I wish these were still in print my children and grandchildren loved them. I'd like to read them to my great grandchildren. #outofprint #Vintage_Treasures #vintagebooks #childhoodmemories #books #childrensbooks

Toxic Town on Netflix makes for compelling TV how much more corruption within governing bodies is there. I couldn't understand why criminal charges were not brought. We can never hope to reduce corruption unless people are brought to justice. @netflix

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

All the dictators stick together because they need each other to stay in power. Exactly like Adolf Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan.

A 2% wealth tax in the UK on people with over £100m (like France) would raise £30bn a year. It's time to tax the rich.

It's amazing some people see multimillionaire Nigel Farage, owned by GB News, owned by Donald Trump, owned by Elon Musk, never worked a real job in his life. A billionaire owned, never a common man. But still they think, he's going to fight for me against the billionaires. 🤣

Public Enquiries cost the tax payer a small fortune… it’s criminal to ignore the recommendations and criminal to use them as a delaying process… I would prefer we get on with tackling the known issues in the way the previous inquiries recommend!!

We have fog but I was amazed this morning to hear the dawn chorus, then a flock of geese flew over making a racket 😂 I presume the fog enhanced the birdsong.

Dalgleish on Channel 5 is a simple pleasure. The ability of the production team to create the biegeness of the mid 1970s is remarkable.

8 days to Christmas in my mini advent calendar! I came upon this woolly gang on Longstone Moor enjoying the pink morning sky and the promise of warmth it might bring. Their bodies left little patches of snow-melt in the field as they stood up one by one to watch the sun rise together. #peakdistrict

I’m old enough to remember Boris Johnson telling businesses Brexit paperwork could go in a bin. Now they need a warehouse to store it in

UK’s economy shrinks 0.1% in October. Result of Labour following Tory policies, eroding people's purchasing power. Real wage cuts Benefit cuts No curbs on profiteering Graduate debts Poor taxed more than the rich Lack of skilled jobs Govt must change policies www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Hi, Bristol (UK) people, seasons greetings. Is anyone looking to rent out their place over Christmas and/or New Year? It's for my sister and her two (biggish) kids who are having a plumbing emergency in Germany. Drop me a message if you have any leads!

They wouldn't hear much from us, apart from which button do we press 😄
