Cyber security - the solutions that should be put in place are simple. The action of convincing people it’s a necessity is the difficult part.
“MFA is an inconvenience” - if it’s not in place and we become a victim of a cyber attack, that’s the inconvenience.

X hasn’t been a thing for me for ages, but Threads has started being a political, horribly unpleasant place. Here will do.

More hilarity as people blame Richard Branson for Virgin TV not working. 😆
Richard Branson does not and never has owned Virgin Media. Please keep ‘em coming!!

Paul Sharpe @pauldsharpe.bsky.social · Aug 15

“I'm going to jump on social media and complain that Virgin Media are ‘robbing bastards’, provide a ‘rubbish service’, and announce to the world that ‘I’m moving provider’, then tomorrow, when it's all fixed… I'm going to do nothing”
And so begins the great circle of complaint. 😆

I'm glad a search on the socials shows I'm not the only one with Virgin TV issues. Every channel is pixelated. I'm sure they'll sort it out soon.
Now’s a good time to lurk on the internet and laugh at the die-hard complaining keyboard warriors 😆

It's been a rollercoaster of a month or so - work, family, home. I'm absolutely ready for some time off.
I'd also like to say I'm incredibly proud of my son. He's been through quite a journey culminating in top surgery a couple of weeks ago. The boy is happy; the dad is proud as hell.

I have made the intention of my post clear (and, unfortunately, had to explain), and I have neither the time nor the patience to entertain everyone’s interpretation of what I said. It was a reaction. That’s all.

Paul Sharpe @pauldsharpe.bsky.social · Apr 23

My comment was a reaction to Keir Starmer’s recent statement. It was an indication of my disappointment in his actions. I’m not about to run out and pledge support to Reform UK or the Conservatives. They don’t even get a look in as far as I’m concerned.

Paul Sharpe @pauldsharpe.bsky.social · Apr 23

Please don’t place me in those camps.

… Your recent comments have made me completely regret my vote. I feel I’m partially responsible for damaging the community in the way you have, and I am sorry for that. You’ve let the LGBTQ+ community down, and they will never forgive you for that.

Paul Sharpe @pauldsharpe.bsky.social · Apr 23

Dear Mr Starmer,
I never usually vote in elections; however, at the last election, I voted for Labour as “the best of a bad bunch” to help remove the Tories and because of your relatively positive views on the LGBTQ+ community…

Paul Sharpe @pauldsharpe.bsky.social · Apr 22

My trust in the current government when it come to LGBTQ+ issues is gradually declining. With the Supreme Court’s recent ruling and Starmer’s stance on trans people revealed today, I have little hope.

Paul Sharpe @pauldsharpe.bsky.social · Apr 20

So many things have angered me in the last week or so: the Supreme Court’s ruling about the legality of the word “woman” and Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s speech on autism. You couldn’t write this utter rubbish.

Paul Sharpe @pauldsharpe.bsky.social · Mar 31

Dear World Leaders,

What have you done to this planet and why do you keep doing it?? Just leave us normal people to get on with life, will you?

So, not only is this Signal group chat leak an embarrassment for American national security, it’s also an embarrassment that the US government thinks it’s ok 🤦‍♂️

Good afternoon, Bluesky.

Sitting down for lunch and wondered what story would amuse me from today’s quote. I won’t like, but this Andrew Tate quote made me laugh out loud. What a buffoon.

I hope someone is writing an epic sitcom about governments right now. You are being presented with the material for global success daily.

Paul Sharpe @pauldsharpe.bsky.social · Mar 12

It may be a little dramatic, a little overreactive. However, the USA is starting to look a little like North Korea.

Remind me again how we in the UK are supposed to welcome him on a state visit? Rulez is rulez. Stay away, Mr Trump.

And no matter how you’ve chosen to justify your allegiance to him, ultimately you made your decision, and quite frankly, I have lost the respect for and the affinity I had with you.

There is a divide between us now that will never be completely removed.

Trump’s state visit. Convicted felon. Is he allowed to come, anyway?

Paul Sharpe @pauldsharpe.bsky.social · Mar 1

I see all the comments regarding the Trump/Zelensky meeting favouring the Ukrainian president.
Of course, Trump will still claim “everyone agrees with me”.

Paul Sharpe @pauldsharpe.bsky.social · Feb 20

Can someone give Donald Trump a slap, please?
