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.

Russel Brand, allegations of sex offences
The next media sex scandal is gaining pace as the police ask the CPS to consider charging Russel Brand with historic sex offences.
Given he's all but bragged about them on TV & social media and a couple of documentaries have secured testimony from his (alleged) victims, it would now be odd if the CPS decided it was either not in the public interest or there was insufficient chance of gaining a conviction.

I hadn't thought much in the past about the issue of a wife misleading her husband about her vote. There are obviously circumstances where it would be reasonable. But I'm struck by the vehemence of reactions from many MAGA men. I guess bullies are at heart fearful and insecure?

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.
