The Daily Blog Open Mic – 3rd June 2025
Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird Bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.

A Christmas Garland by Anne Perry.
Though a garland has a tiny feature of importance at the end most is about India in 1857 after a heartbreaking, defeat from a siege and massacre by Indian rebels against the British. There is a lot of thinking with hardly any time, to work out what happened and defend a good man who is about to be sacrificed in the interests of the British maintaining order and honour with the Indian community. An elaborate plot.
