Good morning world. Having engaged with many interesting people on X since 2015 it is time to broaden the horizon with Bluesky.
We have lost some wonderful artists this year and not many left us with memories as vivid as this.

Whoever teaches modern footballers how to tackle is failing in their duty as their contact has more in common with Rugby than the beautiful game.

The film “It’s a wonderful life” is a yearly reminder that a generous principle can overcome a greedy narrow view of humanity. Even renting it this year seems money well spent as we consider how we can emulate our hero George Bailey.

If the Epstein files confirm guilt by association then every selfie with a celebrity could be pawed over for illegal intent Maybe everyone should calm down until we witness images that confirm law breaking. So far the young ladies appear to be enjoying the company of the rich & famous

Good to see a man of principle and integrity win awards last night. Some sporting personalities add value to a wider audience and Rory Mcilroy fits that category perfectly.

During my lifetime I have witnessed the virtues of maleness trashed by a society where chivalry, gentlemanly conduct and confidence is scoffed at in the name of equality.
Is it any wonder therefore that some boys have lost their confidence and identity and seek role models from some shady sources.

Exactly when did we decide that the gains of the enlightenment were ending.
Ben Elton is right when he refers to post truth, the political con merchants and where scientific facts like gender have been high jacked by a narrow laissez- faire.

Predictably EU politicians have woken up to the reality that confronts the automobile industry. In denial in recent years concerning their unrealistic targets, they may just have saved a vital industry and their reputation.

The BBC treated us to Nigellissima Christmas yesterday. Very few seasonal repeats contain the quality of presentation, photography and music as contained in this fine production.
St Marks square with a Puccini musical accompaniment is a work of art indeed @nigella.bsky.social

An open borders policy is an idealistic dream that does not take into account the dangers of mingling cultures that have very little in common.
Assimilation can only succeed when the migrant is prepared to uphold the values and laws of the host state.

The word batter is still difficult for cricket fans of my age to accept and use. The word batsman rolled off the tongue, with memories of Arlott, Benaud and Johnson using the description without the wearisome consideration of gender anywhere near the commentary box.

14 years to learn the art of government and the @teamlabouruk.bsky.social decides to impose Starmer, Lammy & Reeves on a trusting public.
All 3 should be given their P45 and confined to this unsavoury chapter in the history of a once proud party
No vision, no direction and no principles.

It is now obvious that the Western world value of liberal open doors and a low indigenous birth rate will eventually result in considerable change to the local cultural makeup.
Societal norms like law, religion and politics are already the subject of major change and will only be extended in time.

A Labour government that once rejoiced in the lies and discomfort of a Tory government has now decided to replicate this behaviour.
When manifesto promises are casually broken and policies announced lacking detail, the electoral defeat writing is on the wall.
