Hi all, I am currently working on my dissertation exploring activism against water/sewage pollution in the South East. If you have been involved in a protest/demo of this kind and would like to take part in a short 20 min interview please get in touch!
One day to go until the #SASpaddleout in Hastings: join us if you're #sickofsewage and want @SouthernWater to take action now to #endsewagepollution!
I'll be organising the @sascampaigns DIY paddle-out protest in Hastings on 18 May. Hope you can join me! RSVP: fb.me/e/1OiCkj7oY #paddleout2024 #paddleoutprotest #endsewagepollution

I was assaulted by a senior Lib Dem four years ago today.
Then on 16th Dec, Willie Rennie told me not to report him as it wasnβt sexual. The Man had bullied me for over a year. Now he was touching me. I was scared. Willie told me Iβd not get selected if I reported. #AskAlex

I need a conference venue with:
* with 1 big room which seats 100 people,
* 3 breakout rooms which can hold 20 people,
* movable chairs and no other furniture,
* rock solid wifi / wired internet.
Preferably in London.

London needs a "new Shoreditch" and it's not about to get one. The city is fast becoming too expensive to live in and be creative, in tech or any other arena. This isn't working.

Wowzers. $36 billion spent so far on the #Metaverse. While #SecondLife delivers a seemingly decent virtual world at a fraction of the cost. πtheguardian.com/technology/2β¦
