They took me out of the EU so I ran off to the foothills of the Pyrenees. Love outdoor pursuits but getting to an age where I hurt myself rather too much. Keep trying though. Watching UK being destroyed by tories is heartbreaking. I want back in to the #EU

This article ( read most of it free in Reader) - talks about the US , but also East Asia and Japan - and is certainly applicable to the UK too. How ironic that at a time the world needs the mobility of immigration , most countries are hell-bent on eliminating it. www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

I think the reason this is happening now is that they think they’ve won that not only will Trump win again but he will do so in such a way that it will no longer be socially acceptable to dislike him, and they won’t have to be embarrassed ever again let us disabuse them of this notion

the thing about the sticker mule guy is: I know a lot of business owners have terrible politics, but I think it's still worth showing these ghouls that it will cost them customers when they send "prayers up for fascists" emails. they need to learn to be more embarrassed.

Latest post looks at Russian attacks on Ukrainian society - and in particular health care and energy supplies - and sees patterns from the Syrian war. The aim is to coerce Ukraine into surrender but while it undoubtedly hurts it shows no sign of having that effect. open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/l...

Pollster Frank Luntz: “what happened in PA will definitely impact the final vote, guaranteeing that every Trump voter will actually vote. Biden, or any other candidate the Democrats put up, will not have the same participation certainty. That participation gap is worth…as much as 2%.”

Classrooms full of kids murdered, but the only time America starts a national conversation about “turning back from violence” is when an old white guy gets a bit of blood on his ear.

When I say this, it's absolutely not for comic effect; we *really* need to -somehow- address the phenomenon of people who may well be suffering from serious personality disorders getting into positions of real power.
