For the first time I’m considering cancelling my license fee and just swerving the BBC altogether. I am finding it all so depressing. And sad. And disappointing.

I’ve now become dependent on AI just like I am on SatNav in my car. But it’s happened so quickly. And I feel my brain is being hollowed out like Swiss cheese. Losing so many skills. Terrifying.

I actually think that’s exactly what I was doing. And I accept apology. Thank you. For the avoidance of any doubt: when visiting this place of unspeakably horrible history, the commentary might be best not on the quality of the cafe. But on the burden of humanity’s cruelty. Peace and love to you.

Oh that’s really very good. Well done. You can take the rest of the day off!

Also. Don’t forget to bring your own oat milk because, well, they only serve cows milk. So. It’s not a place for the lactose intolerant then either, huh. Didn’t know that.

Such arrogance. He’s smart. He’s worked hard. Where is his drive to help? Make the UK better? Instead of moving taxes out of Britain.

The EU has delivered greater stability across the continent, greater mobility for its citizens, and a single market that gives Europe global economic weight. An honour to hear President von der Leyen address the European Parliament today as we build a deeper partnership for the future.

This administration couldn’t have f’ed up in the Middle East more. It’s almost like they planned it to end up with Iran and houthis owning key sections of routes. Was this their plan all along?

And Burnham. He will no doubt take charge. Because. PM.

So so despairingly disappointed in Burnham. I so so very badly wanted him to be better. Despair. And depression. It’s all I feel now.

He talks about disallowing access to the dollar system. I wonder who this will benefit World Liberty Financial?

I think he’s prob homesick. I lived in California for years (admittedly in not such a fancy manner) but eventually it wears you down, all that lala stuff. That and the schools in a Montecito community of a few thousand probably not v varied. And yeah. It’s going to be tricky. I hope they’re happy.

YouGov polls must be the same ones that tell me the nation wants Farage as PM. People get paid to complete them as I understand it? This is admittedly biased but what’s the profile of people with time and headspace to earn pennies to fill out a form? Thx for data, tho. My experience must be unusual.

🇬🇧Alice Lankester🇬🇧 @lankester.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Again you’re citing unsubstantiated facts. “Most people”. Where is your evidence? You’re deflecting in a way to cover for a throwaway remark you made that seemed fairly ill informed. These weather patterns aren’t a jolly summer lark. Discussion has run its course. I wish you well. Stay cool.

010

🇬🇧Alice Lankester🇬🇧 @lankester.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Again “most people”? Respectfully, I would like to see you cite the evidence. And I believe these droughts go beyond just a warm, sunny summer. It’s causing issues for people and nature. A lot. I’m curious if you’re aware of that at all?

🇬🇧Alice Lankester🇬🇧 @lankester.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Do you know it was “majority attitude of the general public”. I’m hard pressed to believe that.

I found the is weather frankly quite scary. Was in Hyde Park today. Unrecognizable. And clearly trees v stressed.

Farmers haven’t. Trees haven’t. People on top floor flats haven’t. People who work outside haven’t. Bus drivers haven’t. Retail workers in non air conditioner shops haven’t. Disabled people who can’t get out and about haven’t. I could go on…oh and I’m none of those things. And I haven’t.

I veto rhetorical too! It’s ridiculous and the BBC should be ashamed. They’re not though.

🇬🇧Alice Lankester🇬🇧 @lankester.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

I absolutely could NOT believe my eyes when I saw that headline on the top of the BBC. Utter nonsense. The BBC we love is gone gone gone. It’s both sad and terrifying.

🇬🇧Alice Lankester🇬🇧 @lankester.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Have you been into that shop recently? Absolutely full of unwearable clothes and ridiculous overpriced stuff no one needs. Suppose it was for tourists only. Anyway, gone are the days of going to “Harvey Knickers” to solve a special occasion, or any occasion, clothing problem.

Bloody marvelous. Wish I could vote in Clacton for @countbinface.bsky.social A more profound and humiliating message to Farage could not possibly be sent.

“High volume vertical drinking”. Now there’s a phrase thats worth leaning into, albeit at a slight angle. I recall doing a lot of that in my youth… talk about the fun police.

Just heard a fab interview with @countbinface.bsky.social and Mary Beard / Charlotte Higgins. The Count advises that you can judge someone from how graciously they lose. Viz Argentina football team or Liz Truss vs Tim Henman or, indeed the Count himself. ABSOLUTELY!
