botsworth.bsky.social @botsworth.bsky.social · 16/06/2026So it’s being reported that Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Prince George will go to Eton. So much for the Wales’s ‘having the common touch’. Apart from that observation, who gives a flying one? 010
botsworth.bsky.social @botsworth.bsky.social · 28/02/2026The Mail, in competion with the Reform House Journal (Telegraph) takes its normal considered approach to a by-election result it doesn’t like. ‘The Green Menace’🤣. Is that a Dr Who episode from 1972? 000
botsworth.bsky.social @botsworth.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Woke up. Checked result. Phew! Going back to sleep. 000
botsworth.bsky.social @botsworth.bsky.social · 23/02/2026I keep reading that the Greens are the bookies’ favourites for Thursday’s by-election but i didn’t check because i thought it was neck-and-neck. Just checked Betfair. Greens are 1/2 - ie, 66% chance. Reform ~ 21% chance and Labour ~ 13%. Oh please let the punters be right. 010
botsworth.bsky.social @botsworth.bsky.social · 13/02/2026Hi @simoncalder.bsky.social just for your collection of stories, I am in the passport queue at Krakow Airport. 45 mins so far, I estimate still less than half way to Border Control from where I started. Fun and games. 000
botsworth.bsky.social @botsworth.bsky.social · 26/01/2026When is someone with an influential voice going to stand up and say loudly and clearly that under international law it is legal to cross the Channel to claim asylum, and once someone does, they have to be processed, fed and housed under the law. There is no such thing as an ‘illegal’ asylum seeker 020
botsworth.bsky.social @botsworth.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Wow. Excellent responses by @heidialexander.bsky.social to what I thought was an unnecessarily shouty and over-assertive interrogation by @jeremyvine.bsky.social . Asking her to apologise for not ‘smashing the gangs’ in 14 months was absurd. 000
botsworth.bsky.social @botsworth.bsky.social · 21/09/2025Ooh look, a completely sane, reasonable, erudite person at the heart of the US Government. I don’t think I have seen or heard anything as scary apart from footage from, let’s think…about 1935. 021
