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.

You can bet your life that Blojob Johnson wouldn't forget his ID to log in to a porn site!
I once worked for an company who had its fair share of cock-ups. The guy leading a large part of their development team had trained as a butcher!
I have never understood why anyone thinks other people's sexuality is any of their fucking business!
So long as it's not directed at children and doesn't involve rape, feel free to express your physical sexuality in any way that pleases you! That's my take on things!

It is widely rumoured that Theresa May was not aware of that distinction either!
The thing that astonishes me is that the tories (I refuse even to give them a capital letter) really thought that the absolutely ghastly woman they put up as a candidate had a cat in hell's chance of winning!
the IHRA can ram their definition of anti-semitism up their fucking collective arses!
The utter detestation of Israel for their heinous acts of cruelty up to and including the wholesale murder of women and children is not anti-semitism, it is normal and natural. It seems that a great many people throughout the world agree that point of view judging by the number of protests and demonstrations.
Who gives a flying fuck what the IHRA think or don't think?

Always remember "the French don't have a word for entrepreneur"
Given that British nurses are paid a miserable pittance compared to most of it's near neighbours, it seems likely that most nurses recruited will come from 3rd world countries where there is already a shortage of nurses thus depriving poorer countries of the nursing staff they so desperately need.
I wouldn't expect the filthy tory scum to even consider that aspect of their policies; they are far too selfish!

Exactly, I would definitely be a green voter but in the constiturëncy where I am entitled to vote, Eastbourne, only the lib-dems have a chance of unseated the worthless tory so I will be voting Lib-Dem or "anti-tory scum" as I like to put it!
The Throwback by Tom Sharpe had me laughing out loud many times!

Palestinians are Semitic People.
Nothing says #antisemitism like the murder of 35000 Semitic Civilians in #Gaza
The students who are demonstrating in the USA aren't anti-Semitic, they are PRO-semitic and anti-Genocide.
The zionist rightwing Israeli government is Anti-semitic and PRO-Genocide
Its not that fucking difficult to understand.

Mass graves in Gaza show victims’ hands were tied, says UN rights office
