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.

It's not the liars you should worry about. It's the people who want to be lied to

How could anyone possibly think this is someone you’d want your children to watch, to listen to, to emulate?
He is just a vulgar, old, chauvinistic senile man at this point.

How is the big news in America right now *not* that Trump simulated *multiple* sex acts with a microphone at a rally 96 hours before Election Day? What other news do voters need to be hearing about now? Explain it to me like I was't a journalism professor.

When you realize you just accidentally revealed Trump’s plan to kill tens of thousands of Arizona jobs and repeal the BIPARTISAN CHIPS act…

There seems to be a major media blackout regarding Trump simulating multiple sex acts on stage in Wisconsin last night—despite the fact that it was a sequence of events so bizarre and unsettling many voters will deem it disqualifying. I can't explain this.

Ask yourself: what would happen if Kamala Harris did this?
Yes. You saw right. This is Trump on stage at a rally, pretending to perform a sex-act on a microphone.
This is not normal. Trump is disgusting, unhinged and unfit to represent the United States. Vote him out.

Words well said by an extremely experienced and well-known Republican operative.
I have been hearing complaints from the town where I was raised, Eastbourne, of addresses only getting deliveries once a week if that! What price privatisation!
Rape, sexual assault, habitual lying and fraud appear to be aspirational for many US males!

Single most important graphic to share with MAGA:
Here are the words of 8 of Trumps top Generals.
Please tell me one good reason why we should take the words of the convicted felon who was found liable for FRAUD, over some of the most respectable men from his own time in the White House.
Please share.

Betty Bowers: "Trump's Closing Messages:
1. "Shoot Liz Cheney."
2. "Puerto Rico is garbage."
3. "My economic plan is going to cause you pain."
4. "I'm going to take away your healthcare."
5. "I'm going to drive up inflation with huge tariffs."
6. "I'm going to drive up the price of food by deporting the people who pick your vegetables." #politics
I don't know why Britain insists on continuing postal deliveries on a Saturday - most of the rest of Europe stopped them years back!
Here in Luxembourg, oddly, we do get parcel deliveries on a Saturday (a separate service under the Luxembourg Post banner) but no letter post!?!?

THIS JUST IN:
Car ban begins in the center of #Paris.
Starting on Monday, Nov. 4, 2024: no through-traffic will be allowed in four central arrondissements on the Right Bank. (Home to the Louvre, Notre-Dame, and the Marais).
This is a big deal.

The team I worked on tried to introduce Scrum. The main problem was that the guy who got appointed as Scrum leader (coordinator - head honcho or whatever) never turned up much before midday and the daily meetings were held at 09:00. So the guy who was supposed to be hosting them was never there!
He should have been fired for abysmal timekeeping but that didn't actually happen until 2 years later when the management finally realised he wasn't actually doing the hours he was claiming!

My 'alma mater' owned a huge chunk of the town of Eastbourne. It doesn't bear thinking about the amount of money that the town is losing in income due to the charitable status rules on educational establishments. I'd screw them for every last penny!
