Ex-Royal Navy, anti-Brexit, lefty, and a long-suffering Saintsfc fan, now in Canada. At least the maple syrup’s sweet! 🇨🇦 No DM please, jeez!

Just when you start to forget the total mess of Brexit and then you join the back of the queue at the EU border and it hits you right in the face!

I just saw they’re kicking all the criminals out of Washington… so does that mean Trump has to pack his bags?

We’ve had smartphones in our pockets for over a decade now; basically supercomputers that can access the entire sum of human knowledge in seconds. So how come it feels like people are getting dumber?

I went through the same thing with Brexit; I lost my business over that nonsense; for a while, I truly thought I’d never be able to trust people again. Thankfully, you do still find that trust for family—eventually; though I’ll admit, I’m always a little on guard now.

I wonder if all the damage Trump is doing doesn’t divide the US too deeply to heal. There’s so much anger, fear, and mistrust being stirred up; not just between left and right, but between Americans and the institutions meant to protect democracy. Can the US unite again after this regime is over?

Whenever I ask my kids to do something, the response is always the same: “I’ll do it in a minute.” And spoiler alert: that minute never comes. I think they’ve been taking lessons from Trump and his famous “two weeks” promise. Different timelines, same results.

Just 8 men once owned as much wealth as half the world’s population. That came from Oxfam’s 2017 report and still echoes today. Inequality isn’t just real, it’s staggering We have to rethink how our systems work. This isn’t about envy. It’s about fairness, sustainability, and dignity. #inequality

Neil Young lit up Glastonbury with Rockin’ in the Free World — a rebel anthem still burning. Meanwhile, Trump’s return threatens to snuff out the very freedom that song defends. It’s not just nostalgia. It’s a warning. Keep singing. Keep fighting. Stay free. #NeilYoung #Glastonbury

It’s wild that in 2025, people have to march to defend democracy……. from the president. This shouldn’t be normal. This shouldn’t be necessary. But here we are. #NoKingsDay

Ukraine just blew up 41 Russian bombers and now I can’t help but wonder… Did Zelenskyy pull a White House in Yemen move and just text: “About to hit the bombers, keep it chill 😎🇺🇦📱”

Trump says seizing 22M fentanyl pills “saved 258M lives.” U.S. pop: 347M. Fentanyl users: ~1M. So… each pill was gonna kill 12 people? Did he save folks on Mars too? Next up: Trump claims he cured sadness and personally wrestled inflation into a headlock.

My son just asked me to name my top 5 favourite albums of all time — but it’s way too hard! I’ve got Radiohead – The Bends, The Beatles – Abbey Road, and The Black Keys – El Camino locked in, but I’m struggling to narrow down the last two.

Oh no, a blue suit! How dreadfully disrespectful. Good thing he’s always been so chill and never made a big deal about what people wear before. Totally understandable why this is a national crisis now.

I used to ignore all those random calls and messages, assuming they were spam. But now I’m starting to wonder… what if it was Pete Hegseth trying to secretly share classified intel with me the whole time?

Trump should pay for a referendum on Canada becoming the 51st state—just to watch us overwhelmingly say “Sorry, no thanks.” The meltdown after would be priceless.

Seven years ago today, I had a job interview in Canada—and found my new home. It’s been an incredible journey, and I love everything about building a life here. Sad to see what the US wants to do with it.

On Friday, Trump and JD Vance preached about respect. Now Trump’s calling Canada’s PM a governor and the UK “some random country who hasn’t fought a war in 30 years.” These are two of America’s closest allies. If this is respect, what does disrespect look like?

So this is what he thinks will make America great again? I think what happened yesterday was one of the lowest points in U.S. history—the president and his mates bullying the leader of a war-torn country. Disgraceful.
