I hadn't really understood the environmental impact of routinely saving thousands of emails in folders and subfolders 'just in case'... Today, I permanently deleted nearly 20,000. #worldcleandataday

News says, 'DUP & ERG reject plans to revise Protocol'

News means, 'Brexit Extremists continue to deny any responsibility for the consequences of their own actions & remain determined to frustrate any attempt to manage the mess they created, while casting themselves as victims'

Is it already time for another self-inflicted financial crisis driven by the irrational, hysterical, lemming-like behaviour of greedy little speculators, masquerading as the 'genius of capitalism operating through the invisible hand of the market'?!

BBC/Lineker isn't just a 'distraction'. For ruling party to pressure state broadcaster to punish individual who criticised government policy reminds us why Tory plots to leave ECHR are so dangerous. Basic rights aren't just for 'fringe groups'; protect us all from abuse of power.

Help defuse Tory attempts to whip up a divisive culture war. Reach out to one of the many angry opinionated loudmouthed aggressive right wing spouters whose fragile world has suddenly fallen apart under the onslaught of a single Lineker tweet. Offer them a safe space. A refuge.

Tory Britain - where the presenters of Match of the Day inspire greater public confidence in the basic values of honesty, integrity and decency than the entire government.

At the time, the EU-UK deal on NI felt like a rare moment of respite. But this week? As dreadful & damning as any in recent memory. Back to the UK's democratic, liberal & moral disembodiment at the spiteful, cynical, selfserving claws of Hard Right Tory Populists. What a tragedy.

Dear oh dear. David Attenborough & Gary Lineker in one day. The BBC's addiction to false equivalence between facts and opinions, truth and lies, experts and charlatans was bad enough. But the active suppression of critical voices for fear of right wing attacks is deeply worrying.

Suppressing a David Attenborough documentary for fear of antagonising right wing climate-change-deniers?! Yet again, those who screech the most about free speech and 'cancel culture' are in fact the ones whose intolerance & faux victimhood pose the greatest threat of censorship.

Looking forward to our next LiverpoolMozartOrchestra Orchestra concert - 'A European Journey' in the company of Mozart, Francaix, Rossini, Schubert - with the wonderful Robin Wallington in the The Tung Auditorium next Saturday 18th March:

Migration is a complex & sensitive issue on which reasonable people can hold different views. But then there are unreasonable views. And then there are fabrications & scare stories. Then shameless political scapegoating & inflicting wanton cruelties. And then there's Braverman.

Think about how much damage the Tories have done. Then imagine how much worse it would be if they actually *concentrated* on being so awful at their jobs. Rather than spending so much time gossiping on Whatsapp. Or reality TV shows. Or cash-raking speeches. Or vanity books. Or...

📣 After their incredible performance at the Tung last Saturday, LiverpoolMozartOrchestra Orchestra will return on Saturday 18 March with Michael Shennan (oboe) and Robin Wallington (conductor) for their next concert 'A European Journey'. Book tickets now: bit.ly/3DKSy5y
