I dabble in IT and follow Arsenal F.C. Occasionally UK and world politics cross my path and I voice my concerns. Oil and gas kill people in wars, I'm doing my best to be less reliant on it.

Wars...
A satirical illustration divided into four puzzle-like panels. Top left: an oil pumpjack operates under a blue sky. Top right: a shocked woman stares at her smartphone, which displays a surprised emoji. Bottom left: a hand holds a chunk of mineral ore labeled “OIL.” Bottom right: a red car drives past a house with smoke rising from its chimney. The panels highlight society’s dependence on oil and minerals, contrasting everyday comforts with their hidden costs.

UK Politics 2024 - 2025
An satirical scene where an announcer with MSM (mainstream media) is shouting everyone move to the right in a musical chairs scenario. Three chairs labbled Labour, Convervatives and Reform and three suited men moving to the right to their next seat. AK

Back from a blissful break from news, sport or work related matters. The Aegean is at the top of my list for peace of mind and relaxation. Now, back to the grind.

It's absolutely insane that the Tesla board looks at Musk and thinks, 'yes! this is the man we want to continue leading our company'. One from a financial aspect and two from a company image aspect. Sales and stock are plummeting globally.

Let there be no illusion in the US that we in the UK do not rate Liz Truss highly. She's positively toxic:

Genius marketing! Grown exclusively and farmed outside Greece's dives and bars. Dog owners know this is a sought-after delicacy for their pets. 👀 #Greece #pets #humor
