We are somewhat shocked to realise that rehearsals commence this weekend for our Summer European Tour. Then we head out to see you in just over two weeks time. Looking forward to seeing you all out there.
Love love love, as always
From all of us

The people in this photograph had no idea that 28 years later they would be setting off on a summer tour of the world to play Only Happy When It Rains for the one thousandth time, in Sophia, Bulgaria.
An astounding statistic .

A week from today @beardedtheoryfestival will be the first show of our European tour this summer and I am flipping over this lineup.
Are you FUCKING kidding me right now?
I love my life.

I think we might be.

In memory of the original Nakba and the ongoing, appalling suffering of the Palestinian people.
Please educate yourself as to what the Nakba was and how the attempted erasure, occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people continues to his day.
Mercy.

This little engine that could turned 14 years old today.
Thank you @through_the_moss_on_high_heels for the reminder.
Gonna scrub up on Control later today at rehearsal to celebrate.

If you haven’t already : watch @andorofficial .
It explains everything.
If you know you know.

When did the concerted protection of children stop being a priority ? When did this horror inflicted upon the Palestinians become so normalized that these kind of statistics don’t even make the front page news? When did a ceasefire not require the actual laying down of arms by the oppressor ? Why can one ethnicity illicit such sympathy and support from Western governments and one cannot and is instead considered entirely disposable.
When did those who advocate for the protection of innocent civilians become the criminalized and those people who decorate their celebration cakes with a noose , positioned as heroes?
When did war lords , who have been accused of serious war crimes by international courts start getting invited onto our radio stations and tv shows to spew their zealous, supremist propaganda whilst peace loving and gentle artists like @misanharriman get smeared and hounded by a national newspaper ? What is happening here? It’s like living in the upside down.
It’s absolutely maddening. And distressing.
And downright INSANE.
I am not buying what they are selling.
I will keep my heart gentle.
And nothing they can say will ever convince me that what they are selling is something I ever want to buy into.
I reject their narrative.
And I always will.
Thank you @savechildrenuk@msrachelforlittles and @misanharriman for your tireless advocacy for the oppressed and downtrodden.
Love and deep respect always .

Love is your compass.

What the ACTUAL fuck.
Wake up everybody.
This is OUTRAGEOUS and seriously wicked, deeply RACIST shit.
This is not right and it cannot stand.
I resist this with every single cell of my exhausted old body.
And you should too.
White people need to stand up and speak out.
We can’t keep allowing them to get away with this shit.
