There is no point "re-tweeting" something on Musk's cesspit (I know, why keep an account open... triumph of hope over expectation). So, a RT here for professor Treadwell's endorsement! Yes, I am that desperate 😂 open.substack.com/pub/a8drewso...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social as often happens, you've touched on a topic that is in my forthcoming Substack essay. Why we need a war effort... This is where HS2 came in... 8000 permits!

A way of life... in 1978 a psychologist diagnosed it as my social addiction. These events were the ones leading up to the diagnosis - the kind of events you don't see in the Guardian article, the difference between subculture and Pseudo subculture a8drewson.substack.com/p/m62-thieve...

Couple of nice reviews of Freedom - I remember him going at a time when it was clearly dangerous. A worrying time. @mrjamesob.bsky.social Old stuff, but I think you'll appreciate his commitment to getting all sides of the story

@mrjamesob.bsky.social you mentioned people who did other things (implying not writing) because of their dyslexia. This is the most dyslexic person I have ever known - his notes to me were unreadable. Fantastic writer!

BBC Brexit and false balance - complained in 2016 about this. Green = independent report Blue = Remain-tilted BBC comment Yellow = Brexit-loaded material No highlighting = BBC comment How broadcast norms can amplify misinformation without endorsing it outright. @mrjamesob.bsky.social Lamy vs Leadsom

On truth, narrative and the stories we inhabit. From court lists, letters and newspaper reports to the harder question of emotional truth, identity, and what later selves make of earlier lives. open.substack.com/pub/a8drewso...

Machiavelli warned that a show of power without strategy is usually a path to disaster. It’s a lesson that still seems to be going unheard. New piece on what he might make of current geopolitics. open.substack.com/pub/a8drewso...

Excuse the repeat - @mrjamesob.bsky.social something you said - it is as meaningful as the Village People giving him their gold disc... though at least he has danced to the tune

Yeah, you are one of the bots trying to undermine Labour. So much for your effort to find the truth... you only spread disinformation

James @mrjamesob.bsky.social I don't know why you're buying into the Netanyahu back slapping line that on Trump could have done it where Biden and @barackobama.bsky.social could not. It turns reality on its head

Dr Andy Wilson @a8drewson.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

This is why I think you're @mrjamesob.bsky.social giving Trump too much credit - good but not "the only one who could have delivered" And my question was deserving of a Nobel? Not for me... maybe yes from you! a8drewson.substack.com/p/does-trump...

"They want me to sell which i already said i will but the way the try to do make it slowly and like they do not want me to sell at all. Why i said this was if all smooth look good then maybe already sell but the way they try to convince the buyers they may buy cheaper"

What should Labour do? A dose of honesty - the country is in a hole. Brexit is a big part of the problem - flags over the town hall is as good as raising it on the Titanic. This was my email to Rachel Reeves long before the poo hit the fan - a way out of the pension problem @mrjamesob.bsky.social

CNN Business - Not so much "when America catches a cold the world sneezes" but more when America goes into the cold, the world freezes - trite but Trump's isolationist drive is a high stake gamble with stability and health - not just economic health

I like this recycling academics by putting them to useful purpose... though, I think you're doing more on the skill side. My efforts are a more in the backbreaking (or finger trapping) category
