NOT SNOWFLAKES We're not snowflakes, We're cotton wool. We might appear the same to a child -Soft on the surface- But when you look a little closer We're made of fibres bound so tightly We don't break. That was worth raising I felt. Oh, and one more thing. We're not snowflakes. We don't melt.
Amazing parcel through the post from @glasgowstpauli Loads of stickers and badges, plus a #LoveGlasgowHateRacism wristband. Only one place for that......
The brand new #WeShallOvercome t-shirt fresh for #WSO2018 is looking SHARP! Marcus Henfrey's loudhaler design just rocks. Details on how to get one to follow.....
Great doing a session for Mike and Jamie last night on the Chapter 3 Show on Coast and County Radio. Was having so much fun I almost forgot to cue up my own show and had to dash next door with 90 seconds to spare! Live versions of new songs 'The Past Won't Last Forever' and 'Drinking Our Way Home' plus 'You Take On One Of Us'. They may see the light of day on a podcast at some point. But like everything live, you kinda have to be there. Next stop is Llangollen on Saturday. ✊❤👍👊
****AMAZING NEWS ALERT**** My biggest news of the year. I am exceptionally pleased to announce I've been awarded the Wigan Diggers' Festival Gerrard Winstanley Spade Award 2018 for Outstanding Contribution to Socialism. This is massive. The list of previous winners reads like a list of modern heroes of the movement- Tony Benn, Maxine Peake, Jimmy McGovern, Ken Loach- and for my name to be added to that list means more than I can possibly put into words. I will be handed the award at this year's festival on Saturday 8th September, and I would love it if some of you could get there and cheer me on. I'll be singing too, so there's plenty of time for hollering n'all. It would mean the world to me to be around comrades whose love, solidarity and support are what fire me up every day to go out there and fight all over again, because this award is yours too and I'd be made-up if we could share the moment together......the way we do everything else. Please be aware though, our brothers and sisters in the RMT are on strike that day on Northern Rail, fighting to keep the guard on our trains and keep passengers safe; and much as I'd love to see you there, DO NOT CROSS A PICKET LINE to make it. Wouldn't be much of a Socialist if I asked that of you. The Wigan Diggers Festival is one of the best days of any year, with the finest of music and stalls and fringe events all day long so if you're not yet acquainted remedy that this year. You won't regret it. Right. I'm off to sit in a dark room and calm down. Over and out x #wigandiggers #wigandiggersfestival
#LoveGlasgowHateRacism Still buzzing.
