Working class, vegan FTA, runner (parkrun, marathon, ultra), lefty, Leyton Orient FC, granddad. London - Birmingham - Adelaide. I like to scream my unsolicited opinions about the tunes I'm playing into the void.

If Trump was really a great businessman he'd have changed the name of AI to AAI, so it would be higher up in the phone book.

Well I'm off to start a 12 hour nursing shift. If the Nursing Board have the audacity to ask me to reflect on why half my patients died, I'm going to say "We need to improve the atmosphere on the ward." #LOFC

I'm sure they'll be looking them up on Tinder and sexually harassing them like they did with that woman they arrested for peacefully protesting when one of their colleagues abducted, raped and killed someone.

Interesting contrast in the style of policing employed here as opposed to protests against gender violence, genocide or climate change. Wonder why that is? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
