Likes good beer, gin, cheese, wood-fired-pizza and cats. Rarely goes out. Occasionally temperamental. Wears odd socks. Only drinks at weekends and on special occasions. My opinions are my own.

ye gods, the beeb is still really pushing its own shows as news. I haven't seen this many article gifted to anything this pointlessly vacuous since a certain American singer got engaged.

I seriously worry for our future right now...
The problem with having no one competent to vote for, is you end up with terrible PM after terrible PM. Its like groundhog day, but the bad ideas just keep coming and moving forward...

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Sigh. Seems like labour have not learnt from labour past. We don't want digital Ids. We don't want national Ids. All they will do is cause a black market in Ids which will further exploit the people they are trying to find, while preventing citizen objectors from doing anything...
