On 24th June 2016 we decided to leave the UK. It was a long, hard struggle but we made it just before the Brexit door closed.
The financial and emotional cost was huge. I have only empathy and love for those we left and only fury and, yes, hatred for those who are deliberately destroying my country.

The dairy industry isn’t just environmentally toxic or nutritionally outdated. It’s morally bankrupt. And the longer we protect it, the more damage it does.

Sitting alone, isolating, sick with COVID, I decided to watch Celebrity Traitors on a whim. No spoilers, but having just watched the final, it was all such good fun. It's been a long time since I actually watched TV live, but it had to be done for the final tonight!

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.
He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.
