Paul @p-chewy.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Or just come and celebrate FOM for the wonderfully liberating privilege it is for all of us. The freedom for our kids to explore nations, for my generation to upsticks with family and retirees to live seasonally without friction. It’s a political marvel 000
Paul @p-chewy.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Trump’s disdain for Ukraine predates his second term so it’s not really shocking. The bigger story is Trump’s treachery for his own country. US at war with Iran, Russia supports Iran with intel. Iran exports diesel to Russia. US procures diesel from from Russia. 040
Paul @p-chewy.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Hard to be positive about these polls (admittedly a me problem) when so many respondents “don’t know”. 12% of LD’s would vote to stay out??? I mean, fine - but what is about the LD’s you would give them your vote for? 🤷🏼♂️ 200

Paul @p-chewy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026was wondering with AI, we should be thinking less about the Terminator and more about the Lord of the Rings.

Paul @p-chewy.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Crazy read. Also reminds me that I don’t understand why a fish processed this way can be so cheap but a fish, caught, gutted and sold as is, entirely without any such processing is so damn expensive. I’m sure there are great reasons but give me a whole/part of a fish, bones and all any day. 000

Paul @p-chewy.bsky.social · 12/08/2026It’s also bollox. Classic Burnhamism actually - denigrate the South to promote the North, now shit talking the middle classes to establish working class credentials. I live in an affluent area- there are asylum seekers housed all over it. Adding - and most people know they’re here but don’t care 220

Paul @p-chewy.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Thanks for the opportunity. I’m intrigued because I don’t know the answers (and most IPA’s in pubs taste formulaic). I’d hoped some clever journo might be on the case. But if I can come up with something as a slow burner as I visit pubs across town I’d be happy to share it. drinking with purpose… 110
Paul @p-chewy.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I think most people know their lager is brewed in mega vats in the uk. What’s less know, and a follow up piece would be interesting is where all the premium IPAs in most pubs comes from. I doubt there even remotely close to the small batch local ales they purport to represent 130

Paul @p-chewy.bsky.social · 11/06/2026An upbeat appraisal of what otherwise seemed to be a stalemate in Ukraine.
