The Hannan article is well worth a read. It reminds you of a) how delusional it was and b) how well it was hoovered up by so many. (Totally avoids the UKs ageing population) The gulf between dream and reality. And in 4 years we can thank Hannan et al for getting Reform/Farage in to power too...

Asking for a friend, etc

Ah that'll be why I disabled CoPilot shite. So they can't squeeze my lemon. It's all about profit peeps. #AI #sucks www.theregister.com/2025/06/20/g...

By the time you’ve reached your forties you will have lived to see the newspapers that insisted that the country you grew up in was on the verge of social collapse portray those very same years of your youth as a period of blissful social cohesion.

Funny how Trump doesn’t care about the evil regime causing these deaths.

This.

Oh god. It's far too early.

If you're struggling to have faith in humanity today, here's 2 facts: ☀️ In June solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear - it's now the world’s 4th largest power source 🔋 Ireland is the latest coal-free country around and there are 15 in Europe. Progress is slow but possible 💫

Starmer says Iran must return to the negotiating table but unfortunately last week Israel murdered Iran’s chief negotiator who was already at the negotiating table.

As an ex seafarer who was in The Gulf when the shells started flying (got Lloyds war zone bonus too), I just love the blasé way they talk about damage to ships. They were crewed by ordinary people with no means of defence. A shell is still fucking lethal no matter what ship you are on.

I’m now ahead of Trump in the betting for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize.

Chortle. Probably used Feckbook Messenger instead 🤦‍♂️ Or Terriblegram.

Now might a good time to get to know Iran's armed separatist movements. arthursnell.substack.com/p/time-to-le...

Damn. Can't get hold of the excellent poddy by @snellarthur.bsky.social called "Why can't the West win its wars anymore" Summed up why Trumps action will ultimately be failure on a long term scale.
