£10bn for a British “Iron Dome” sounds impressive until you ask what £10bn actually buys. We already have air-defence systems and are expanding them. The question isn’t whether Britain needs better air defence. It’s whether this is the smartest way to spend £10bn. #Defence #BritanniaShield

German intelligence has a pretty long history of being a mess: Nazi-era baggage, Soviet infiltration, compromised operations and repeated scandals. So when another German spy scandal blows up, it’s worth remembering this really isn’t anything new. #Germany #Intelligence

I’m a boring person when it comes to social media posting, and I’m just not into the whole public performative stuff,

Apparently, compassion now requires a posting schedule. Miss a few hashtags and suddenly you’re morally bankrupt. Thank God social media is here to keep score of everyone’s humanity. Some of us will stick to actually doing things instead.

Apparently I’m on a list for “downplaying Palestinian suffering” because I don’t post about it enough. 😂 Good to know compassion is measured by how often you post. If only they knew what I’ve actually done. Some of us don’t need an audience. That’s all I’ll say.

7/7 🇪🇸 My view of the numbers The current polling points to a very different Congress from 2023, with PP + Vox above the majority threshold in RTVE’s average. But I’m not calling the result 54 days early. Let’s see what the voters actually do. #SpainElection

6/7 🇪🇸 Housing could change things Thousands have protested over Spain’s housing crisis, making it a major campaign issue. Sánchez is betting that housing can mobilise voters. Whether that actually changes the polling is another matter entirely. #SpainElection #Housing

5/7 🇪🇸 But polling isn’t destiny Spain has 54 days until polling day. The electoral system matters, turnout matters and regional parties matter. The current numbers show the parliamentary arithmetic, not what the final Congress will look like on 29 November. #Spain

4/7 🇪🇸 The left has a problem RTVE’s average puts PSOE on 104 seats and Sumar on just 10. Even the eight parties that backed Sánchez’s 2023 investiture would total only 145 seats on this model. That’s well short of the 176 needed. #SpainElection

3/7 🇪🇸 Vox changes the maths Vox is currently projected on 65 seats, compared with 33 at the 2023 election. That’s the big change. A stronger Vox makes the parliamentary arithmetic very different from 2023 and puts a potential PP-Vox government firmly into the equation. #Spain

Mikey/Leon or Sonic when it’s crunch time @lordofthevan.wsocial.eu · 06/10/2026

2/7 🇪🇸 The numbers RTVE’s polling average has PP on 137 seats, PSOE on 104, Vox on 65 and Sumar on 10. PP + Vox would therefore reach 202 seats, comfortably above the 176 needed for an absolute majority. But it’s a poll, not a result. #SpainElection

1/7 🇪🇸 Spain goes to the polls Sánchez has called a snap election for 29 November after his government lost two housing decrees in Parliament. The housing crisis will be central to the campaign, but this is also effectively a test of his wider record. #Spain #SpainElection

I know it is never going to happen, but if fraternities are the source of so much harm in American society and its universities then surely there are strong arguments for having them abolished?

There used to be quite a few traditional greens in my home area, they were quite clued up on environmental/climate/renewables issues etc.. The “newer” ones I’ve met just parrot lines & I get the distinct impression they don’t fully understand what they are saying,

Mikey/Leon or Sonic when it’s crunch time @lordofthevan.wsocial.eu · 05/10/2026

The Greens have 226,000+ members, yet only around 1,800 voted on the “Zionism is racism” motion. Voting was self-selecting, so less than 1% took part. Can that really be presented as representing the membership as a whole? #GreenParty #Politics

Oh,I don’t pretend to fully understand & there’s probably things I have missed , I just don’t think in all honesty this was a good idea by the Green Party to do this, Guess we’ll find out over the coming days,weeks etc..

“Very revealing.” My account is literally new, it’s only been active since August. So your forensic analysis of what haven’t posted about over the last three years is rather impressive, given I didn’t have an account for most of that time. Maybe check the dates before the moral grandstanding.

Brilliant. Change “Israeli” to “German” and “Palestinian” to “Jewish” and apparently you’ve demolished my argument. 😂 That’s not a rebuttal. It’s swapping two words and pretending you’ve made a point. If that’s your best, I’ll pass.

Mikey/Leon or Sonic when it’s crunch time @lordofthevan.wsocial.eu · 04/10/2026

I understand where you’re coming from, and I appreciate you explaining it. My concern is that Zionism isn’t one uniform ideology. There are different forms with different views on Palestinian rights, borders, settlements and Israel’s future. That distinction matters.

Did you actually read my post? I said I’m concerned about the direction of the Green Party. I didn’t say Zionism is beyond criticism, any more than I said Nazism is. If you need to invent an argument I never made, you’ve got nothing useful to say about mine.

Mikey/Leon or Sonic when it’s crunch time @lordofthevan.wsocial.eu · 04/10/2026

That’s a lazy deflection. You’ve gone through my posts looking for something to attack rather than addressing what I actually said. I can criticise the Green Party’s direction without providing you with a Gaza posting history as a prerequisite for having an opinion.

Mikey/Leon or Sonic when it’s crunch time @lordofthevan.wsocial.eu · 04/10/2026

I’m seriously concerned about the direction of the Green Party. When most of your MPs oppose a policy but members vote it through, it looks like the party is being dragged further into ideological politics and away from the broader issues voters expect it to focus on. #GreenParty #UKpolitics

Mikey/Leon or Sonic when it’s crunch time @lordofthevan.wsocial.eu · 04/10/2026

The Greens have just voted 1,022–813 to officially treat Zionism as racism. You can oppose Israeli government policy, support Palestinian rights and condemn abuses without declaring an entire political movement inherently racist. This is ideological politics replacing nuance. #GreenParty #Politics

The current card can only hold 300, okay for a day or two (for me) but any longer than that, not ideal! When I went to Marrakech for 4 days I took about 500!

They recommend specific settings for the cards, the ones I have currently are okay and acceptable, but they are like about 7 years old and just about work, but the bigger issue is storage, they are relatively small cards in devices with bigger image quality, guess I better start saving!

Obviously the parents have a specific skill set, given Australia’s T&C for emigrating, not exactly the easiest country to move to generally, the level of discourse is rising in Australia as far as I can tell , so I’m not entirely sure they won’t have the same issues as here eventually?

Anyone doing delivery or courier work should face robust identity, right-to-work and appropriate security checks before being given access to people’s homes, businesses and addresses — regardless of nationality or immigration status.
