British European till the day I die. Love music. Play guitar. Will eat owt except oysters. Deeply in love with our lass. Teesside, obviously.
If you followed me to here from Threads a few years ago, you might want to follow me back on Threads again. I really did try to persevere with BlueSky but engagement after two years is still crap. www.threads.com/@jim_gardner...

I've lost count of the amount of times BlueSky has asked me to sign in again. It's tedious and makes me worry the app is even more buggy than it looks. If this happens again I'm deleting it and going back to Threads.

I'm an atheist because I was raised a Catholic. While the Bible is a heavily if not an entirely fictionalised account, it does nevertheless teach a lesson about resistance to tyrany. So it's weird that those who claim it's a historically accurate document chose the latter over the former.

This what the BBC wrote under the Tories in 2017

“UK economy grew by 0.3% between April and June, according to Office for National Statistics”

This is with growth figures today.

“UK economic growth slowed between April and June to 0.3%, official figures show”

It’s no coincidence.

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

The ITV documentary about Lucy Letby is very good. Old school, public interest broadcasting which assumes the intelligence and the conscience of its audience. Anyone with the slightest interest in the case should watch it.

Morning all.
Personally, I prefer to have a govt which prioritises the diplomatic & practical well being of my own country. Pragmatism as well as principle. Perseverance over populism.
After 14 years of Tory travesty I want a govt that just gets on with a very difficult job 🌹
