There’s only one real person of Presidential honour in this picture. That person is President Zelenskyy of Ukraine.
The other is Russian sympathiser Captain Bone-spurs who dodged his own military duty when his country needed him, and is a disgrace to his own country and people.

Either the sun is setting, or it’s the great fire of old London town all over again. Meanwhile new London looks on and laughs whilst chewing on a fat cigar and sipping a fine Pinotage.

Have been full MoJo (using a iPhone 16 Pro Max mobile phone as the primary camera) so far this week, with visits to the BFI and elsewhere in London for ITV News.
More tomorrow with BBC. Trust me, after lugging huge pieces of kit for 28 years, my back and shoulders approve.

Day 1 of 2 with ITV News. All trains to London Waterloo from the South cancelled. Yes, I’m inconvenienced for 2 or 3 hours, but the reason why is tragic.

It’s Friday, and I’ve jacked it all in for the week. Me and Mrs ukcameraman wish you all a very happy and relaxing Christmas. If you can’t, because I know Christmas isn’t for everyone, I hope you find a little joy or happiness in the small moments that may present themselves in the coming days.
