Can you post the video here, I won't have tiktok.

dandive.bsky.social•95 days ago

It's great news

marekdrzymalski.bsky.social•96 days ago

With whom will UK ally themselves closer to? Our neighbours across the channel with whom we have a much more tangible connection than people are willing to admit or, the US which will over the next 4 years become more of a pariah on the world stage and with whom we have 1 sided relationship

exrevtony.bsky.social•96 days ago

Sadly, because of the (approximately) shared language, too many Brits already seem to feel part of the US.
Watch any UK quiz show, see how many questions are about US sport, politics or sitcoms.
Or check the relative media coverage of US and European political news.

xukdax.bsky.social•96 days ago

I think that's more because we've put too much focus on US entertainment media, but even that is starting to shift with people moving toward European and Asian media.

nuitsdeyoung.bsky.social•96 days ago

Am European first & foremost. Have never felt more alien than when I visited the US. Not even in Soviet-era Russia & Georgia.

glennbryan.bsky.social•95 days ago

I lived there quite happily for 5 years in the 80s but I doubt I'll ever go there again

wilgog.bsky.social•96 days ago

Could you post it on here so we don't have to download Tictok?

jennyharker.bsky.social•95 days ago

Can younput it on U tube so we can all watch it. Don’t do Tik Tok

jennyharker.bsky.social•96 days ago

Sorry don’t do Tik Tok

midaseye.bsky.social•96 days ago

Following you now on Tic Toc

gammaraze12.bsky.social•96 days ago

Can you not free it from TikTok I don't access it.

pfloppe.bsky.social•96 days ago

Looks like Starmer may (at the longest of long shots) have decided on Europe... a job for you here Mike (or Dominic Grieve/Caroline Lucas)? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjw0xngdj2jo

leedsjohnlufc.bsky.social•95 days ago

We need to stop drifting, and start rowing as fast as possible to Europe!

US has become a failed state, ruined by greed, hate and ignorance, and we need to distance ourselves as quickly as possible!

gostivic.bsky.social•96 days ago

No. Europe and Trump are drifting apart quite quickly. He is not us.

lizzipower.bsky.social•96 days ago

Brought everything together really well there, great insight 👍

davidquackers.bsky.social•96 days ago

Spot on!!!

207michael.bsky.social•96 days ago

We do need to get closer to Europe and Europe needs to start putting an awful lot of distance between them and America. America is so unreliable and cannot be relied upon. The solution is for Europe to actually get in gear and especially the UK to actually get moving

earnscliffe.bsky.social•96 days ago

Is there a way to access this without having to download the tiktok app?

mikegalsworthy.bsky.social•96 days ago

Only if I post on YouTube, which I now realise I probably have to.

earnscliffe.bsky.social•96 days ago

I'm sure I used to be able to see some TikTok content on the web, maybe it requires desktop mode or something

garysling.bsky.social•95 days ago

I used to be able to but also can't view them now. In chrome it directs me to the install TikTok page and in DuckDuckGo browser it tells me it won't open that kind of link.

sjp24.bsky.social•95 days ago

Not sure they were ever as close as some people imagined. At least not in living memory.

prefersdogs.bsky.social•96 days ago

80 years

Have we not learned anything
from history

The UK needs to side with the country who are against facism

xukdax.bsky.social•96 days ago

TBH, I'm pretty happy for the US and Europe to be drifting apart. I'm not interested in their poorly regulated products and services and I'm certainly not interested in being commanded around to defend their international oil interests, so we should just tell them to stuff it.

rickmanchester.bsky.social•96 days ago

Time we told America to sod off

missallot.bsky.social•96 days ago

You know you can embed your tiktok vids into your posts here?

viewsofrob.bsky.social•96 days ago

Having watched Lindsey Graham's latest 'threat', I'm more convinced than ever, a better relationship with Europe is essential. On trade, economics, security, the US will simply rinse us! They're an ally, but one we need to treat with caution, especially given the self harm & isolation we've chosen.

loubinwally.bsky.social•96 days ago

hey, Mike - with that photo, you'd make a great extra for Wolf Hall...! 😆😍

mikegalsworthy.bsky.social•96 days ago

Ah… Mark Rylance lives on my street and stops by occasionally. ❤️

annepa.bsky.social•96 days ago

Can we see the video without Tiktok please?

nordaltsee.bsky.social•96 days ago

Just post video here... 🤔
Many of us can't see it...

mikegalsworthy.bsky.social•96 days ago

Can’t post videos over 60 secs here.

Maybe I need to upload to YouTube.

annepa.bsky.social•95 days ago

Yup, then post the link.

nordaltsee.bsky.social•96 days ago

Aahhh I see....

drdarkmatter.bsky.social•96 days ago

Bowie sang I am afraid of Americans

drdarkmatter.bsky.social•96 days ago

I can live without America, I want to.

pascalr57.bsky.social•96 days ago

And the UK sings stuck in the middle with you.

evies13.bsky.social•96 days ago

Do you have a transcript?
I just don't want to download TikTok. Thanks.

brian-damage.bsky.social•95 days ago

Please Mike, no TikToks. I have not and will not be installing that app.

mikegalsworthy.bsky.social•96 days ago

Yeah - not my best picture… but the content is solid, I’d like to think.

timauger.bsky.social•96 days ago

You look like a baffled Stuart monarch …

mikegalsworthy.bsky.social•96 days ago

🤣🤣 - that’s VERY specific!

catie5862.bsky.social•96 days ago

As it always is !

vigjimmy.bsky.social•96 days ago

Til tok on helium?

ladycharliesays.bsky.social•95 days ago

swissmrs3.bsky.social•96 days ago

It’s hard not to think Americans have all lost their minds. Maybe they have fewer cult leaders in Europe.

stuartshrugged.bsky.social•95 days ago

As ever, the U.K. should be the broker between the two.

davidjwbailey.bsky.social•96 days ago

This is being done TO us and not BY us

gregstewart.bsky.social•96 days ago

Does it have to be TikTok, Mike?

mikegalsworthy.bsky.social•96 days ago

It’s imperative!

lizzyloo2.bsky.social•96 days ago

I think countries within Europe are drifting away from each other too. Russia has done a great job. 😥😥😥😥

jaz73.bsky.social•96 days ago

I won't go back to tiktok. I had found a fake account that had used my face and my name. All they ever said was nothing had been done wrong.
Impersonation is not an issue with that company

chicchick.bsky.social•96 days ago

I see some Republican chappie threatening the U.K. and the rest of Europe that there will hell to pay when Trump takes office, that is not a government they make the Mafia seem like novices.

baratheongirl.bsky.social•96 days ago

Ooo didn't know you were on there. I'll go find to follow.

dilee.bsky.social•96 days ago

So relieved we have a change of government or things could/would have been very different
