This site is as f****d up as the other one in many ways. A complete lack of perspective from many "Mahmoud and Starmer are just like the Nazis", and a moral and ideological certainty about their worldview.

Oi @johnferrett.bsky.social, look what I got in the post.
A gold PCS badge for 25 years’ membership.
Not as good as redundancy or retirement but it will have to do…

The EU is getting bigger:

10 countries want to join. They include:
Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Kosovo , and Ukraine.

The EU is more popular than ever and the U.K. has few friends and has shrunk its economy by 4%.

Four gigs this year and they have all been good.
Pixies
Iron Maiden
Wendy James
And last night’s Fields of the Nephilm set in Kentish Town was a great way to round off the musical year.
Roll on 2026 and 40 years of gig going.

A great rock and roll show tonight at a packed Forum in Kentish Town seeing Fields of the Nephilm.
Everything a live gig should be.

Having seen Transvision Vamp twice back in 1988, virtually 37 years to the day I’ve had the pleasure of seeing @thewendyjames.bsky.social live again in Brighton.
Top night out last night.

Very boring technocratic politician beats very boring machine politician.
Neither have the star quality of Angela Raynor.

West Ham have the worst fans in the league.
Silent but so quick to boo.
It’s football lads not pantomime.
I love my day out over there but so many of my own fans are utterly miserable.
Now I realise they haven’t had anything to cheer but the crowd used to be the twelfth man.
