Much as I enjoy the dancing, the costumes and the music, I do feel that #Strictly is slowly suffocating under the weight of dull, repetitive motivational speeches. God spare us this endless sentimental stodge.

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.
Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."

Keir Starmer having pensioners arrested for wearing t-shirts, but apparently quite happy to say nothing about a foreign billionaire calling for revolution, inciting political violence on the streets of London, while dozens of Police officers are hospitalised by the far-right thugs he was addressing.

Big shout out to the preppers, whose stated reason for spending years hoarding all manner of lethal weapons, was that they would be ready for the day when the US government declared war on its own population.
So, that's.... now, isn't it?

Dammit. Someone nicked our cute lil yellow Yoonit. A mini cargo bike.
Share around, and keep an eye out around Edinburgh. Shout at @cargobikemovement.bsky.social if you see it. Let's make this thing too hot to handle.
