Anglo-francophone.
Detest tories. Subscribe to green, leftish radical politics but not to any particular political party!.
Love the EU and all it stands for, moreover, I spent the last 10 years of my career working at an EU agency.
Enthusiastic photographer, especially wildlife and most especially butterflies.
Slightly knowledgeable gardener.
Atheist; loathe almost all religions and pity the people deluded enough to follow them. I make exceptions for Buddhism as it isn't really a religion in the strictest sense of the word as it doesn't postulate the existence of any god, and Jainism which is the epitome of peace.
For anyone who is interested, my header photo is of the most stupendous sunset I have ever seen. On the right is the waterfront of Vientiane, the capital of Laos, on the left is Thailand and in the middle, acting as the border between the two countries is the mighty Mekong river.

Israel's longest running paper, Haaretz, just confirmed that Netanyahu actively blocked every hostage deal since 10/7, Netanyahu meanwhile is openly planning to annex Gaza—& the conversation is still "why won't Hamas agree to a deal?"😐
This is how genocide perpetuates. Horrific.

Follow the money....
Elon Musk has given the Donald Trump presidential campaign $75mn....
Sure he can offer an impressive example of space craft retrieval by Space X, but this is a man who thinks Donald Trump is the better candidate for POTUS.
I'm saying nothing more....

I saw that film when it was first shown - it was utterly chilling.
I see the Archbishop of Cunterbury is spouting complete bollox about the euthanasia bill going through Parliament.
Doesn't the mindless old duffer realise that civilized countries have had such arrangements in place for countless years.
As a cancer sufferer myself I am comforted by the fact that in Luxembourg where I live, physician assisted suicide is legal so if it gets unbearable I won't have to suffer it right to the bitter end!
This is for all American "christians" out there - this will make you feel better!

"Donald Trump, the man who never misses a chance to scream about putting 'America First,' is selling 'God Bless the USA' Bibles that were printed in China.
For $3 a pop, these Bibles were shipped from a factory in Hangzhou, China to be sold to Americans for $60 each. Donald has spent years bashing China for supposedly stealing American jobs and undermining the economy."

Personally I prefer the name I invented - "Twatter" but I don't know whether it works in versions of English other than English English
Of course, silly me - what SUV can get through a raging torrent of 2 metre deep floodwater surging through a town or village taking cars and even houses with it - do tell!
