Rugbyleague loving, trade unionists way to the left of Starmer but pragmatic. I realise that my own personal socialist government isn’t what everyone else wants.

Take a Bayesian approach to life. Let’s say 10% of people are Knobheads. But your perception of people is that 40% are KHs. Well that person you have just classed as a KH has 1:4 25% chance of actually being KH. So cut people a bit of slack.

So when these iconic parts of our natural uplands start to be illegally killed by gamekeepers, I hope the public outcry and the punishment matches that for the Sycamore Gap tree

The truth about the shooting industry: 40M birds bred to die, wildlife persecuted, ecosystems wrecked—all for profit and entertainment. How can this still be legal? Ban bird shooting NOW.

RIP John Prescott. A traditional Labour man, who ultimately realised that the best chance to get Tories out, was to embrace Blairs Labour, as it was the mood of the Electorate at the time, rather than be stubborn about Old Labour. Can't help but feel there's a very good example there to be had?

Just watching Highland Cops on the IPlayer. Funny how gamekeepers can spot a fishing rod hidden in the undergrowth, but can’t see a big wire chain fence blocking an otter holt. Guardians of the Countryside my arse.

Hard to express how few fucks I give that our budget does not please a Brexit-voting billionaire who moved his business to Singapore and bought 36,000 acres of farmland to avoid paying tax.

Can’t wait to see how the Daily Mail spin this budget as bad one for the working people, perhaps they will major on the £450tax on (private) jet travel.
