Detest tories. Subscribe to green, leftish radical politics but not to any particular political party!.
Love the EU and all it stands for, moreover, I spent the last 10 years of my career working at an EU agency.
Enthusiastic photographer, especially wildlife and most especially butterflies.
Slightly knowledgeable gardener.
Atheist; loathe almost all religions and pity the people deluded enough to follow them. I make exceptions for Buddhism as it isn't really a religion in the strictest sense of the word as it doesn't postulate the existence of any god, and Jainism which is the epitome of peace.
For anyone who is interested, my header photo is of the most stupendous sunset I have ever seen. On the right is the waterfront of Vientiane, the capital of Laos, on the left is Thailand and in the middle, acting as the border between the two countries is the mighty Mekong river.

I like following people who oppose NHS privatisation. If that’s you, could you pls share this post and follow me, and I’ll follow you back? Trying to find ‘my people’ 🤣💙

Can we all agree on something?
If you're a politician getting paid over £84,000 plus expenses, for mainly office work...
You don't get to tell nurses on less than £30,000 that they're being paid enough for 12-hour shifts keeping people alive.

I see Facebook is falling about all over the place this morning. Can't post, can't see any images, can't see any notifications!

Please boost if you want Labour, LibDems and Greens to cooperate at the next election in order to oust the Tories and introduce PR so that we never again have to endure a Tory Government with an eighty seat majority, secured with only 43% of the popular vote.

Jeremy Clarkson
https://www.itv.com/news/2022-12-21/jeremy-clarkson-to-remain-who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-host-for-the-moment For those that don't know this male presenter has been responsible for spewing vile hate in a national newspaper ( if you can call it that) against Meghan Market. He has history of similar. He suggested that striking teachers should be taken outside and shot in the past on national TV and also beat a production assistant when he didn't comply to his diva-demands. Time to give him the proverbial boot from public life. Vile person.

A truly magical day! I have found out. How to turn off the profanity filter In Microsoft Word 365.
For those who are unaware of the problem, if you try to dictate. “fucking”, “cunt” or a wide variety of other words that are sometimes regarded as profane, Microsoft Word 365 replaces them with a row of asterisks, whether you like it or not.
I have also discovered that the Microsoft Word 365 auto-punctuation system is utterly fucking useless. It contrives to put the wrong punctuation where you wouldn't put it anyway if you had a brain and capitalise things right, left and centre where they shouldn't be; in all a complete fucking abortion!

@Brexitpirates
The Tories' sense of right-and-wrong is so far off the scale in the wrong direction you begin to wander if they're all on drugs. In their heads, do they believe they're being principled and strong? Why now? They've shown not a jot of integrity or decency before this.
Basically, they're an incompetent and callous ship of corrupt narcissists.
Even the likes of the Express are siding with the nurses....

If you're argument against nurses going on strike is "but patient safety" then you have misunderstood what the strike is about.
