Dad of 3, forever grieving the loss of one of them. Engineer, systems thinker. I make mistakes! Try to walk a mile in someone else's shoes before you judge them! Finally, I don't follow those with zero posts and/or without a profile description.

Clegg, not happy selling off the future of the British youth, sells off the future of the global youth. History will judge Clegg as a despicablel human.

Jake Berry, for 14 years a "proud Conservative" condemning the conservatives mismanagement of country... checks notes, he was a minister twice during that period. Jake, like many will sell his soul for power.

I'm prepared to bet good money that Jenrick will be next Tory leader..

And that's frankly excellent news for everyone who doesn't want to see the Conservative party anywhere near power.

Ah, the red wall Southern voters that swung it for Bozo are showing no signs of remorse. It's the sweeping generalisations that I love the most.

What the Liverpool incident tells us about the new culture war Forty-seven people were injured. The facts were clear. But the far-right had already written the script

The Liverpool attack wasn’t terrorism. But the far-right didn’t wait for facts – they had a script ready.

Read how this works ‡️

What, as a nation of English, have we become?

A country that sighs relief when the alleged perpetrator is described as white male but would have rioted had they been anything but white.

If anyone thought Bruce Springsteen would back down after Donald Trump’s threats, last night he doubled down: β€œIn my country, they're taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers. They're rolling back historic civil rights legislation that led to a more just society”

To all the hard of thinking gammon out there, immigrants are pioneers, the adventurers, the thinkers, the challengers of the norms.

Immigrants were the early adventurers, enabling man to prosper, and they do the same today. The gammon, however, are the Croods, still living in their caves...

A coal-black bird with a bill that covers the whole front of the face.  A long grackle-like boat tail, muscular legs and an alert black eye.  The bird sits on red sand next to water, as if a mud puddle or stream.

This is the Groove-billed Ani (Crotophaga sulcirostris), and it's just straight up a dinosaur.

Like, I know *all* birds are technically avian dinosaurs, but my first thought looking at this guy is: dinosaur.
