So Trump wants to annex Canada. Think my Auntie Nellie in Deux Montagnes Quebec might have an opinion on that. I spend too much time wondering whether the frightening nonsense he spouts is for real or just building a tough guy image. Either way is concerning.😳

It seems that many of the perpetrators of the appalling sexual abuse of young girls across the U.K. were Pakistani. But why call them Muslims? Are all white British criminals Christians? Shame on Musk for using children as weapons in his twisted attacks on British politicians.

In Spain noise means happiness so any fiesta involves fireworks. My dog got so scared , he jumped around and broke a vase. I yelled at him , now we’re both upset. I hate Christmas. Thankfully Spaniards don’t prolong it. Back to normal tomorrow 👏

It’s like the events and interactions that led to WW2 are being played out again with more deadly weapons. Steve Pinker rethink your view on ‘human progress’.

So now Musk is meddling in Germán domestic politics praising AfD the most right wing Party since Hitler. Does he want to be World Leader? Money and political power…I’m scared😡

Maybe Prince Andrew should spend Christmas and New Years Eve in the Tower of London. It would save the Royal household much embarrassment as no investigative journalist or lurking paparazzi could get to him there.

Now that the vile Assad regime has fallen, what will happen to the thousands of ISIS men women and children in squalid camps among them Shamina Begum. Maybe it’s time this woman who left to join ISIS aged 15 should be be back and tried for her alleged crimes in a U.K. court?

It’s 6C which passes for South Polar weather in my part of western Andalucía. It might rain so this is a day for piling logs on the fire , reading Thomas Hardy with a copa or two of good Rioja to hand.

Disgraceful op ed from The Morning Star …ignoring the crimes of Assad , seeing Western Imperialism everywhere but blind to Russian Imperialism from the Tsarist era through the Soviet decades and currently with Tsar Putin.

Anne Appelbaum is an interesting, serious American conservative but not crazy author who is deeply concerned about Trump, the US alt- right and the serious threat to democracy . Worth a look.

There will be a clear choice at the 2029 election: Labour or Reform. The Tories are toast. So get behind the Starmer government, give up on the infantile dreams of ‘real socialism’ or there will be tears before bedtime in five years time.

Sad story in The Times about 88 year old farmer, John Kemp-Welch, who works 5,000 acres of difficult hill farming land in Scotland. Fortunately, he somehow found time to be Chair of the London Stock Exchange, a stockbroker for 30 years and on the board of HSBC.

Sex is biological. Not up for debate as Stonewall used to say of the opposite view. I am not transphobic. Not interested in which gender people put themselves. Just respecting science.

Romania seems set to elect a nationalist anti- NATO pro- Putin government. Europe is sleepwalking into mild totalitarianism. Maybe not so mild…

Not only in the U.K…..like Starmer here in Spain Pedro Sanchez ‘s left of centre coalition government is under concerted attack from the right and far right.

Why do people believe that people vote for right wing governments because Labour is too ‘centrist’ i.e. not left- wing enough? Seems illogical to me😳

The rich and powerful are doing all they can to sabotage this Labour government. Using the gullible, ill- informed and plain stupid to this end.
