The days when Londoners took lovely trips to Margate. You can genuinely hear how much more at peace they were within themselves and their surroundings than the average person is today. (1970s) πβ³οΈ

"Look at what they've done to it now." In this episode of Only Fools and Horses, Uncle Albert stands at the Shadwell Basin (East London) and reflects upon the erasure of all he knew and loved. This scene cuts me to my core. This is exactly how I feel when I stand there, many other places in London, and, of course, Britain overall. Each generation seems to slip further from familiarity, normality, and even morality. Until, one day, there will be nothing left to recognise and no one left to recognise anything even if there was. Moments before this scene, Rodney had walked out of the Prospect of Whitby pub in Wapping, which is a few yards away. I could write about this scene all day, but in the end, it speaks for itself. "They were rough people. They were good people" πβ³οΈ

I am oh so tired of seeing unnecessary misery in a world that's supposed to know better.
At least prisoners who've done something bad get to spend time with others. All this poor creature did was earn some sickos a few pound note just to rot like a mass murderer on a segregation unit.

Ladies and gentlemen, I don't ask for much. All I'm asking for is that someone buys me Sanda Island in Scotland so I can proclaim myself the King of Sanda and walk around with a crown all day. I don't think I'm being unreasonable.

Country Life
A Scottish island for sale with seals, seven houses, a lighthouse and its own pub
Plans for world domination? Hiding from the in-laws? Fancy watching some puffins? You can do it all on Sanda Island near the Mull of Kintyre.
