Posted on March 16, 2018 by Benoit Magician Poet and Wordcaster

The saga continues in Sheffield, with more new words to teach our future children! Now the Police has invited Amey plc in their control room with views develop techniques to use on fracking protestors. We are loving it in Sheffield.

So, here we are, Ameyrica III Ameyndments is I believe the best so far, we’ve had such a laugh working on it, enjoy, Continue reading →

(Tree) Hug Life #17

Posted on January 11, 2018 by Benoit Magician Poet and Wordcaster

january 2018, Amey and Sheffield City Council are back to try enforcing their dodgy pfi deal in the streets of Sheffield where the fight is intensifying. Nonsensical arrests, amateurs in charge of functions that require critical thinking abilities. Human clones in playmobil uniforms just doing their job….. but not understanding concepts like purpose and meaning, pawns vested with illusory authority and credentials …. this is all happening in Sheffield streets, the council playing hide and seek, Foxes and bunnies so to reach their quota of healthy trees massacred tobe transformed in unnecessary biomass energy…….

Oh Well Orwell. Raven Tirade #10

This animal Farm inspired story is inspired from actual environment politics. Both from Sheffield where the council and corporate giant Amey are trying to remove the city’s green heritage for profits, and from the Peak District where the Tory government under Theresa May intent to turn the National Park and other National heritage parks into un-necessary Fracking sites, whereas most European countries have already placed a ban on this dangerous practice.  Continue reading →
