Martin @radders.bsky.social · 10hAnd does this leave the door open to say they can't do anything, move along, nothing to see here? 000
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 10hI heard an interview earlier this week with a lady who witnessed the attempted execution of Christa Pike and it was the 5th one she'd been a witness to. That is next level fucked up and I'd wager good money she's in church every Sunday 051
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 19hI read this recently and the return to power of that group is soul destroying bookshop.org/p/books/how-...bookshop.orgHow to Save the Amazon: A journalist’s fatal quest for answers“A book both brilliant and broken, [and] one that is ultimately as inspiring and devastating as the Amazon itself.”—The Guardian"The book nearly died with him in the Amazon.

Martin @radders.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Thanks Georgina. For the UK. Are the current right leaning countries as right as Le Pen and the AfD? I don't get that impression from what I read but I probably read the wrong stuff. Genuine question, excuse my ignorance. 100
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Fascinating stuff as always, thank you. Can I ask a question? Is it a consideration that some EU members are lurching to the right, especially DE and FR, politically? 110
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I just finished and it explains why this sorry state of affairs happens but holy crap there are some dangerous people gaining a foothold because folks just want instant gratification which never arrives www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/produc...worldofbooks.comHow to Save the Amazon'Ultimately as inspiring and devastating as the Amazon itself' The Guardian'Bold, pacy, bursting with optimism and filled with vivid descriptions, this is the work of an indomitable soul&#... 010
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The reference is lost on me. During COVID I thought his pieces were good, I'm prepared to listen to reasons why not 010
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It's when they get to thoughts and prayers that you know they're serious 020
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 04/10/2026 @thenewsagents.co.uk had an interesting debate about this last week. Parallels with Blair kiboshing the Saudi arms investigating, albeit for a deal signed by the previous govt, and also UAE investment levels in Manchester regeneration and oh what a tangled web they have weaved 000
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Exactly the same here. Saw the recommendation, downloaded it straight away. 010
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Eau no. Literally. It's that downward trend into the autumn that jumps out 000
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Bad. It'll be interesting to hear @platypuseconomics.bsky.social take on it so 010
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I think Rooney said it wouldn't be fair to take the titles away. But surely the titles were won by cheating the finances which....is.....not......fair? 000
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 02/10/2026So essentially they are going to treat her and then try to kill her again? 0101
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 01/10/2026They always nod to themselves when they're spouting this crap 010
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I hope he gave that interview from the driver's seat in his Range Rover 010
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It was JD Vance who alerted the security services when the sofa failed to be delivered to his friend in the Cotswolds 020
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I get that, it happens in many professions. But when it ends in a fireball, that doesn't seem to be part of the plan. Have a good evening 🤗 040
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I'm old enough to remember when South Africa were boycotted in the sporting world. It all adds up, if you do it. 010
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Granted, but it's still unwatchable with the sound off, unless he makes an arse of himself like not being able to walk in a straight line yesterday 1150
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The meme with the greatest amount of effort expended, and completely worth it 020
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Why does Melania do keep doing 3 stairs and stopping? Making sure she's always behind him? 010
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I honestly thought they would wriggle out of the charges. Surely that means an absolute hammering in the penalty they receive? Stripped of titles, relegated, etc. 110
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 22/09/2026An old boss described it as charisn'tma, and that's exactly what JD has🙂 010
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 21/09/2026the one in front of her looks like she's losing brain cells in real time 0110
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Morons. Absolute fucking morons. The elected, and those who put them there. My parents are in Essex and one of the councillors spent 10 years (the wheels grind slowly) to reduce a local speed limit to 20mph near a school. Reform have thrown it out. 020
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Absolutely. I thought I saw Toure by the tunnel at half time? 100
Martin @radders.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Agreed. The "tactical analysis" sections in the pink game by game should be turned into this Vs last season 010
