Been around the block, retired from education, sort of, not retired from life. Now got time for watercolour painting, riding my bike, and playing blues, though not all at the same time.
Been glory hunting with Liverpool since Shankly’s days

Matt Goodwin says this is "a chance for the hardworking, law-abiding, tax-paying people," such as his boss, Nigel Farage, who doesn't do his job in parliament, lied about why he avoided constituency work, admitted to breaking 17 laws last week alone, and still faces questions about tax avoidance.

Roughly 1% of the population go to Oxford or Cambridge for university.
But those in Britain's top jobs are 21x more likely to have attended Oxbridge than the wider population.
Oxbridge attendance is highest among senior judges, permanent secretaries, and in the shadow cabinet.

Remember when the Tories pledged to spend £1.6bn on an ICE-style ‘removals force’ deporting 750,000?
A few weeks prior, Farage said he would deport 600,000.
Trump’s ICE has murdered 2 Americans in Minneapolis, Minnesota already this year — the state of former VP candidate Gov. Tim Walz.

Anne Frank wrote these words in 1943 while hiding, while families were being pulled apart. She wasn’t describing chaos. She was describing process. Normalized cruelty. Systems doing what systems do when nobody stops them.

Donald Trump again disparages Nato allies, claiming troops “stayed a little back, a little off the frontlines” while fighting in Afghanistan in support of US against Taliban.
Only time Nato has ever invoked article 5 – that attack on one member represents attack on all – came after September 11.

I see Americans are comparing ICE to the gestapo. If you want accuracy, they are more akin to the brown shirts. Thugs who went round in trucks terrorising neighbourhoods, assaulting and killing people. The gestapo came about later. They were much worse.
