A fan of ginger beer; walking on the beach; thinly spread vegemite on hot, buttered toast; real coffee; writing; theatre; early modern Scottish history; sunsets that leave me breathless; warm hearths on wintry days and warm hearts most every day; cheese.

According to tomorrow's forecast for my part of Scotland, it'll be rain, rain, rain all through the morning up clearing up by mid-afternoon when all our services will be done... of course. Sigh. No snow, at least - stay warm!!

The ceaseless platforming of Reform and Farage by the MSM, especially the Biased Broadcasting Corporation, perchance?

Martin Davies (@martindavies631844) Unfortunately, algorithms on social media are making people think the opposite, and that the Russian funded Reform are the solution. Like Brexit, this is hidden from you unless you are gullible.
