Pam CHi, Yet another new instance. This allows up to 10,000 characters, allows politics and is LGBT+ friendly. I like politics from around the world (but hate most politicians), activisim, music, and so many other things that I'll contribute to.

Pam CPosting this list of ECHR again so I can pin it.
Pam CGot a few minutes to going to have a go at a new #introduction post (may be subject to editing or change later). Not new to Mastodon, just to this instance.
I'm Pam, nearly 64 (at time of writing), from the #Crumpsall (wiki it) Area of #Manchester. I like to talk #politics and #activism . Sometimes I'm controversial, sometimes not. I'm old school lefty. Ie not far left, and not on the right where some pretend to be on the left. I'm probably round about Clement #Attlee or Harold #Wilson or Jeremy #Corbyn on the real centre left but on certain issues it's variable.
I support #LGBT+ issues and like to educate and inform if I know what I'm talking about, or give opinions if I don't know as much as I think I do.
Love Music, but my favourite genres is #rock of all types except Metal and Thrash, particularly from the 1950s to the early 1980s. Favourite Radio Stations are #RadioCarolineFlashback and #BoomRadio with a little #MagicAtTheMusicals
I'm an atheist so will challenge godbotherers from time to time.
Tend to stand with the underdogs.
Interested in lots of things beside.

Pam Chttps://mastodonapp.uk/web/@AMereSolicitor Is a good account to follow. Many of the dead bird site exiles may remember them.
Pam CSky is very purple tonight. I guess that's the pollution in the air that is more obvious on high pressure days.
Pam CVery Long Read (an hour plus) that gives the legal reasoning and interpretation of the Supreme Court in the case of For [som] Women Scotland. The conclusions say that the Supreme Court erred in its judgement.
This is good news for any ECtHR cases.

Pam CGovernment want to put facial recognition cameras in residential areas, presumably using "AI". Somebody needs to tell Starmer and Cooper that 1984 and Big Brother were not instruction manuals.
Pam CNever mind under 22s. They get free travel if in Education until 19 anyway. Restore the Over 60s passes to everybody 60 and over in those areas they don't already have it. Pay is so low in this country that near pensioners need to have the opportunity to put a little away for their new retirement date.
Pam CThe nonce President has gone full fash again sending in the National Guard to DC. Something he refused to do on January 6th.

Pam CSo in the UK, you either need to buy an encyclopaedia, which is uncensored, or use a VPN to use Wikipedia which will now be censored by UK regime..
