Just another number in the great herd of independent minds. Travel, History, Astronomy, Mountains and other distractions. I also survived being a constituent of Boris, 2015-2023, so everything afterwards is a bonus.

Imagine how little self respect it must take to wake up, have breakfast and then go out and write bollocks like this for the Telegraph for a living.

It is so obvious that he’s got no meaningful healthy relationships - he takes hours out of his day to type out this shite on social media, because it gets him attention. And he’s got the codes as the ultimate attention getting device. Perhaps this shite is somehow saving us from worse outcomes.

NASA Artemis 2 livestream is on the TV and I’m cracking open some whiskies from long ago travels and moments to celebrate positivity, diversity and science with humanity, for one evening in which we can briefly ignore the ignorance and stupidity of today - and appreciate the wonders we can achieve.

The narrow boat community of the Grand Union Canal stand with the people of Greenland in their efforts to maintain their rights of self determination, in the face of Tump’s imperialist threats.

Taking a few days out of the London rat race. Visiting Feshiebridge and the evocative, abandoned Frank Bruce sculpture trail, which is returning to nature as he intended.

I was today years old when I realised that Gil Scott-Heron was the voiceover at the end of the Orange man Tango adverts of the late 1990s. The revolution won’t be televised but fizzy drinks will be.

That is outrageous and criminal. Moreover, to quote my favourite diplomat: "It is worse than a crime, it's a mistake" It’s just lost them a massive shrunk of their natural support to the Greens and lib dems, me included.

I love the creativity of linkedin trolls. The unsubtle ones ‘I stopped eating and my sprint velocity went 10x’ are okay but to make a post like this is craft of master carpenter level. Linkedin pisstakers give me hope. Perhaps the whole conceited hellsite will collapse If these heroes keep posting.

Ryder cup tought. The president of the USA CHEATS at Golf. We all know it, his lackeys enable it. Can we have a president with the moral character to not have to CHEAT at golf to have a sense of self worth?

What are people wanting to say when they put up a flag? They mean, this marks my territory. They’re saying, this is *our* England, *our* vision rules the roost here. They want their version of society to be imposed where the flags fly. It’s literally, taking ownership of the body politic.

Good evening. Abolish assylum system types. Did you have a good day? You don’t speak for me - and you never will. You failed today. The diverse and wonderful group of friends I love agree, your views are ignorant and venal, they deserve contempt, your attempt to co-opt a flag won’t succeed.

He’s such an obvious one trick pony. Yet, the media just let him get away with it, for fear of losing access. Meantime who knows what other madness is happening.

Trump’s grudge against offshore wind energy comes from an offshore farm development near one of his wretched golf courses in Scotland. His golf course irreversibly damaged sensitive wildlife habitat. There are many perverted opinions in Trump but the offshore wind energy thing is the most petty.

Breaking rules. Not acting responsibly. Experiences a consequence, yet gets away with it. Treats it as a laugh. This is so on brand for Eton Toff Boy that it has to be staged, perhaps part one of a calculated attempt to get Kemi’s Job. Can he just Fuck Off And Never Come Back please.

You would think that attending therapy to deal with various childhood traumas of not being liked in the playground would be less work - and cheaper - than trying to turn American democracy into your own warped vision of the world, but I guess right wingnuts don’t do introspection.

Dear Elon, maybe if you didn’t do Nazi salutes or didn’t gloat when slashing aid to the poorest people on the planet, them we might like you a bit more. Even better, try not slashing aid budgets in the first place. Your new besties might be upset by that however. Tough call I guess for a sociopath.
