Fairness crusader and sarcastic curmudgeon with a big heart. Golf, running, hills, nature, mycology, politics, science, centrist, humanist. Not keen on conspiracy nutters, anti-vaxxers and despise post 2010 Tories. Hate Brexit and Reform. USA, WTF, man!?!

Have all the history books which have ever been written about WW2 or school lessons I have ever been taught about the subject been utterly and completely wrong.
Because according to Trump, they are and were.

Problem is, it keeps the talking heads in business, and they love it. Good for business and bad for the rest of the world, especially average US citizens. Stop talking and properly push back; its past time for the US opposition (even the unknown opposition in the GoP) to galvanise and stop the crazy

If a boat landing on Greenland from the US a few hundred years ago is a valid argument for ownership. Can Russia have Alaska back, can the UK have the US and Canada back. The Spanish and Portuguese have some questions about S.America too.

Slightly amusing story about my MP, Jenrick, who appears to have been binned off today and heading Reform's way. Its a time I personally had him in knots and speechless.

Unless you live in a true autocracy where defectors find windows or prisons, such as NK, China or Russia, you have to realise that bad people turn on bad people because its in their nature.
I say this when considering the GoP and Reform. They have to turn on each other, it's inevitable.

Would everyone please offer me a shoulder and a sick bag as it is likely, but unsurprisingly, be that I will be part of a Reform constituency very soon.
BREAKING Kemi Badenoch has sacked Robert Jenrick from the shadow cabinet, removed the whip and suspended his party membership.
She says she was "presented with clear, irrefutable evidence that he was plotting in secret to defect" to Reform

Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

Politics changes; we vote on the country's direction every 5 years.
Even if we don't rejoin in some way, we need a referendum to officially clarify the position. Not doing so is anti-democratic.
Unless Farage has Russian/US interests to hide, he should welcome a vote to confirm this.

To win the argument with those critical, disappointed Leave voters, it needs a credible plan, now more than ever, to repair all the damage, not just one that fiddles around at the edges
