Potter turned Londoner - weary of watching humanity endanger itself - tired of ordinary folks cheering on oligarchs who despise & impoverish them.

I seem to be very much appreciate by beautiful young women.
& highly successful bitcoin traders on here. As an overweight married 61 yr old with limited investible resources this surprises me. I'd go as far as to say I'm a little suspicious of both motives & judgement.
When democracy is killed it happens slowly, almost imperceptibly, it's not a deadly cobra strike it's a gradually but remorselessly tightening pythonesque asphyxiation.

Artists concerned at the takeover of the Festival business by unethical private equity firms are allying with Park neighbours fighting to protect their green spaces from commercial exploitation in London. #saveGunnersburyPark #ProtectBrockwell

The “Battle of Brockwell Park” isn’t over.
This year's festivals may have gone ahead, but between boycotts, lawsuits, insider discontent and publications shutting down their own reporting, the underlying issues aren't going away.

Just back from Milton Keynes hospital where my Dad had a pacemaker fitted on the NHS & contemplating that in the USA we'd be charged 11 to 14k USD (or our insurance would). Thank the lord @keepournhspublic.bsky.social

As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about “two-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of “two-tier Keir”.

The man is a fraud.

How Orwellian, how tragic, that the USA, forged by, & the product of, its liberation from its erstwhile imperial oppressor, should now be extorting wealth from an oppressed, sovereign nation. King George must be chuckling from the grave.

Farage et al are not patriots, they are agents of our enemies.
Well what do you know. Reform UK's former leader in Wales has just been accused in court of accepting bribes in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament that would benefit Russia.

The cost of divisive populist politics is human lives. Shame on you Trump and your retinue of psychophants and crooks.

The extraction of rents by the 1% from wider population became harder after the 2008 crash even though they continue to take bns in subsidies, contracts & own public assets & critical infrastructure. Their response has been authoritarian politics & promotion of division. Trump & Musk personify this

Let's not be hypocritical when it comes to Musk's heritage. Who doesn't have at least one Grandparent who was a raging white supremacist?

I concur.
"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

@iaindale.bsky.social Kudos to you Iain for your thoroughly righteous take down of the callous, extreme, odious Trump supporter. If ever there was a personification of the terrifying spectre of a populist, authoritarian, expansionist, isolationist USA he is it. Dark times sir.
