  4. Belle Stewart (1906–1997) – singer, storyteller, tradition-bearer – was born #OTD, 18 July, in a bow tent on the banks of the Tay at Caputh, near Blairgowrie. She ranks alongside Jeannie Robertson in the roll of the finest Scots ballad-singers.

  6. The Tinker Experiment was a UK government policy (1940-1980) that forcibly settled Scottish Gypsy Travellers into substandard housing. No electricity until 2010.

    Children taken from families. The Church of Scotland was complicit. In 2025, Scotland finally said sorry — but victims want reparations, not just words.

  8. By the way, the book is out now on Leach Press: The New Age Travellers: A History by Dicky Dread

    leach.press/books

    The New Age Travellers – A History (1960–1990) traces the rise, everyday life and suppression of Britain’s New Age Traveller movement. From squats, free festivals, punk and peace camps to convoy living, it tells how thousands rejected property, hierarchy and wage labour in favour of communal, mobile lives. Drawing on lived experience and social history, the book captures creativity, hardship and mutual aid on the road, alongside growing media hostility, policing and legal repression. It culminates in the Battle of the Beanfield and its aftermath, arguing that this was not a lifestyle fad but a serious cultural and political challenge – one whose spirit survived long after the crackdowns.

  10. I normally don't share YouTube videos (because fuck YouTube), but this one feels to important not to: youtu.be/mWkF2ZwpRyc

    "Why the UK crushed the traveller convoys" read by Dicky Dread from the book he is writing
    “The conflict was never simply about caravans or festivals. It became a wider struggle over visibility, land and who gets to live outside conventional systems.”

    In this video:
    – The origins of the traveller convoy movement
    – Stonehenge, Beanfield and state confrontation
    – How free festivals, ravers and travellers became linked
    – Why alternative living became politically controversial

  12. 🇬🇧✈️ The #UK government has announced contingency plans to reduce the risk of flight disruption during the summer holidays, amid ongoing global uncertainty linked to the Middle East conflict. While there are currently no jet fuel supply issues, a rapid consultation will consider temporarily relaxing airport slot rules, allowing #airlines to adjust schedules in advance. Measures could include consolidating flights, returning unused slots without penalty, and avoiding near-empty services, helping minimise last-minute cancellations. The aim is to give passengers greater certainty and enable earlier rebooking where needed. Ministers say #travellers remain entitled to refunds or re-routing if flights are cancelled, and to assistance during significant delays. Industry leaders have welcomed the proactive approach, stressing operations remain normal but supporting contingency planning.
