Books, books, books.

Hello all, it is a mystery to me as to why books are undervalued. We are sucked in by social media and technology and wander if it not too much. I must admit that I make this statement, typing to you while using an electronic device. That in itself begs the question - when are we not "glued" to our screens as it were. Think about it. Do you wake up in the morning and immediately check your phone all the time? Sometimes there is good reason but sometimes you do just because. I am not judging though but I just question whether books can be considered and not ignored as much unlike social media. Plus, a good book can put you in a good mood or a calmer one. I know it has for me!

So Kier Starmer has quit as prime minister...

It is official now... Prime minister Kier Starmer has quiet. I for one am glad. Him and the labour government have turned their backs on so many. The LGBTQIA+ community suffer at the hands of conversion therapy which the Conservatives and current Labour government have failed to ban. It is a disgrace! Then we have his pathetic abandonment of protecting rights for all those who are transgender, non-binary and intersex. I have been appalled by this Labour government. Even a group started entitled "LGB Labour". That tells you all you need to know! It is terrible. But still, Andy Burnham could become prime minister and I do not trust him either. Still, if you asked me for a preference over him or Reform UK's Rob Kenyon in this Makerfield election, then Burnham it is. He is lesser of two evils. Kenyon admitted he was sexist, made vile, misogynistic remarks about women getting abortions and other revolting misogynistic remarks about national treasure Carol Vorderman. Reform UK...

Pride - shwowing up and abandoning the community.

Going to pride events recently has made me realise one thing. Some people are there for the LGBTQIA+ community. There are a lot of celebrities who are allies to the LGBTQIA+ community. Earlier on in the month I visited Canterbury for their pride event because I liked it last year and they normally have some well known singers joining the main stage. Plus it is free! This year I got to witness Atomic Kitten's very own Natasha Hamilton. She was incredible!
