Feeling moved to say:

I don't follow people back if they:
Have no bio
Look like a bot (ie no posts, no replies, no follows/following/no bio)
Racist
Maga
Semi naked
Trying to sell me something
Promoting crypto
Fund raising (I support a lot of charities, & I choose my own)

“New tax data has allayed fears of a mass non-dom exodus from the UK following Labour’s crackdown on their tax status”
Translation:
“The right wing trope about rich people fleeing the country if you raise taxes, is horseshit. Stop listening to them and start caring more about our public services”

Chat GPT is proving very useful to me in deciding where to site my new Star Jasmine to give it the best chance of surviving the winter as a container specimen in North Yorkshire with our hardiness zone of 7 - 8. Yes, I could spend the afternoon trawling the RHS website, but this is easier.

Another week, another export deal removing trade barriers and opening up new markets for British farmers to sell produce around the world.

This time it's British dairy farmers selling to Egypt and removing an expensive cost due to come in to force soon.

BBC Radio 4's hourly news headlines today have been an unrelenting Two Minutes' Hate against immigrants. The UK's national broadcaster is deliberately fomenting hatred against some of the world's most vulnerable people, while license fee payers pick up the tab.

Cream of vegetable soup with garden herbs, made completely out of leftover veggies in my fridge's salad drawer + handful of lentils & a random selection from my container herb garden. Delish 😋 & cost pennies. Loads left over for freezer.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

The whole country is fucking mad.

Labour are held to an infinitely higher level than anyone else.

People over look massive wrong doing by Tories and Reform.

Labour people do nothing wrong and get attacked.

Get a bloody grip! Grow the fuck up!

This man is beyond stupid if he thinks he can stop science.

The mRNA vaccine research will continue, just not in the USA. Others will reap the benefits including the profits.

The answer is no.

Nigel Farage is using distorted figures and anti immigration think tanks.

Every news outlet needs to qualify his data with a comment that these figures CANNOT be verified.

I can't bear it when 'experts' being interviewed tell us something is "very complicated"

Talk about patronizing.

Some of us are highly intelligent people with a scientific education.

Zionism is not Judaism
Christian Nationalism is not Christianity

The first ones are political & the second ones are religions.

I hope this clears it up.

Personally I’m atheist so I don’t believe in any of them BUT I respect someone’s religion if they aren’t trying to KILL people with it.

If you think FaRage has the answers, you don’t understand the problem. Migrants in boats represent 4% of all migration to UK. You should get some perspective. We need migration. It’s good for our country. Don’t get conned by FaRage.

The headline here should say:

Well, the sky's a bit of a funny colour & it's been raining since the early hours, but it's fairly quiet out there in terms of wind. Maybe the BBC has been overdoing the storm warnings, (not for the first time) although there's time yet. We shall see.

I read a profile of Jenrick in The New Statesman. Turns out he's changed his views from moderate to far-right just because he saw it would improve his chances of acquiring power. The worst kind of opportunist, disingenuous chancer (my autocorrect tried to make that "cancer"maybe I shouldve left it).
