Likes a respectful argument, but always prepared to listen to both sides and see things from the opposite perspective.
Likes football, cars, tech and anything cool.

Seems that all Farage’s trips to US had an actual purpose.

Clacton to all intents and purposes is - in the words of one local "about to become the 51st state" of America.

Incredible story

There are now few pleasant ways out of this.

American politicians need to find one of those ways.

@greateranglia.bsky.social why does topping up a smartcard via your app not link into your ticketing systems? My daughter just had to replace a lost one and the ticket office staff had to jump thru hoops to get it sorted. They said we shouldn't buy via app! Ridiculous.

As farmers protest at paying tax for the 1st time on multi-million pound inheritances, a thread on some of the tax breaks farmers get, often uniquely.

Fair enough; food is important. But the idea farmers are being unfairly treated is mad. They get hugely beneficial treatment from the tax system

This sums it up for me. X had just become a cesspool. Whenever I tried to engage with anyone, they automatically started abusing me as a 'Far left commie, traitor, woke' etc. No desire to discuss or debate. Just to shout loudest and rudest. Awful.
I am surprised how much I’m enjoying Bluesky.

It feels like I’ve been sat next to the away fans at football match for the last two years and have now walked home to my local pub.

I still don’t agree with everyone, but at least they are not calling me a w******.

Keir's Starmer's spokesperson asked if the PM is "concerned" about being at the G20 rather than being in Downing St for the farmers protest tomorrow

Meet for key discussions with world leaders, or hang around to hear Jeremy Clarkson outside your house abusing you through a megaphone. A real dilemma

Decided to make the leap from the festering shithole over here. My first impression is 'wow... I wonder how long before they get sued by the festering shithole's owner'. It really is VERY similar, in many ways. People seem nicer tho.
