So last Monday I went off to the Showroom in Sheffield (an lovely independent cinema (well worth a visit)) to see the film Sirat. Well what can I say, it was an award winning film. It’s sounded okay from the write up, but it’s another film that’s left me feeling traumatised, I think it should come with a free counselling session.

If you are a techno fan then maybe this is one for you?

Maybe I’m not like other cinema goes all I want is a good story and a happy ending!

I am not a Green Party member or supporter however Zack appears to be the only party leader talking sense. “The events of the past 48 hours have laid bare Keir Starmer's utter inability to stand up to Donald Trump - and this weakness could have serious consequences for the safety of British people.”

NHS England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir – a US spy-tech firm that has supported mass deportation in the US. One of Palantir’s founders is also openly against the NHS. Peter Thiel claimed it “makes people sick” https://notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-target/stop-palantir-in-the-nhs/?utm_source=custom&utm_campaign=partner-just-treatment_email_to_target_palantirnhs&utm_medium=custom_share&utm_content=user_21_11_25
Say no to Palantir in the NHS

Do you know the term ‘Croydonisation’? It’s in the Oxford Dictionary, defined as ‘the architectural ruin of a town centre’.
Which appears to be what’s going on in Sheffield!
Look at this picture taken while I was waiting for the train back to Kiveton. The universities appear to be taking over the City Centre. I visited the lovely art deco showroom cinema. Opposite the Sheffield Hallam University has built another awful concrete and glass box.
What on earth are the Council planners thinking of?

Went to the Showroom Cinema, yesterday it’s a great art deco building which was originally Kennings. I love to be able to support this independent cinema.

The film was called The Shepherd and the Bear, and was a French language film with English subtitles. Quite a thought provoking film. #sheffield

Whether you love the BBC or loathe it, Trump’s actions this week have been straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Not content with undermining democracy at home, he’s now set his sights on our independent national broadcaster. #bbc

Like Brexit, calls to leave the ECHR are about blaming external organizations for our own problems. Just as Brexit didn't make it easier to control migration, being outside the ECHR won't either. It will just strip everyone in Britain of fundamental rights, aligning us with Putin's Russia and Lukashenko's Belarus.

75 years ago Today! The European Movement, led by Winston Churchill, wrote the first draft of the ECHR for the Council of Europe as you can see in the ECHR library. The UK was among the first nations to sign this landmark treaty and it required no laws changed in the UK as it was already aligned with UK law.
