I wrote a couple of western novels a few years back. Sadly out of print now. Fervent believer in independence for Scotland. I am spone to proonerisms - er, prone to spoonerisms.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

It’ll always break my heart that we could’ve had an extraordinary President with Kamala Harris and instead we have a disgusting rapist criminal traitor.

Temu sellers dodge millions in tax — by pretending to be UK firms Rogue traders grab details of innocent British small businesses to avoid VAT. Billions of public revenue lost. Tax dodges result in unfair competition, threaten jobs. Make platforms liable for lost VAT. archive.ph/cmiJZ

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

I fully support this NSL4A statement arguing there’s no “just cause” for firing senior military leaders as it impacts our national security by dissuading our best to enlist. www.nsl4a.org/nsl4a-announ...

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

Next year marks 20 years since Alexander Litvinenko was murdered on the orders of Putin. The murder weapon, disguised in a pot of tea, was polonium-210, an undetectable radioactive isotope. These crimes Putin committed. Appeasing or apologising for him is never okay. #AlexanderLitvinenko #Putin

Good piece on the impact Trump is having on the pretence of the UK nuclear deterrent which has never been independent. "What will the ukGov do if a US president decided to turn off its Trident nuclear missiles? Britain is struggling to accept the end of Atlanticism archive.ph/cRBCK#select...

Sometimes I think Elon’s insatiable, toddler-like need for attention is a minor blessing. Without him, Project 2025 would be rolling out a lot more quietly. Most people don’t pay attention to politics, even during an election cycle, but they’re sure paying attention with his nonsense in the media.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.
