Wonderful Christmas break delivering books to refugee schools on the Burmese border. Lovely kids, dreadful poverty.

I do like Don Warrington.

I wonder what the real outcome of the fall of Syria will be? These things haven't worked out well in Afghan, Egypt, Libya and a few other Arab spring states. I hope that we aren't going to be treated to mass executions and gay people being thrown off buildings. Glass half full, right?

Sitting in my office in Bangkok. It i the last week before the Christmas break and winter has set in with temperatures around 20 degrees in the morning and about 30 in the PM. Definitely my favourite time of the year.

It will be interesting to see what sort of government take over in Syria now. Assad going is great but we need to see what comes next.

Hmmm. I seem to be being assailed by titties and crypto people. Thank God that Charlize Theron and Taylor Swift followed me!

Interesting that the people who were protesting were arrested and not those who scam millions from the needy. Thank goodness for the #NHS @keepournhspublic.bsky.social www.bbc.com/news/article...

So interesting following what is going on with the death of the healthcare CEO in NY. Obviously anyone being murdered is horrific, especially for those left behind. However, some of the posts show that not a lot of tears are being shed nor sympathy shown. Thank goodness for the NHS!

Tim Shipmans books about Brexit and how it fucked the people, the economy and life in Britain are a real eye opener. The fact that the Tory party was happier looking after itself than the interests of the country is very sad. The only good point is what they did led to where they are today #brexit

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

Should have posted this last month but you get the point, right?

We live and work in Bangkok, however, this is a sunset from our hotel balcony a while ago when we took our daughters to the beach..have a wonderful dy.

How about this for a headline from a leading UK newspaper? "Poor countries exploit climate panic to press us for easy cash" Disgusting, eh?

RIP John Prescott one of the last of the old Labour people.

Watching The Donald build his cabinet is like watching an old film. A convict, who openly admits assaulting women choses someone under investigation as his head of the judiciary, a wrestling exec for education and a vaccine denier as his health sec. Has anyone else seen the Manchurian candidate?

Reading of another vulnerable student suicide at Oxford. I do worry about these bright kids who have never been second and suddenly find themselves not at the top of the class, not a lot of help except rustication @universityofoxford.bsky.social only tend to do stiff upper lip stuff.
