Love classic movies and the EU.
Split my time between France and UK, as I have a bolthole in the Centre.
Adore travelling and am forever planning my next trip.


Off to Covent Garden with smallest one, fabulous memories are going to be made.

So emotional ❤️

This post reminded me that the lecture series has started, so I've just listened to the first episode.

Strongly recommended of course!

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

British five-year-olds are up to 7cm shorter than children of the same age in Europe, with experts suggesting poor nutrition is responsible. Yes, it bloody well is time the two-child benefit cap was scrapped.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

23,000 people died because Boris Johnson was too busy walking a dog, riding a motorbike and hosting guests as he took four days off at Chevening, instead of addressing warning signs of the pandemic

Why isn't Boris Johnson in jail?

Clearly, Gove is on the coke again. Mahmood has been in her job for ten weeks, not 11 years.Thatcher didn’t borrow her ideology from the far-right. She wasn’t a populist. She wasn’t a racial gatekeeper. She stood up to corrupt unions, whereas Mahmood happily shares a Cabinet with corrupt colleagues.
Shabana Mahmood – the new Margaret Thatcher?
