Why on earth would they waste their money?

This is something Labour could easily address. But don’t

Jez San was hugely influential in gaming and one of the few outside of Japan to work directly with Nintendo in the early days. Someone to think proudly of in the UK. So for him to now support the Tories is a bit of a kick in the teeth.

Tories, the public system, the Maga elite, fighting back at the clear and present danger Reform is to their corrupt, immoral, classist Party

Probably I'm too busy to post much. I'm playing catch-up most of the time.

We're hosting the Byline Festival in Keele next month, there are all the Pride events and the NRM in October. Plus I just volunteered to help organise a "Love Music, Hate Racism" event

Sounds like you’re doing much more affective stuff than mere posting. Have been enjoying the puzzles you post although am still Lao addicted to finishing a sudoku every morning

kacidama.bsky.social•5 days ago

I do an online puzzle book page every day it has sudoku, a wordle-type game, crosswords & a couple of other Japanese number games.
It's called Puzzle Page.

Huge donations to political parties needs to be stopped-buying power like Elon did for promoting DJT to the Whitehouse?? So much for fair,honest and unbiased politics!

What has always been true is that CONservative politicians have always been on sale as there isn’t a single one with any form of integrity
