Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 06/10/2026£10bn will not buy you an “iron dome”. More like a paper colander. Politicians making shit up. The rest of the front page of this comic is amusing, in its own way 13355
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This what the checker says. Not definitive of course. 000
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Jim Ratcliffe, and now this guy, whose name I didn’t know. (Front page of today’s FT). I read this piece and my reaction to it is I’m suprised anyone thinks there’s a future for betting shops, with online gambling. I’d be happy to see both taxed out of existence. 2403
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 02/09/2026It’s an interesting competition, but I’m not sure what I’d do with one. 081
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 13/08/2026From the front page of today’s “Daily Mail”. How to stand the world on its head. They are determined to destroy the planet. 4306
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Yes. Here’s an interesting photo. The roses have not been watered at all this year. They’re doing really well, on their third blooming. The Japanese Anemones, however, look like crisps. 110
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 02/08/2026These people really love stoking hatred and division; and gloating about it. 8240
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 21/07/2026What has Nigel ever done for us? Well there’s the…um And he did that thing What thing? Er… I know. He stopped us worrying what to do with 5 million quid 091
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Insect central. One Lavender bush allowed to grow unclipped can support insects like this all day. Sound on, turned up. 2154
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 13/07/2026From the front page of today’s “Telegraph”. A “report” by Reform UK. They really, really want you to be terrified of Andy Burnham. 84010
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Just counted 7 Peacock butterflies on this lavender. Practically a swarm. 050
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 07/07/2026George has a certain Ronnie vibe going, don’t you think? 4161

Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Treat nature with respect and she rewards you, even in our cooler climate. 210
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 26/06/2026From yesterday’s “Telegraph”. So the paper has a mole close to Burnham, or someone can’t stop blabbing, or they just want to scare off the prospect of a Chancellor who might be radical; or they just want to stoke factionalism in the Labour party. 8127
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Speaking as a man these issues are rather important to me, and many others as well. Who wrote this lazy piece of crap? 2140
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 23/06/2026It was jsut so apposite. The bees love them. They're blow ins. I am still developing the philosophy of the neglected garden, which is looking good at the meoment. But we're in for a dearth after this lot have finished, at least for two or three weeks. 010

Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Real debate welcomed. Simplistic shit like this just gets you blocked. 020
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 08/06/2026From today’s Guardian front page. We can’t be far from “it’ll all be over by Christmas”. 1140
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 23/05/2026As the weather warms up, Mrs P gets an interesting and delicious ancestral vibe going, which is interesting, for an Irish citizen. Buon appetito! 1230
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 17/05/2026As ever Chris is spot on. Things move quickly and it looks as though some of the Labour leadership contenders may be following his advice: 031
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 12/05/2026And this one too, apparently. Miraculously, I seem to be able to understand Portuguese. 010
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 07/05/2026‘Twas just a garden in the rain. (With borrowed landscape) 0111
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 29/04/2026This miniature azalea was a “free gift” from a bulb supplier, years ago. Proves its worth every year. 0120
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 26/04/2026“I say Jeeves, lay out that dashed fine check jacket I got from that catalogue thingy, would you” … “Jeeves?” 3111
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Just for you, Stephen, I opened the catalogue. Here is a picture of him carrying the hat. Best I can do, I’m afraid. PS. There is nothing wrong with the hat. 130
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 26/04/2026I would never wear this piece of clothing. Why do I get sent this catalogue? How can I make it stop? 7180
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 19/04/2026We have a regular visitor. This guy has been hanging around on our doorstep for days. He seems to find looking in through the window fascinating. 490

Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 12/04/2026 There’s a difference between negotiating in good faith and simply demanding capitulation. (Picture from this morning’s BBC website) 34010
Simon Pease @simonpease.bsky.social · 07/04/2026I don't actually think the King would want to shake hands with a man who can say this. So why go? 1194
