@mrjamesob.bsky.social If the citizens of Piddington village think they’re in some modern version of Passport To Pimlico, they are not quite getting either irony or post-war existential angst.

I can agree with much of this, but not all. KP has never been an easy item. He is passionate, a good thing in a sea of, let’s face it, mediocrity. But he has a bit of “victim” about him: never wrong, always put upon. Cricket does not encourage the whinging rebel. So this rebel has much to prove.

If anyone doubted that the BBC’s Chris Mason was an agent or, at least, a willing dupe, for the opposition, you’d only have to listen to his outrageously biased take on the Government’s move to tweak sanctions on Russian oil and gas. He knew the facts and twisted them beyond recognition.

The slaughter of 168 Iranian schoolchildren in Tehran - independently verified but denied by the world’s most brazen liar, Donald Trump- will one day be remembered as the biggest US war crime since the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam in 1968. Shame on you, America - and a lingering pox on your president.
