Art, science, cricket; anti-tory, pro-Europe animal-adorer (except spiders). Stopped off in Cornwall for a while, and might end up staying here.
Always hated Trago. The original owner was an absolute b'stard by all accounts, and staff treated very poorly.

It's counter-productive, surely? Puts the interviewee on the defensive. Polite questioning might elicit better answers!

What of we all ignored the flags? I reckon they'd get bored pretty quickly if they provoked no reaction.

Now, I dislike Apple ones: my friend has one and regularly asks me to fix things & I find everything so difficult to find. I guess it's what you're used to.

Except to those whose jobs and businesses rely on trade with the US. Can't just switch it off without a lot of damage so expediency has to be endured.

I so agree! It's easy to be "purist" if you're not the one waiting for a hip replacement etc.

I turned the Today programme off this morning. They seemed to be desperately trying to get the interviewees to talk down the government. To their credit, the interviewees declined the invitation. It was about defence too. Russia's listening guys!

I found it interesting that Sweden has reduced net migration to zero, and Denmark planning the same, yet neither country has found it necessary to leave the ECHR to do that. Someone ought to quiz Reform/Tories about that.
