Reposted by Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦Jay Hulme @jayhulmepoet.bsky.social · 18hI always found it interesting, when I spent November in The USA, how little they could comprehend the shortness of our days in winter, and how amazed I was by their long hours of daylight, and it all came down to the fact that the UK is much much further north than people think. 2525436
Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 17hThe UK is actually further north than most of Canada!! The Gulf Stream keeps us warm though, so despite even Cornwall being north of every large Canadian city it's much more temperate here 110

Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Whilst I am wholly confident NATO would comfortably win a conventional war with Russia - even if the United States were to refuse to come to our aid - I am incredibly skeptical that it would be quick. Ukraine's position is not the same as NATO's, but the current era of military technology favours 100
Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I do sometimes wish I just wasn’t interested in politics, it’s so exhausting and depressing and tbh it does kinda bring out the worst in me a lot of the time (because I’m argumentative/stubborn and feel the need to have the last word, rather than realising some people aren’t worth engaging with) 100
Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Imagine seeing the news coverage and thinking “yes, this is what I should say” 010

Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Anyways before I wrap up talking about it - I don’t believe that the motion represents the views of most green members (hell the vast bulk of them didn’t vote at all). Many are lovely people and, whilst I disagree on a lot of economic stuff, joined the party for their positions on many of the areas 100
Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I think what members who voted for the motion need to think about is what happens if they get what they want. If Israel is abolished and replaced in its entirety, how are they going to feel when their social media feeds are now filled with Jewish families, including children and the elderly, 100
Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I’m so out of date on Japanese politics I didn’t realise the LDP changed their colours to red 000
Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Obviously I know that they have a 2 round system etc, it’ll go to a second round. But considering the polls consistently had Lula winning a plurality in the first round and struggling in the second, I wouldn’t hold out much hope he can pull it back 000
Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I mean that’s just a bit pathetic mate, coulda put in a bit more effort 100
Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Leaving aside everything else, it’s a completely moronic political own goal. They’re doing nothing to dispel concerns the party has been taken over by anti semites and cranks 130
Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Trying to bring a blackbird back into use is manifest stupidity What would even be the point 000
Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Leaving aside the fact that petrol cars being made expensive is arguably a good thing… an independent Scotland would not have cheaper fuel, unless the SNP is proposing either putting up export tariffs, or not having tariff free access to its largest trading partners 000
Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Hard to overstate how increasingly angry I am at the populist right that are trashing everything we (y'know, humanity) have built, and those who have voted for them. 000

Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I do think the news agents on their discussion on the EU missed the mark on what Europe might expect joining to look like. We may not get the rebate, but it’s v unlikely they demand we join Schengen or the euro. Many eu members do not use the euro (Denmark also has an opt out, the others just 100
Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Once again taking the frankly offensive stance that nowhere else has autonomy. Every bad action has to be some natural, inherent, justified consequence of the west’s actions. Also most of Easter Europe moved away from communism without becoming murderous kleptocracies 052
Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Banning the Arab parties in Israel is pretty appalling anti democratic. Ra’am is … a questionable party and I’m not a fan but the Joint List does not appear to have done anything that justifies being barred. I mean the application was filed by Likud ffs 100

Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Speaking of, it’s weird that Africa is often talked about as a singular entity so often. We sorta do the same with Europe, but that’s because of the EU (and we rarely mean *all* of Europe), and nobody ever talks about Asia that way 100
Rose 🇭🇰🇺🇦 @rosewasnthere.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The guardian is being a bit dramatic with its coverage of the UN map vote.
