Fixed the 'invalid handle' message by changing my handle to sthg else, then changing in straight back. Works a charm.

Let’s say a Brit living overseas needs to return to the UK to take care of an elderly parent. The new rules announced yesterday mean that they would be unable to bring their families. They will effectively have to choose between caring for their parents or staying with their family. It’s pure evil.

'Yesterday, the government effectively banned the majority of British citizens from living in the country with a foreign partner. We should call it what it is. We should describe it by its qualities. It is a war on British multinational families.' iandunt.substack.com/p/the-price-...

Imagine thinking, in 2023, that the Parthenon Marbles belong anywhere other than Greece. UK government is an utter embarrassment. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There's a new station on the Bucharest metro, Tudor Arghezi, the first new station to open in three years. But why, given that Strada Tudor Arghezi is in the centre of Bucharest, some 10km from the new station, was a name more in keeping with its actual location not chosen?

Was asked today if my kids feel British or Romanian. I said neither, they're international, citizens of the world (although my eldest would probably say he was Scottish). I was told, 'That's a shame'. What nonsense! Nationality is a passport, an ID card, an administrative document. And nothing more.

Created a Bluesky feed for mentions of Romania: bsky.app/profile/did:... Not a great deal happening just yet (I also need to find a way of weeding out the crap).
