A one-man mission to rescue the name 'Nigel' (which I've always disliked) from the gutter.
Bereft at the state of the world we're handing on to our kids. Sorry kids.
Retired. Former IT geek; still dabble.
West Country.
Not Canadian - just love 'em to bits!

I would love it if the author of a book I was reading sidled up to me and shyly asked if I would like it autographed.

Absolutely.

I keep a handy ColorNote on my phone of the ECHR main points, to ask people 'Which of these rights do you wish to be denied to you and family?'
Oddly, very few wish to eschew these for themselves; only for 'others'...

Here is an actual anti-wee structure in our village.

His views are completely at variance to those at the top of the company. Sorry, party.

Do you mean this one?

You're right. Just because he says something, it doesn't automatically mean everyone will cravenly cave in, grovel, and allow it to happen.

I think I might have the answer in one perfectly recursive post (if my screen capture skills bear up).
Kier Starmer in a photo surrounded by red and white (St George) flags below text saying "Maybe this will put all the fash off painting the flag everywhere because they hate him more than we do." The post below, by a stroke of algorithmic fate, asks "What's the most amount of red flags you can fit in a paragraph?"

A patriotic gentleman, while campaigning against, um, something he's not fully thought through, notices his nails are in a shocking condition and really need attention at the soonest opportunity.
