It would appear that “former Tory MP Antoinette Sandbach has threatened the University of Cambridge with legal action after a historian named her as a descendant of merchants who enslaved his ancestors.”
Oh, my… It would be a damn shame if more people knew of this so please do not boost this post.

Caught up with my old collaborator on political animations last week.
Discussing doing new stuff, given the state of everything.
We used to turn things around pretty quickly, but we're not sure we can keep up with the current news cycle. The scandals & controversies move SO QUICKLY these days it feels challenging to do a song & animation & get it out before everyone else has moved on.
Maybe in the run up to the next election I'll get the singing dog out & we'll try something.

When you look at video of Mitch McConnell struggling to speak, remember that all human beings have lives that matter, and take a moment to share a little bit of human empathy for the tens or hundreds of millions of people who have fallen victim to the life of Mitch McConnell.
@coarsehawk no, I think it's pee. anarchism is stored in the pee
@35millimetre and yes, pushbike pads are like a couple of postage stamps in a trenchcoat masquerading as something to slow you down
@35millimetre palm... sized...
eep! clearly you have Moar Horsepowers and/or tiny hands
@stavvers did you try flamethrowers though? spendy at first, bit thirsty on the fuel, but also handy in the event of neighbour(ing country) disputes
@35millimetre rim-blocks or disc type?
unless you have silly-horsepower then motorbike ones are disturbingly tiddly to my eyes. certainly when the previous pads you changed were on a van :-o
People greatly underestimate the value of libraries in our society. Here's some FREE things you can do at any library:
-Write your greatest enemy an anonymous letter, claiming to have hidden money in a local library book.
-Disguise yourself as a librarian, and offer to help your greatest enemy find the book they seek.
-Murder your greatest enemy in a secluded corner where no witnesses will be present.
-Hide the body behind the shelf of Guy Fieri cookbooks, where it will never be found.
