My thoughts on PR. One of the big problems with FPTP is when certain constituencies have built-in majorities. This must be recognised as a problem, why would anyone favouring a party that will not ever win bother to vote? Any new system must allow for much larger constituencies with multiple MP'S.

I don't follow football but apparently Man City have been naughty - 134 times. A few years back Saracens Rugby club were found to have cheated by finding not quite clever enough ways to pay their players more than the pay cap. They were relegated for 1 year. Man City for National league 1?

I understand that the US supreme Court has ruled in favour of Republican states using social security data to remove people "suspected" of not being citizens from voter rolls. Is this true and will it result in Trump not being held to account after the mid terms.

Watching American drama on TV. Nothing annoys me more than scenes supposedly shot inside a vehicle where the driver keeps looking at the passenger while driving. Is this actually an American thing or do TV directors do it on purpose to create a sense of danger or drama.

I notice that Reform are pulling a new variant on Trump's "people are saying" method of deflection from real problems. In Colchester they have made up a threat to public safety in order to employ their own members to patrol the streets as vigilantes.

Pictures of Strawberry pond Epping Forest, today. Water level about 70cm below normal. One of my favourite places.

Many posts on here referring 'Idiocracy.' But "Don't look up" also shows the dumbing down of America's media. Surely every news bulletin should begin with 'where are the Epstein files' and end with 'when will Trump be impeached. There really should be no coverage of the 'pravda' postings of Trump.
