I've been Charley on social media for over a decade & I've also had IRL harassment so no personal photo or surname on my profile.
But if you ever want to know what I'm like & who I am, in 2018 I did a video for Final Say for All about me & why Brexit was personal:

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.

When I visited Iceland years ago for work and interviewed one of the geothermal power plant bosses, he told me they have heated pipes under the pavements in parts of Reykjavik to melt ice and, in his words, "reduce the load on healthcare". Saw the ice-free pavements for myself.
We are so technologically advanced in some areas but when it comes to keeping ice at bay we are hopeless. Surely we can do better here - either traditional gritting or thinking of new tech - robot gritters, new paving materials?

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
