Sly & The Family Stone - This is Love

From the album, Small Talk. 1974.

People don't choose to be on disability benefits. It's their last resort.

Stop blaming people with mental health problems. If the Secretary of State wants a grown-up conversation about this, then he should meet with us.

'Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

#OTD 52 years ago, trade unionist Jimmy Reid stood up up at Glasgow University, having been elected by the students as their new rector.

The speech he delivered - hailed by the New York Times as the finest since the 'Gettysburg Address' - is as profound now as it was then.

Where has this been all this time ….

May Miles Thomas' film The Devil's Plantation is a masterclass in psychogeographic storytelling; the city and landscape captured so atmospherically. You'll never view the city in the same light. Watch it online. May Miles Thomas devilsplantation.co.uk
