What can I say? Retired engineer. Interests involve current preservation of a WW2 boat, alternative energy, classical and folk music, campervaning, opponent of so called smart motorways in the UK and the Assisted Dying bill also in the UK. Politics as well

I would simply say respect has to be earned Trump and Vance. You two DON'T deserve it. You can't MAKE Zelensky or anyone else respect you. #nostatevisit

Can everyone post #nostatevisit

Ive been saying this for a long time. Trump is nothing more than a dodgy used car salesman!

#Krasnov

Does anyone in their right mind in the UK still drive or buy Tesla cars? Owned by Elon Musk of course. #SlavaUkraini

Did I just hear #trump say that in response to not inviting #Ukraine to peace talks, "Ukraine has had 3 years to make peace". For God's sake man, their peaceful sovereign country was INVADED by Putin!! #SlavaUkraini

Assisted dying bill has lost Commons majority now high court signoff abandoned, says MP – UK politics live

@ollyglover.bsky.social Please vote down the Assisted Dying bill. You must see that it is falling apart at the seams now. It us wrong in every way, shape and form and should never have been bought before the House. I am a constituent of yours.

It looks like the Assisted Dying bill is coming apart at the edges now. Good thing to if you ask me. Under it our very good friend Betty, bed ridden after a stroke would have gone for it when at her lowest. Now thriving with lots of friends visiting her. #notoassisteddying

Zopiclone. A much prescribed sleeping pill, that according to the explanatory leaflet should on no account be used for more than 8 weeks. I believe many many have had them prescribed for years by GPs. With disastrous results if taken with other prescribed drugs. Instance Tom Kingston. #zopiclone

@ollyglover.bsky.social Welcome to the bright side Olly!

DEI programs and people with disabilities did not cause the midair collision in DC. Trump gutting the FAA did that. But the DEI program Trump is trying to blame was started in 2019 — by Trump.

Elon Musk pushed out the FAA chief — who resigned 1 year into a 5 year term, last week. Why? Because last year the FAA fined SpaceX $600,000 — for safety violations. Now the FAA has no chief — and we just had the first commercial airline crash in 16 years.

"I sit and watch as tears go by"... Will only mean something to boomers like me. Sorry to hear of the death of the lovely Marianne Faithful

Are we supposed to be impressed that American engineers have come up with a supersonic airliner XB-1 ? They do know that British and French engineers came up with the same thing over 50 years ago, don't they? #XB1 #Concorde

Utter madness to expand Heathrow! There is absolutely NO argument for itand plenty against! #notoheathrow

Now that is good comedy! P.O.V just now on #BBCradio4 More please! Less of The Naked Week. Which was rubbish.

Notice how the ALPHA male didnt have the balls to confront Bishop BUDDE to her face but like the coward he is got his revenge hiding behind a screen on Truth social. MAN BABY IN CHARGE

This clip says so much. The bunch that that are now running the USA hearing home truths from a bishop. #trumpunfitforoffice

What an incredibly ungracious speech by Trump #inauguration

Honestly. What actual good is Tiktok ? Other than feeding China with bucket loads of data on the comings and goings of the "free" world. Also an all time consuming hook for very young children. Good riddance to it! #byebyetiktok

Anyone else outraged that the government have opposed the private member bill by the Cheltenham MP to compel new build houses to have solar panels? It's a no brainer win, win measure that I have been advocating for over decade! #solarpower

My good friend and neighbour committed suicide just before Christmas. His Farewell letter was peppered with humour and he finished by saying "don't feel sorry for me, at least I won't have to live through the Trump era". It says everything.

My definition of retirement: Asking my wife what day of the week it is! 🙃

#muskunhinged That is all!

Jimmy Carter was everything the next president is not! I just hope Trump was digesting what the various speakers were saying at Jimmy Carter's funeral

"Imagine" at the funeral of the devout Christian former president Jimmy Carter. Really? Who on earth sneaked that in? #JimmyCarterfuneral

If Amazon are paying Melania Trump some $40m for a documentary on her, you know what do. Stop using Amazon. That means those books etc that are all so easy and quick to get from Amazon. Buy independent. #boycottAmazon

Good old Marsh family (who kept us going in the UK during covid) hit the spot again. Putting Musk back in his box! Thank you, incredibly talented Marsh family. x.com/MarshSongs/s...

I wonder what inane messages we will get from the world's richest man on his network today? #muskismad

#r4today with sport bleeding out of it's half past the hour box again! The vast majority of us out here have next to no interest in sport!

Trump, Musk, Farage, Tate . Rearrange into a we'll known phrase or saying. Hell handcart in to a going is world the

Anybody more than a bit worried that the richest man in the world, about to be in government is sound more and more mentally unstable? The fact that he is a serial drug abuser may not be a coincidence. #elonmuskunwell

#r4today darts and more darts

When BBC Radio get it right, they get it very right. The Shipping Forecast day to kick off the New Year is simply sublime. Well done @bbcradio4.bsky.social #shippingforecast

Two former USA presidents. One about to be president, the other just died. You've seen all the plaudits for the dead one. Compare and contrast with the other one. I don't need to say anymore. Make up your own mind.

This former president Jimmy Carter who has just died at the grand old age of 100. Who is being universally celebrated for his character and sense of duty to his people and indeed the world. Ask yourself what religion was he devoted to and indeed championed while in office and throughout his life?

What a contrast over many decades. A dutiful, decent, Christian, humble, generous, not money driven former president of the USA, now dead vs a money grubbing, arrogant, morally bankrupt, car salesman type former president to be. #r4today

Dear #r4today Ipads are one type of tablet of a certain American company with the name of a fruit. You journalists and politicians always refer to them rather than the generic name "tablet". Other manufactures are available! Stop giving the company concerned free publicity

Why has #BBCnews not even mentioned that the excellent former president Jimmy Carter, who has just died, was a deeply committed Christian. He brought those values into the White House.

Jimmy Carter has died at 100. In my book a dutiful and humble president of the USA. He just happened to be a life long Christian. #JimmyCarterRIP

Can't believe that "Gavin and Stacey" drew more viewers than the truly excellent "Vengeance Most Fowl" Wallace and Gromit. I give up! A reflection of the intelligence, or lack of it, of our nation?

Facts to ponder on the day after. Most of your Christmas decorations and tat were manufactured in China!

@_ValiantPanda_: Where do Christmas decorations come from? China🇨🇳 accounts for 83% of the global exports of Christmas festivity articles. #FactsMatter https://t.co/I7267fmwdP
