Military on the streets and forcing allies into camps. But no, Trumps not a fascist 🙄

When we talk about "Soft" power. This is it. This is what we lose. We lose a voice.

🔥 Well said these MPs. This government now appears to be deliberately misleading the house on their position on Israel & Gaza. Everyone write to your MPs and ask where their voice is.

By taking public ownership off the table from the start, the government’s "largest review of the water sector since privatisation" is just moving deck chairs on the Titanic. Privatisation is not a problem - it is THE problem. Sign my letter to Sir Jon Cunliffe: actionnetwork.org/petitions/si...

Burning it all down.

The genocide in Gaza and its complete disregard or support by almost everyone in power and the Media just proves that there is no soul in the West, it is just money, money, money, power, power, power and they will do anything for it. The curtain is completely open.

A sobering watch...

The worse the economic news gets, the more and more foolish it is that Labour still maintain their bright red lines on Brexit. Undoing Brexit is the ONLY potential way to generate a strong economic boost. Random thin trade deals won't do it. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

We climbed Pen Y Fan today, and are pretty damn proud of ourselves. We also bumped into #PenYFanDan, he was on his second trip up of the day, as part of his charity attempt to summit 365 times in a year, to raise awareness for Bowel Cancer! Awesome bloke! www.justgiving.com/page/chris-d...

The wife bought me a "Pinta" home brew kit for Christmas. Finally got round to brewing it, conditioning in the fridge now. Ready for tapping tomorrow .

A greedy woodpecker, haven't seen one of them in a while. Then a cameo from a frequent visitor. 😁

Happy new year everyone. Onwards and upwards 👍

Merry Christmas everyone. And if you wait for a few days, I'll probably wish you all a happy new year. Predictable, but on point.

It’s the time of year for mentioning one of my favourite ‘untranslatables’. ‘Poronkusema’, in Finnish, once denoted a distance of around 7.5km, which is roughly how long a reindeer can last before needing to urinate. ‘Poronkusema’ means ‘reindeer pee’.

Morning. ☕️

Goodnight

Training up the young one. 4 down, 4 to go. #GCHQChrismasChallenge

Me: Dr. Salk your vaccine will save so many children! Salk: Well thank God Me: Of course they will grow up Salk: Well I hope so Me: And get old Salk: I guess? Me: And eventually vote for lunatics who will try to stop your vaccine Salk: what now Me: And leave NATO Salk: shit

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated. We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

Once you realize that most people just repeat the lies they hear on the TV and Radio, word for word, you realize how dangerous it is to let the billionaires control the Media.

I've been working through the Beer52 advent calendar with my dad and brothers. It's been ok, couple of good ones. Better than expected. However, tomorrow me and my mate Phil start this one. Hand picked by Dave at Craft Republic...... Really fucking excited for this!

Sterling close to its highest value against the Euro since the Brexit referendum. Markets appear to be rewarding the prospect of long term British political stability. Not something you’ve been able to say for a while.

Just walked past my daughter's playroom What the fuck? Is it now a gay nightclub !?!

Another disastrous statistic attributed to Boris Johnson and he wonders why no one wants to buy his book.

"analysis of Thames Water’s accounts shows that there has never been a year since privatisation when shareholders contributed more cash than they took out."

This country needs to pull its finger out on many fronts.

It is darkly fascinating to see that two things we are surprisingly ambivalent about is climate change and fascism

So, we've lost 2 fences, a tree, a garden arch, a climbing jasmine and miscellaneous bits of conservatory and guttering. Nothing serious, but a bit of a mess to sort out. Hope everyone's ok out there.

How to be helpful and ruin Christmas in one go. Identify that two people in the same house have made two completely separate purchases, so join them together in a single delivery

When you watch those nativity performances this Christmas, remember that kids are suffering on that same land right now. Wish them peace and safety.

Left: The Conservative government spent £715 million sending not one single asylum seeker to Rwanda Right: Kwasi Kwarteng explained that Rishi Sunak knew he couldn't deliver it, but he didn't cancel it because "there would have been such a loss of face"

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.

Massive away win for the little fella.

Day 1 of the @beer52.bsky.social advent calendar Is a Neverending Haze IPA from Stone Brewing (and free glass) In the fridge and chilling for later.

Post a pic you took to add some calm to the timeline.

Gideon Levy is clear - the Israeli govt will never accept any ceasefire deal that requires Israeli forces to withdraw from the Gaza strip.
