OK, let’s show these absolute bastards what we think of them. If you need alternatives - Bluesky (you’re here already, well done; Flashes; DuckDuckGo; Signal; read actual books; shop locally, cook for yourself and get out in your garden/nature/parks, fresh air. Don’t even dream of driving a Tesla.

Voting is a human right. Today in Germany, every vote shapes the future. 🗳️🇩🇪 Say no to hate. No to AfD. ❌🏛️ #Germany #NoToAfD #Democracy

A large crowd of protesters gathers outdoors, holding various signs and banners. One prominent sign in the center features the letters "AfD" crossed out in red, signaling opposition to the far-right party Alternative für Deutschland. A rainbow flag is visible in the background, along with other signs opposing extremism. Many demonstrators are wearing winter clothing, and the atmosphere appears determined and engaged.

The protection tubes they put around the young vines are sometimes plastic ones!

F**k Tr**mp and your plastic straws! We need less single use plastics, our oceans are already awash. Vineyards too. I was alarmed to see the results of a recent mole hill in our garden. Look closely and you’ll see it’s full of mulched plastic!

What a joy to be able to say that your vermouth is produced less than 100m from you house and barrel aged in the sun too!

Where are the protests like they are having in Berlin right now? Why is no-one taking to the streets in the US? Who is going to stop this madman before it’s too late?
