social of #BrumGreens in front of the #BenjaminZephania mural to show what a vibrant, diverse, integrated neighbourhood it truly is. Don't let anyone tell you #Birmingham is not multicultural and proud!

Is this the end of the #27club and the beginning of the #65club ? Many popular artistes died age 27 - Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse and others. So far this month we've already lost Shane MacGowan and Benjamin Zephania, both aged 65. Never mind 40 is the new 30, 65 is the new 27. #shanemacgowan #benjaminzephania

'You have to look beyond the face
to see the person true,
Deep down within my inner space
I am the same as you;
I've counted since that fire burnt
the many lessons I have learnt.
You have to talk to me and not
the skin that holds me in.'

RIP #benjaminzephania

The legend.
Rest in Power.

An invitation to the palace to accept a New Year honour... you must be joking. Benjamin Zephaniah won't be going. Here he explains why.

Always the good, smart, decent ones taken too soon. RIP
