Yours is a pretty accurate analysis, You could perhaps add don't let a megalomanic run a country. Not that it could happen in a modern democracy, could it?

I wonder if there is, even among ‘decent people’ that we are mildly xenophobic, we are mildly agreement that apart from pensions, benefits need to be cut. We dislike vape shops, new barbershops, nail bars, car wash places! We seem to be ill served by both media and governments

I really don’t care what the leader of the opposition thinks about anything to be quite honest, and I don’t think many other people care much either.

I really hate to be rude, some people can wear a uniform and look right, on others the uniform seems to be wearing them. Sadly the commissioner of the met is in the latter camp. @declassifieduk.org

Not sure about the Brexit vote, I think it was as a reaction to immigration combined with a poke in the eye to Cameron and the elite?

I do agree that SKS is a Gentleman, I don't know who originated the winter fuel payments issue. I am very sad to see SKS go, he was an excellent 'grown up at the table' when representing GB internationally, but I am not sure he had the popular charisma he really needed. He IMO did good job.

Dr Michael Flannery @drmichaelflannery.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
He got the winter fuel allowance wrong, got embroiled in taking money for clothes, seemed to be tone deaf, should have supported Rayner, should not have supported Israel, But kept us out of Iran and did a great deal of good , I think he is honest but possibly not politically forceful enough

I am really not sure about voting influenced by economic issues, my gut feeling is that people vote ‘against’ things, not ‘ for ‘them. Governments tend to loose elections not oppositions winning them, I have no evidence to support any of the above

It's a real pleasure to have a new GC to read, but the dilemma is; to read it all in one go, or to dip in and out over the next few days? In prep for this, a bit like warming up before going for a run! I have nearly completed the re reading of all the previous GC's. Very many thanks for these books

I always get an "end of the pier" comic vibe or an 'afternoon bingo caller' vibe when looking at our Nige's choice of smutter. The 'cheeky chappie' conservative club's saturday evening comedian.

No he is not , he is being treated like a potential criminal which is quite different! And refreshing

His book States of Emergency formed the basis of my PhD, I shall be always grateful for this brilliant readable book. I have always listened with interest, to his R4 broadcasts. A great thinker and no doubt a National Treasure.

@adamrutherford.bsky.social A truly ringing endorsement! Is there any truth in the rumour that Count Binface has been genetically modified?
