#fiveyearson My last day in my old office was Friday 13 March 2020, we were going to 'trial' homeworking on the Monday and Tuesday, never went back to work there. We were relocating so I popped in one day to empty my locker and cupboard and that was it, building has now been demolished.

If you think, as I do, that GB News' open hostility to the LGBT+ community and Black and Brown people tacitly encourages violence we've made it very easy for you to tell Sky, one of its biggest advertisers, to stop funding hate. Please use and share. action.goodlawproject.org/sky-stop-fun...

Still reading this one, full of interesting details but also loving the occasional bitchy comments, e.g. Wavell being an intellectual 'by the standards of the British Army' 😯 #histbookchat #photofriday

We haven't even had antibiotics for 90yrs but we've still managed to put at risk the amazing benefits of them. Sometimes wonder whether humans deserve to survive (cheerful new year thought)

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

www.theguardian.com/money/2025/j... Unsurprising, we had shockingly bad customer service from British Gas in 2023, managed to escape about a year ago after taking complaints to Ombudsman. 0/5 ⭐, would not recommend.
