In the good old days, our beloved BBC (as it then was) broadcast a weekly Letter from America - the musings of veteran journalist Alastair Cooke. One has to wonder what a commentator of Cooke’s ilk would make of Trumpleshitstain’s present day empire …

I’m confused - do posts here on W automatically post to Bluesky as well or have I done something to link my accounts?

Also, what will become of my Welsh born children who also have an English mother?

Can anyone help? Since hearing Sewerella Braverman I am worried that I may have an identity crisis. I was born in Wales and have lived here all my life but my mother is English. Does this mean I have to become English or can I rely on the fact that my father is pure Welsh going back generations?

The confected hysteria over a change proposed for three years hence - which if it had been introduced from next year would have meant a difference of less than 20p a week - is indeed something to behold …

@bbc - you need to get your shit together on your online weather forecast. How does today’s graphic of sunshine and thunderstorms tie in with the actual forecast showing clouds til 1700, with a bit of sun for an hour, then rain and a thunderstorm at 1900 for an hour?

I wonder if Trumpleshitstain’s minions realise that - come the day of reckoning (if the grim reaper hasn’t got him first) - he is going to pull a Ponochet and claim that his dementia means he can’t be tried. Meanwhile they will have nowhere to hide …

I’m on the app - it seems that whenever I move to somewhere covered by my wi-fi extender or go out of WiFi coverage it logs me out and I have to log in again

Ok W - do you really have to log me off every time I move from my chair? It’s getting a bit of a pain now to be honest.

We see a lot about the ‘fact’ that the UK state pension is one of the lowest in Europe but does that take into account things like free travel, prescriptions, discounted entry etc? Not banging any particular drum, just curious …

I’m not quite old enough to remember but before the cult of Thatcher were we in the UK really that obsessed with the leaders or was the party line more important?

Michael Ian Powell @michaelianpowell.wsocial.eu · 21/09/2026

Odd - I don’t remember Keir Starmer ‘announcing’ that Ken Skates was the Labour leader in Wales or Badenough ‘announcing’ Darren Millar. Almost as though Reform in Wales is just Fartrage’s sock puppet …

You really think Sting and Brandreth are ‘interesting’? If Davey had been given as big a platform as Fartrage then people would of least have had the opportunity to evaluate his policies

Just had the misfortune to catch Laura K’s ‘programme’. Has she given up any pretence at being a serious political journalist? FFS - Giles Brandreth and Sting had way more airtime than Ed Davey!

I want to go back to a time when villages kept their own idiots and grumpy old men just shook their sticks at kids instead of beating young women over the head with them.

Am I the only one wondering how Fartrage will manage to keep busy during the HoC conference recess seeing as the Reformistas have already had their bash?

Anyone taking bets on how long it will be before there are actual fistfights between Reformista politicians like their Ukipper forbears?
