An apology from me to ALT text users.
I usually add descriptions which include humour to pics I upload, but I got some basics wrong:
It should NOT include:
"picture of"
"image of"
Screen readers announce an image as an image. “Image of a cat” would be read aloud as “image, Image of a cat”.

The tasty looking bits of my top suggest toxic trait guilt here too.
My toxic trait is needing to eat the flavor dust and chip crumbs out of the bottom of the bag, even if I know I'll make a mess in the process.

Having spent the last few days back in Ukraine — reminded how this amazing resilient culture just grows stronger with every atrocity committed against it—it’s so obvious JD Vance’s peace plan ventures are all about saving Putin’s face

It is long past time for the pain caused and the damage done to be rectified.
The UK has been weakened to critical points of fragility by self-appointed leaders who wilfully saw it harm for their personal gain. After 10+ years of harm, a robust Britain seems unrealistic.
But it can be.

As co-convener of Vote Leave, Michael Gove occupied a position of legal responsibility. The unlawful spending & campaign coordination happened on his watch. The denials - proven to be false - ditto. Vote Leave, ultimately, accepted the finding & paid the fine.
There were no other consequences.

Over the past decade, the UK was weakened so much that government became beholden to its enemies. Not just government, but its media, private industry, structures and systems were captured. Britain is now so weak, it could be easily taken over by an arthritic weasel.

Those who have wilfully enabled the most damage and harm done to the UK still take and receive potions of power, authority and honour, when their power, authority and honour should be completely removed while they are investigated for their part in 10+ years of UK democratic capture by its enemies.
I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.
Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

UK democracy captured
It is a fundamental responsibility of a democratically elected government to protect its citizens and its democracy. That a string of UK governments consistently chose not to, demonstrates it is beholden to enemies. Russia is one, others include known private entities.

Government could launch an inquiry into Russian interference tomorrow. They’re choosing not to.

The similarities between Putin action on Mariupol and Netanyahu action on Gaza are stark. Destroy everything with missiles and military explosives, remove unwanteds, turn it all into a building site, and sell new property for profit. -- Greed.

Nine out of 10 residential buildings in Mariupol were damaged or destroyed during Russia’s invasion. Now, the apartment blocks are being rebuilt – and offered for sale to Russians with low-interest mortgages. youtube.com/shorts/yxsIV...
