Ice hockey. Road cycling. Philosophy. Nature conservation. Rewilding. Comics. Union rep.
The nadir will be when the Bulgarian economy overtakes, due during the 2040s. So, you’ve got at least two decades more of this.

If only we’d known. Seen the tell tale signs. How they’d gained their power in the party. Seen the people they’d destroyed. The pleasure they took in it.
Deeply unprincipled and unserious liars. Media pals all in.
It was all there. And dismissed. And now you are disappointed.
And deservedly so.

Denmark has PR.
The Danish Social Democrats could afford to lose votes to the greens, liberals and left because they would still support them in parliament to form a broad red-green government.

But try winning an FPTP election on 20% of the vote! 😳

Look at Chinese attitudes towards the Japanese. Hatred on a level unimaginable to most Europeans.

Talking about individuals. The state is slightly more reasonable

Apples seem to have originated in Central Asia, in the area roughly where modern Kazakhstan is.

What if I told you--and you'll want to grab a seat for this one--that Halloween isn't even American?

Or dookin fur apples.

During the war, the BBC regularly had Mr Goebbels on the Home Service, just to make sure they covered ”all viewpoints”.
