Listening to @mrjamesob.bsky.social on his discussion of why Trump is doing what he is, why the world is constantly moving to the right. Why authoritarianism is on the rise. I have concluded that the reason lies in the unstoppable trends of society.

Nice visit to Bempton and Flamborough yesterday. I originally intended to focus on puffins but ended up concentrating on the amazing Gannets with just a couple of puffins and one amazing kestrel.

RABID! There is no other way to describe the behaviour of the majority of the press and media. ( including the BBC). This is not news. This is not reporting. This is not a free press. This is rabid, anti EU propaganda. Are you taken in by it?

Freedom of movement is NOT a swearword. It was precious. And brexit stole it from the british people.

Listening to the press conference with the EU. I am sickened by the unrelenting aggressive, pro brexit nature of the questioning from the press. It is clear they continue with the pro brexit, anti EU rhetoric which has been so damaging to our country. Sickening and disgusting. Even the BBC.

Toxic, toxic, toxic! The brexit promoting right wing media has crippled the UK. Now they brand any attempt at recovery as "betrayal". This is not a "free press", this is ultra right wing propaganda aimed at keeping you impoverished, subservient and servile. Are you taken in? #RejoinEU

Sickening... The state of Israel is currently starving children to death as well as killing and maiming them in vast numbers. Remember the image of the dismembered dead child hanging from a wall after Israel blew her up. And yet.. They take part in a feckin song contest. Where is our humanity?

In the late 21st century the gap between those who have wealth and power, and those who have nothing, has reached gargantuan proportions. Can a fightback succeed against those with sophisticated weapons, including nuclear? Can anything save the world from self destruction? amzn.eu/d/1kIjeOm

Unstoppable and accelerating climate change, the continued concentration of wealth and power into fewer hands, a shift to right-wing politics, the growing number of armed conflicts, and the rise of AI and robotics - where is this going to lead us in 50 years, in 500 years? amzn.eu/d/gAE2eFN

With supermarkets not always making the country of origin clear on fruit, vegetables and many other goods, FYI the first three numbers of the bar code denote the country of origin.

Never mind all the "no thank you" replies from #literaryagents and #publishers. When you've self published, and your second reader, who you do not know, sends you a message saying. "Really enjoying the book, can't put it down" It makes it all worthwhile. amzn.eu/d/cBbAYdt

And there you have it. Nothing, short of gas chambers, will ever satisfy the racists... www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Does anyone here think that the way to combat the rise of reform with its repugnant, right wing, anti immigration policies.... is to implement repugnant, right wing, anti immigration policies? It won't be enough to satisfy the racists.....it never will be. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx...

Democracy is dying! Drowned by a sea in FB Karens and Kevins for whom truth is unimportant, and who are being exploited by a series of malign actors. To save democracy we must answer this... Which is more important, your freedom to act or my freedom to be free of oppression? @mrjamesob

Can Nadya keep the twin islands of Woldshire and Nym free from the control of The Guardian Find out here amzn.eu/d/1IB3Pyi

Nadya, our heroine from the 25th century, reads the journal left by her distant ancestor, Harry. In it, he describes how the political and environmental trends of the early 21st century led to the collapse of western civilisation, the great flood and the rise of The Guardian. amzn.eu/d/9stl5cZ

Our heroine from the 25th century encounters the world of The Guardian for the first time. All looks prosperous and pristine but is there a dark secret underlying the apparent utopia? #sciencefiction meets #romance, #adventure and #mystery in this soon to be sci-fi classic. amzn.eu/d/1wmwPCO

He's right... But the problem is no party saying it was going to do that would be electable by the UK electorate. They are too invested in the petty capitalist struggle...

Great review from BestThrillers before MILES IN TIME drops tomorrow - “A dazzling and poignant exploration of time, memory and the fragile courage of youth.” bestthrillers.com/miles-in-tim...
