Travelled a bit, including the South Atlantic for a while. Watched penguins in the Falklands. Now out to grass in Southwest London and exploring on 2 wheels.

You don't have to round up many tourists and put them in concentration camps in alligator infested swamps before the message gets out that you're no longer really a leisure travel destination.

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

My family came over in small boats in 1066. We took all the jobs and probably did some generalised raping. Immigrants these days are much better behaved.

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

In case you were wondering: Yes, there is a Jonathan the Great Tortoise angle to the Pam Bondi firing news.
Helena in Focus @sthelenafocus
X.com
Not only is Jonathan alive and well on St Helena, but during his time on the planet he has now seen off 76 US Attorney Generals, from the 11th Attorney General, Roger Brooke Taney, in 1832, to outgoing 87th Attorney General, Pam Bondi, in
2026. Jonathan is the great survivor.

Just a reminder that the Washington Treaty defines the geography of NATO’s mutual defense pledge — at U.S. insistence in 1949 — to prevent allies from committing us to their wars outside of Europe.

How come the #BBC politics reporters "understand" what Mandelson thinks about his sacking ("no criminality", etc). Do they have some telepathy device?
