If you liked the web better in the 1990s, the fediverse is the place for you!

‘Embarrassed to be British’ says Brits living in EU - https://www.euractiv.com/section/justice-home-affairs/news/embarrassed-to-be-british-says-brits-living-in-eu/ "surveys consistently suggest that a majority of UK adults believe that leaving the EU has been a failure." #brexitreality

So here's some controversy:-
How the hell did Wales vote for Brexit.
Every major investment in Wales since Thatcher has been from the EU not Westminster.
Is it still a case that tribalism is rife in Wales and that Wales bought the racist lies from Westminster?
Is Wales so insular that we can't fight for independence?
To poor for it,, I say we are to rich for England to let go so they propergate the lies that we fall for so easily.

@EU_Commission I was born #European but this was taken away from me against my will. I wish there was a way to get my personal European status restored. Ultimately I hope I will live to see #Wales #Cymru become an independent, European country. #IndyWales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

As prompted by @Noam Bergman, I’ve been keeping an eye on a #webcam trained on the #nest of a pair of #ospreys in #Scotland. Most of the time, one #bird is sitting on a solitary #egg while the other is out hunting, I suppose. Like most of life, things are a bit dull and all you see is a bird sitting patiently on the nest, incubating its egg.
