It was wet and gloomy last night (too wet for a long walk), but we checked: local ale, local gin and a phenomenal meal at the Whippet Inn.

A friend asked yesterday if I wanted to talk on (a major radio channel) about the missile that fell in Przewodów from the perspective of a Pole living in Scotland. Emotive questions were suggested, e.g. will there be a war, who’s missile was it.
I mean. I’m not an expert. But I thought there already was a war? Will the war escalate? Again, not an expert. I hope it won’t, in fact I hope it will end soon and the suffering of the Ukrainian people will end soon as well. Am I scared it will escalate? Sure, I bloody am and so should you - if it escalates it won’t escalate just to Przewodów. But again, not an expert to comment on various escalation scenarios. Who fired the missile? Not an expert. Didn’t track it. Don’t have data. There was a number of press conference organised by people who do have access to data and they presented the most likely scenario.
I said ‘no’ to the request. Primarily because as a comms person I think it’s bad practice to speak to the media in a private capacity (most of the time). I also didn’t comment because (as a trained not practicing journalist) I just don’t understand why you’d ask such questions of a non-expert. And sure, I can talk about how I feel. Not sure there’s many words to describe it. Not sure there’s anything useful to say.
What I did today though was I pinned a yellow and blue sunflower brooch to my winter coat.

So USS decided this is the right messaging because you know crisis of living and we all are going to die. #crisisofliving #pension
