Thanks to Keir Starmer and "Labour", Nigel Farage's so-called Reform party (Tories, but even more racist) has so far taken control of Staffordshire and Durham county councils in yesterdays English local elections, and gained an MP in a by-election by six votes.

The UK needs a Left (Communist/Socialist/Anarchist/Whatever) fight-back now, and not just by voting. Leaving everything to elections is not going to fix anything when all the leading parties are just variations of the same right-wing capitalist-loving bullshit, and much of the electorate are too ignorant or bigoted to work it out.

We need both real left-wing parties (George Galloway and his WPB can go to hell) if people are going to bother voting again, and real left wing action of all kinds.

Norton Priory. Nikon F65. Expired Kodak 400.

Norton Priory is a museum in Runcorn, Cheshire that comprises of a abbey complex dating from between the 12th and 16th centuries and an 18th century manor house, home of the Brooke family until 1921. The sit was given in trust for public use in the early 1960's and was the subject of much renovation and archaeological investigation.

It was open to the public in 1971 and a new museum building was opened in 2016.
