A Practice Video
Creating videos is not a strong point of mine but I was moved this morning to write a poem – which I ran through |Perplexity AI so is a joint production – after listening to coverage of the Gorton and Denton by-election which takes place on Thursday 26th February 2026. I have been impressed with the Green Party candidate and while I am not a member of that party (or indeed any party … been there, done that etc.) I think they offer hope at the moment which is lacking from other parties and their representatives. Here’s the poem:
I also asked Google Gemini to make an image to accompany the poem:
And that led me to practice some video skills for the upcoming projects for two of the three current modules:
Mistaken Identity!
So … I posted my video on TikTok and started to get some views – a few derogatory about my doggerel and others not so keen on the progressive political message. Such is life. I was especially pleased to get a message from Hannah the Plumber but less delighted when it emerged that there are two Hannah the Plumbers and I had tagged the wrong one.
This Hannah is US based and not standing for parliament at all but she was so pleased to be mentioned in a poem so she asked me if I’d do one especially for her. So here it is … Hannah the Plumber US Remix version and this time I have also tagged Hannah the Plumber MCR who IS standing for the Green Party later this week.
