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.

Kemi Badenoch's widely reported assertion that a future Tory Govt. would ramp up exploitation of North Sea reserves until the basin was drained, just indicates why the Tories are a spent force...
Britain's future (like the world's) lies in a green transition, both for environmental reasons but also as regards effective & efficient continued energy production.
That she cannot see that (like many of the global political class) tells us all we need to know about the Tories' future...
Ah - that's handy, isn't it!

I already knew that you had to be completely fückin brain-dead to support Reform UK, but actually dead it taking it a bit far!
It's interesting to contrast the cowardice of the sons of many of the rich and famous like trump in the USA, with the most famous family in the UK, the royal family.
Trump got a deferment through being unfit to serve even though he had been adjudged fit previously (Lieutenant Bone Spurs) and George W Bush got posted to the National Guard. Neither ever served in Vietnam even though they should have done!
Contrast that with Prince Andrew, the Duke of York who was a helicopter pilot on the front line in the Falklands war and was in harms way ever day he was there!
One of the jobs Prince Andrew (and other helo crews) was assigned was to hover his helicopter just above the vessel on which he was based so as to cause sea-skimming missiles to see the helicopter as the target rather than the warship itself! The idea was that the sea-skimming missiles were never designed to fly more than a few metres above the sea's surface so locking on to the helicopter would cause it to fly above the ship but below the helicopter. Prince Andrew himself recounted an event that caused the Royal Navy to stop using helicopters as a decoy when under attack by sea skimming missiles. A missile actually flew over the top of the helicopter rather than between the ship and the helicopter as was expected!
Likewise with Prince Harry who crewed an Apache attack helicopter on the front line in Afghanistan. His life was on the line during every sortie!

Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.

I spent 10 years as a motorcyle courier/delivery driver. I noticed that 90% of drivers are careful and considerate. What was annoying was it was only the other 10% using the roads whenever I was.🤬

ICE is offering a $132K to $185K per year for supervisory roles & $306K per year to concentration camp managers. Both jobs have ZERO education requirement.
Meanwhile the average starting salary is $46,526 for teachers and $68,485 for nurses. Both jobs require a Bachelors degree & often a graduate degree.
It's a lie that we can't pay teachers & nurses. An uneducated and sick populace is easier to control, creates higher crime rates, and feeds the prison industrial complex. This is by design.

The people of Britain can rest peacefully tonight safe in the knowledge that this dangerous terrorist is locked up.

Don't you know that you're toxic... Meta goes from ghosting to gaslighting.
After our direct action last week, Meta is now replying to 10k requests to opt out of Stalker Ads.
And it's a fudge... they talk about not using personal data for some direct marketing. But don't mention targeted ads!

Meta profits by using your personal data for advertising.
By crunching your data into profiles, you become a target for advertisers and a cash cow for Meta.
Their latest attempt to claim to have honoured people's opt out request while ignoring the actual issue is shady stuff.
