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:

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

May have found the only Greenland resident who welcomes Donald Trump.

(NB I do realise that a major reason for the Trump lust for Greenland is the abundance of rare earth minerals and the prospect of cheaper batteries & rocket components for President Musk.)

I do still find myself wondering if Trump wants Canada and Greenland so he can form some kind of Russian - North America alliance around the North Pole.
It sounds crazy but then he is.

Huntington's disease successfully treated for the first time #SomeGoodNews
The new treatment is a type of gene therapy given during extended brain surgery. Data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients, so the decline you'd normally expect in one year would take four years after treatment.

I love the secret feature at Nine Elms London Underground station that reveals itself during a sunny day.
If you arrive at the perfect moment, the roundel logo is beautifully projected onto the floor.
So I took Dancer Andreya with me to interact with the scene.

A very long and important THREAD -
The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.

10 years since we lost David Bowie, good to have a bit of him back ❤️
"Each of the 15 tracks is played, interspersed with archive recordings of Bowie’s voice, interviews & reflections that have been recorded for the BBC across the years. The programme imagines Bowie himself as host, guiding listeners through the music that inspired him."
