I'm interested in politics, culture, education and justice, but - please note - ZERO interest in Crypto, and ZERO in using this site to meet new people so no DMs please.
After seeing positive political news for the first time in a while, here's a little catch-up of wildlife I've seen over the past few months. #wildlifephotography #redkites #butterflies #dragonflies #hoverflies #seals

I'm still very amateur and take far more terrible pictures than good ones, but if you have a passion, keep practising, & keep putting yourself in the right places, you may just get what you're after. In my case, that's shots of dragonflies in flight.

Some of the birds I encountered in a recent trip to South Wales, starting with a juvenile robin.

Across the Atlantic, the "Leader of the Free World" (Ha!) is celebrating a fascist coup on July 4th - Independence from the Rule of Law - while here a "Labour" PM is cosying up to him. F*** 'em all!
Instead, here are some beautiful predators that have survived for eons. #dragonflies #fascism #POTUS

Walking through a bluebell wood with a student and seeing red kites above me: worse ways to earn a living and to support your mental health.

This is true only in the sense that, every day, maybe every hour, billions of people ask, "Dear God, what has that evil, senile monster done this time?" #lies #delusions

Red Kites over the village of Bedmond, which is northwest of London and was the birthplace of the only English Pope. Spoiler alert: he was a terrible Pope! Fortunately, the people - and the birds - who live there are fine.

The benefit of having a student who lives outside London, and of arriving early enough to look around before the lesson. #redkites #robins #birdsinflight #birdsinging #fox

OK #KeirStarmer - you're a lawyer, and this proposal would be as atrocious a breach of international law imaginable, so go ahead and condemn it. If you have either a backbone or a conscience, it should be easy, or do you believe in appeasement? #internationallaw #ethniccleansing #appeasement
