Meant to make time earlier but other things, like a #birthday, got in the way. Took a #trip with some folk I know #aboard #Norada. I was even allowed to take the #helm while a reef was being taken out as we approached #Wroxham.

My mate is one of the #volunteer #skipper s and spends a lot of time on any of their various #craft.

Unless you know about #Norfolk 's 19th #inland #sailing #barges, some of which were converted into #holiday craft late in their life you won't get a good impression of the scale of the craft, as all my pictures were taken while aboard.

You wouldn't know from this picture, but it's bloody freezing out there! These two have clearly been here a while, as evidenced by the tide marks on their listing hulks

Impertinemment vôtre ! 😜🔔

Some numpty-heid forgot his big, John Steed umbrella today. Fortunately the possible showers did not come, and I ambled homeward in a happily non-drookit manner. Actually quite nice alongside the Union Canal.

The incredible history of barges used for transport in the mid 1800s. Fascinating to learn about the families who took the journey for 10-15 days with their children. These wooden barges were pulled by mules. Ever get the chance, visit this place in Hawley PA. Part of the D&H Canal.

Tory Party Dep Chair #LeeAnderson tells #asylum seekers 'f*** off to France' if they don't like #barges. These #bigoted Tories shame Britain, they make one hang one's head in shame. We MUST rid ourselves of these disgusting #xenophobes. https://tinyurl.com/yjxpaa7k #ToryCriminals

Michael Chessum -- Ever Harder Borders

The European Union deploys ever more resources to #prevent #migrants reaching the continent, and more than 27,000 people have #disappeared in the #Mediterranean since 2014.

The UK’s post-Brexit border policies amount to a #withdrawal from international #conventions on the #rights of #refugees. Under the latest legislation, people are not permitted to claim asylum unless they arrive by an official route, which is impossible for most refugees.

Anyone entering the UK ‘illegally’ will be banned for #ever from claiming asylum or applying for citizenship, and so will their #family. The government now plans to ‘house’ asylum seekers in offshore #barges.
