Just trying to stay in touch with the people I know IRL. I'm going to check here every once in a while, until the world settles down. He/They/Whatever makes you comfortable. Would like to rejoin the EU in some form.

NION Women Rejects Anti-Trans Narrative at Kenwood Ladies Pond Image of women swimming in the wild

πŸŠβ€β™€οΈThe women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision.

In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.

Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.

I heard Zohran Mamdani twice described as a radical socialist on yesterday's BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Up to that point I'd really only heard Trump, and his propagandists refer to him that way. Was Radio 4 justified in calling him radical?

I think Holly Willoughby would be a bad choice for the main program. Zoe Ball and La Voix would be great. Claudia is unique and adorable so HW would be a poor replacement for her and ZB would be a better Tess #Strictly

He reminds me very much of one of our own fur-pups. So happy for Stormzy, he's gorgeous.

My mother-in-law died in a care home at the tail end of COVID having been denied access to her family (us) for a considerable period of time. Farage should sit down and shut up.

I used to get them whilst scuba diving. Like you I got through them by telling myself β€œit’ll pass”. As far as the marathon goes I’ll make a donation on pay day marathon or no marathon. You look after yourself and let your marathon be looking after the Happy Doggos for as long as you can.

Can you help our struggling animal sanctuary reach our justgiving goal?

We need to hit our target for supplies, hay deliveries, farrier & vets fees

If you can spare anything to nudge us closer, we’d be so thankful. All details: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

I'd like to see them give it a go; I don't think they'd have the wherewithal nor the resilience. They'd get sent back though knowing our luck.

So a virtually brand new news site can cover this story, which is of national importance, but the BBC and our msm remain silent?They’re not just silent they’re now complicit in a cover up of a foreign intelligence agency penetrating a UK political party. This needs to be spread widely.

I suppose when things were easily understandable by everyday people (because we didn't know very much and died young) his statement might have been plausible. However, I can't engineer a vaccine, manufacture a computer or operate on people (and they survive). So yeah, I have to trust experts.

I read your email this morning. Fur people are special, & I have failed to come to terms, in general, with the loss of ours over the years & some of them in particular. There's something profound in what you've shared about Big Mac's final days that I think will help, thank you. Thinking of you.

I like having the continuity of having a monarchy and the HoL. I don't really think having more elected officials will make things better, the quality of MPs is going down not up. Don't run before you can walk let's see them run the country, demonstrate some competence before suggesting remodelling.

I’ve wondered if ants are able to appreciate the complexity of the world beyond them despite their size. Judging by Piers Morgan’s limited grasp of the world around him I guess the answer is no. Unless ants are more intelligent than Piers Morgan. There’s a thought.

I’m fine with all of those positions except his conclusion. I have a very low opinion of Reform and Tice etc.

I believe Reform wants you British voter to have US style healthcare. See how much you want it after watching this 10 minute video.

The people (Tories and Reform) who tell you your rights are safe if we leave the ECHR as they’ll replace them with British laws also told you our trade, borders and NHS was safe if we left the EU because they’d negotiate amazing trade deals, take control of our borders and fix the NHS…..

Absolutely not what we need but clearly a lever that Reform could use to get power. Just looking at the misery developing in America why would we want to replicate it. Working class people would see more control and more money flow to rich and our healthcare system would be destroyed.

If you are following along with my Subaru UK saga. The courier shipping the part has apparently lost it on route to Subaru UK before they send it to the dealer. Apparently, replacing the replacement part will take a week. No car for four weeks at that point.
