Mourning losing my followers at that other, terrible place, so new around here. All things Fisheries/ inshore biology and parenting, pro EU, probably woke- whatever that means….. Scotland, UK.

I mean. I knew this was the place to come tonight for post analysis of the Covid inquiry ( love you all and all that), but in doing so, you’ve all reminded me of the existence of Dido, Hancock, Dominic feckin Raab and bloody ‘shut that door, hello Betty’ Gavin Williamson. Kindly all go to bed now.

You have to be a quite remarkable level of stupidity, to not recognise that ‘getting back to his original MAGA promises’ is precisely what he’s now doing.

In Brexit Britain, this is simultaneously very good & very bad news. Fact fans know it is mostly bad but hope (probably naively) that it might stem the flow of nativist bile dominating discourse. What a time to be alive.
Net migration to the UK is falling rapidly. But how far will it fall? A new, detailed estimate by @jamesbowes01.bsky.social projects net migration in 2026 will be 70K to 170K.
This will have significant consequences, both economic and political.

Fer fuck sake guys take care! This is absolutely monstrous. There must be people living next door to these absolute arsehole traitors. They must see them leaving for work FFS!! Kudos to that neighbourhood.
This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.
