I like quirky things, politics (same thing sometimes), roses, some birds, witticisms and dad jokes.
Saw that some ppl here want a bio. Now you know how boring I can be.😜😜
I won’t age verify, so there you go.

(1/2) T he Greens are sadly not supporting progressive policies, it's just populism for the sake of it. So, I'm glad the Greens’ policies and leadership have been getting more scrutiny in recent days...

Farage in 1999:
Farage keeps on switching his story about whether he engaged in racist abuse as a teenager.
What is little known is that in 1999, just before became a public figure he was using vile racist language, as can be seen in the Guardian screenshots below.

While I think most literate people can be insightful and articulate in text form, if given enough time to collect their thoughts, it is a rare talent to be able to do that verbally, in real time, while responding to interruptions, hostile jibes or pointed questions and STILL get your point across.
