When I went to see #MichaelRosen at a #PoetryReading in #Woodgreen (who was very good), one poet recited a poem about mobile phone used where she talked about meeting a friend and telling them in the poem to "Put it down."
And it didn't come across to me like wisdom concern our lacking social connection via the overuse of our phones, it come across like someone bitter because they weren't receiving enough attention.
A line from #MichaelRosen's Getting Better: after the #Nazi #invasion of France, "the Italians were protecting Jews" in Nice, requisitioning boats to help them escape to North Africa.
Are the Italians fishing #refugees from North Africa out of the Mediterranean descendants of the ones who almost rescued Rosen's uncles?

I went to see #MichaelRosen read #poetry last night. I know he's had some ill health from #covid but he was fantastic! Very entertaining and funny.
…It doesn't walk in saying, "Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."
― #MichaelRosen 2014
"The impetus is on organisations, probably businesses and charities."
"It's not about what individuals think. It’s about what organisations do."

I love #MichaelRosen and his writing.
In his poem, "Fascism: I sometimes fear..." (2014), Michael says:
[fascism] doesn't walk in saying,
"Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."
I understand what he's saying, that the appealing side of fascism is what gets it's proponents elected.
However, #Trump and others are now saying the bad part out loud.
