Two weeks (ish) to #ZzapLive in #Coventry. I'm one of the guests as part of the DMA Design contingent this year. Heading down with Mike Dailly and Brian Watson to talk about mainly Lemmings. _I'll_ be blethering about Hired Guns most likely.

The Quiet One on the Bench
A man on a bench at Coventry station, fully absorbed in his newspaper while everyone else strides past with suitcases and rucksacks, making for the platform. He's wearing a shirt, shorts, and a shoulder bagwhose strap cuts across his chest. A huge Paul Hollywood stares down from an advert for the "only baking book you'll ever need", entirely ignored. The "Gentlemen" sign on the right, the "COVENTRY" lettering on the brickwork, the queue of travellers walking past and it all frames up nicely […] -

"When you outsource judgment about vulnerable children to a surveillance company, you are reaching into the very core of local democratic accountability. These are decisions that should be made by trained, experienced social workers embedded in their communities – not by an algorithm built by a firm whose first clients were spy agencies.”

Q&A afterCome to Coventry to this local cafe which is showing Fires and Fascism tonight! See how people are fighting back to create change.
In the film you'll see how locals in Portugal uprooted the highly flammable eucalyptus plantations, among other direct resistance actions to big business, capitalism, and the far right. The monocultures were replaced with trees much more suitable for the region.
Speaking of trees: in the local area, the work by the "Tree Amigos" and the Tree Sanctuary shows amazing community spirit! Come down to talk about what else is going on, and how any fears around the far right can be countered by community action and organisation.

#UK - '#FoodWaste could help our farmers'
Maisie Olah, 22 March 2026
"A Labour MP has said a new weekly food waste recycling service could help #farmers, by turning food waste into #fertiliser.
"Mary Creagh, MP for #Coventry East, said taking food waste out of black bins and putting it 'into #anaerobic digestion to create #digestate fertiliser' will help farmers due to fertiliser prices soaring because of 'conditions in the Middle East'.
"Coventry City Council will introduce a new weekly food waste recycling service for households in September - five months after the government's deadline.
"Twenty-three litre food caddies will be distributed to residents and will be collected five days a week, leaving other bins to be collected on different days of the week."

A message from Coventry Peace House:
#Coventry Peace House has a room available - we're a pretty quiet coop so
probably most suitable if you are already in Coventry or have another
reason to be here but we're a generally friendly bunch, the Coop has
lots of links to community and campaigning groups in the area and a
lovely big garden.Please pass on to anyone who might be interested and we can give more
details.Thanks,

:stargif: 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝑮𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒗𝒂: 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒂 𝒏𝒐𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒂𝒋𝒐𝒏𝒂 𝒚 𝒆𝒍 𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒍 :stargif:
La mujer detrás del mito se llamaba Godgifu. “Godgifu” significa “regalo de Dios”.
Vivió en la Inglaterra anglosajona del siglo XI y fue esposa de Leofric, conde de Mercia, uno de los hombres más poderosos bajo el reinado de Eduardo el Confesor.▪️Infancia y padres
Aquí entramos en terreno incierto.
No existe documentación directa sobre su nacimiento ni sobre sus padres.
Algunas hipótesis la identifican como posible hermana de Thorold de Bucknall, sheriff de Lincolnshire, pero no hay consenso firme.
Lo que sí sugieren los registros es que Godgifu poseía tierras por derecho propio, algo poco común para una mujer de la época.
Eso apunta a que probablemente nació en una familia noble de alto rango.Su fecha de nacimiento tampoco es segura, aunque la mayoría de los historiadores la sitúan alrededor del año 1010.
▪️Estatus y poder real
Godgifu no fue solo “la esposa de”. Aparece mencionada en el Domesday Book, el gran censo ordenado por Guillermo el Conquistador en 1086.
Es una de las pocas mujeres anglosajonas que conservaron propiedades tras la conquista normanda de 1066.
Eso indica que su riqueza no dependía exclusivamente de su matrimonio.Con Leofric tuvo al menos un hijo confirmado, Ælfgar, que llegó a ser conde de Mercia y de East Anglia.
Su nieta Edith de Mercia se casó con el rey Harold II, el último rey anglosajón antes de la conquista normanda.▪️Religión y fundación de Coventry
En 1043, Godgifu y Leofric fundaron el monasterio benedictino de Coventry.
La ciudad creció alrededor de esa fundación religiosa.
Las crónicas la describen como una gran benefactora: donó oro, tierras y objetos litúrgicos a distintos monasterios.El cronista Guillermo de Malmesbury menciona que, antes de morir, entregó un collar de piedras preciosas a una imagen de la Virgen María en Coventry, pidiendo que cada visitante rezara una oración por su alma.
Murió probablemente entre 1066 y 1086.
No hay indicios de muerte violenta.
Las fuentes discrepan sobre su sepultura: algunas la sitúan en Evesham; otras, junto a Leofric en el priorato de Santa María de Coventry.▪️El nacimiento de la leyenda
No existe ninguna fuente contemporánea que mencione la cabalgata desnuda.
La primera versión conocida aparece casi dos siglos después, en el siglo XII, en la crónica de Roger de Wendover.Según esa narración, los habitantes de Coventry sufrían impuestos excesivos.
Godiva suplicó a su marido que los redujera.
Él, convencido de que nunca aceptaría, le dijo que lo haría si atravesaba la ciudad desnuda a caballo.Ella aceptó.
Ordenó a los ciudadanos cerrar puertas y ventanas.
Cubierta solo por su cabello, recorrió la ciudad.
Leofric cumplió su palabra.Aquí es importante ser claros: no hay pruebas fiscales contemporáneas que confirmen un conflicto impositivo concreto en Coventry.
Tampoco evidencia de que el acto ocurriera.
La historia aparece en un contexto medieval donde los relatos moralizantes eran frecuentes.▪️Peeping Tom
El famoso “Peeping Tom” no pertenece al relato original medieval.
Surge mucho más tarde, en el siglo XVIII.
En esa versión, todos respetan la orden de no mirar excepto un hombre que espía y queda ciego como castigo divino.
Es una adición moralizante posterior.▪️Icono cultural
La imagen que todos tenemos de Lady Godiva se fijó en gran parte gracias al cuadro de John Collier de 1898.
Desde entonces, su figura ha sido reinterpretada en literatura, pintura y cultura popular.Aparece mencionada incluso en la canción “Don’t Stop Me Now” de Queen, donde Freddie Mercury la usa como metáfora de velocidad y libertad.
▪️Conclusión clara
Hecho histórico comprobado: Godgifu existió, fue terrateniente poderosa, benefactora religiosa y figura política relevante.
Elemento legendario: la cabalgata desnuda no tiene respaldo documental contemporáneo y aparece dos siglos después como relato ejemplarizante.
Lo interesante no es solo si ocurrió o no.
Lo verdaderamente potente es cómo una mujer real del siglo XI terminó convertida en símbolo universal de resistencia moral frente al poder.▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

Coventry City Council are running a “Let’s Talk” consultation on proposals to partly downgrade the separated cycleway in Binley, to include sections of shared use space on Clifford Bridge Road. This suggestion is a concerning one that puts the city’s second main separated cycle route at risk by adopted old-fashioned and inappropriate standards that risk
