Why the fuck are the majority in this country being held to ransom by a small but loud mouthed group of unhinged, narrow minded racists?
It’s been allowed to go on now for over 10 years & it should have been very firmly shut down when it first started.
It’s the cause of the fucking mess we are in!

@kinglucythe1st.bsky.social I hope your father is feeling a little better Sam and that he’s mentally strong.
Are you getting excited about the Ashes? I am planning on trying to watch some of it live on YouTube. Hazelwood is out of the 1st test as well as Cummins.

I personally think taxes need to go up, I resent their stupid manifesto promise which means they either have to create mistrust in politicians or do nothing meaningful to stop the spiralling decline of services, which in itself creates mistrust & apathy. An appalling vicious circle they fell into.

I drove to the supermarket this morning. It’s not much of an achievement but it was only the third time I’ve driven since I suffered a stroke in March. I’m planning on driving 3 or 4 times a week to build confidence.

The signs from Australia (their worst flu season on record), Japan (where they’ve had to close schools) and India indicate that this could be a long, drawn out flu season here with hospitals at capacity
If you haven’t had your flu vax get it

One benefit of retirement is that I don’t need to drive home from work in the dark after the clocks have changed. Sometimes the 6 mile journey took 1.5 hours because a car had broken down. I hope everyone who is driving home tonight has a quick and safe journey.

I’m resting this afternoon. I went out shopping but nearly fainted & fell while crossing the road & felt very lightheaded. I aborted the shopping and made my way home slowly.

I know it’s been 14C for the last couple of days but the house has been cold (and probably damp) so I’ve switched on the central heating today.

It’s being called “Trump’s peace plan” but I can’t be the only one who thinks he had fuck all to do with it. I’m convinced he just blackmailed people - “call it Trump’s or I won’t support it”
He’s a petulant, pathetic parasite on the world, incapable of altruistic, detailed thinking about anything.
