Proud to be a Yorkshireman of Scottish descent. Lefty Humanist. Green Party member. Dislikes Tories. Hates racism, bigotry, misogyny, Putin, Trump and Farage. Loves music - Alan Hull/Lindisfarne, Runrig, Springsteen, Dylan, Cohen, Al Stewart. #FBPE. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. 🇺🇦.
Trump's actions in Venezuela simultaneously legitimise Russia's occupation of Ukraine, and embolden China to take back (as Xi sees it) Taiwan.

The three dictators are tightening their grip on the world... All are evil. None should be courted by democratic politicians.

"The right decisions". As in "The decisions we order them to make".

And what the fuck are "levers of leverage"? What other sort are there"?

It must be particularly galling to be invaded by semi-literate children 🤮

Afternoon, President #Trump. Just a thought... Now you're in the business of illegally abducting foreign politicians, maybe you'd like one even more to your taste?

You're welcome...

Please Claudia! I know who the Secret Traitor is... 👍

Old photo: The year has turned, the days are lengthening. Slowly but surely, Spring will come.

Heres a foretaste, bright blossom in the churchyard of St Mary & St Hardulph, Breedon on the Hill, Leicestershire.

Old photo: Llangollen station, Denbighshire, was built in 1865, by the Great Western Railway, to the north of its usual heartland.
Today it forms the eastern terminus of the Llangollen Railway heritage line.

Morning Prime Minister...

This is what speaking out against fascism looks like. As opposed to offering it state visits... 🤮

I'm not daft. I'm aware this image may well be AI. But the point remains 100% valid!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social It's not only young men who admire Andrew Tate, James. Some older ones think he's an 'important voice' for men, too.
I wonder whose voters the desperate Ms Badenoch might be trying to attract?

I hope you're not suggesting that #Farage would ever associate with a violent, woman-hating moron.
Or describe him as an 'important voice for men'... 🤮

Old photo: well, it's approaching Christmas. So here's one of the plumper residents of Loch Carron, in Wester Ross...

Is it just me? Or does that small and unconvincing second head make you think of Zaphod Beeblebrox?

He was two-faced, as well... 🤮

Old photo: not quite your average budgie cage! The lavish formal gardens created for Queen Elizabeth I by her friend (ahem...) Robert Dudley, later Earl of Leicester, included a huge aviary, and have been beautifully re-created by English Heritage at Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire.

Old photo: Cill Chriosd (Christ's Church), former parish church of Strath, Isle of Skye, was abandoned around 1840, during the unforgivable highland clearances.
Its history, and the remaining gravestones, almost illegible with the growth of moss, create an air of deep melancholy...

Old photo: Witley Court, a huge Italianate mansion in Worcestershire, stands today as an elegant ruin, mainly due to a fire in 1937.
It is now under the management of English Heritage.

Old photo: I well remember that strange, silvery light. The Isle of Skye seen from the top of Bealach na Bà, the Pass of the Cattle, on an icily cold October day in Wester Ross...

One more thought James. I guess you'll know the wonderful epitaph Yeats wrote for himself - the last verse of "Under Ben Bulben'...

Old photo: Summer over the Gospel Pass. To be found in the Bannau Brycheiniog, this is the highest road pass in Wales.

Old photo: a look back to a summer's day in glorious Yorkshire - the River Swale, seen from Richmond Castle.

Nice to see that little Nigel is being consistent, isn't it?

How the hell did we end up with a vicious anti-Semite, and Russian sympathiser (whose right-hand man pleaded guilty to accepting Russian bribes) as a serious contender for government?

What are we doing in this place? 🤮

So #Trump is making a big issue of President Biden allegedly using an autopen to sign documents. So what??

Surely better than a jagged mechanical waveform, laboriously produced by an educationally disadvantaged child using a big Sharpie...

Old photo: Built in 1784, Quarry Bank Mill, Styal, Cheshire, is at the heart of an early industrial community considered to be of international importance.
The cotton mill and its estate are now in the care of the National Trust, and operated as a museum.

Old photo: rising to a height of 330 feet in places, the chalk cliffs at Bempton, in glorious Yorkshire's East Riding, are a noted RSPB nature reserve.
