Retired software engineer & woodworker.
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 does rather sound like he was much more frank with the king than he was with the public at large - either that or there is evidence that we as mere commoners have not been permitted to see!
I saw a royal commentator suggest on TV that Andrew might end up in prison - I find that a bit hard to believe - on what charge?
I think that's dangerous road to venture down. People in politics have to feign liking; admiration even, for the most odious of people (trump for example). Guilty just for associating goes way, WAY too far!
I met trump once - am I guilty of the horror of all his crimes by association?
