I like cooking, photography, reading, music and wine. I have two Westies who I love dearly and I am in a civil partnership. History is a passion of mine, also Wargaming. Take a look at my blog https://hippolytastinyfootsteps.blogspot.com/

Procrastination Is Starmer's special power.

12.11.2025 10:00 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Indeed. I remember predicting in 2016 that Brexit was just the first stage in a right-wing coup d'etat, at least a decade or more in the planning, organised from Tufton Street with lots of backing from the USA. Now, with this and calls to leave the ECHR and Reform on the rise, I am sure I was right.

11.11.2025 22:59 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Yes, Trump's words were edited, but that doesn't make it a false narrative. BBC insiders have colluded in attempts to destabilise and overthrow the BBC, people like Sir Robbie Gibb who helped create GB News and owns the Jewish Chronicle. He thinks that the BBC is too "woke" and anti-Israel.

Farage's head is so far up Trump's arse you can't see anything of him from the waist up.

The Labour right has always been very Atlanticist.

09.11.2025 21:24 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0No, nor can I. Under Starmer, Labour is happy to see the UK turn into Airstrip One.

09.11.2025 20:54 β π 9 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yes, and they are being aided and abetted by Farage and his clown troupe.
09.11.2025 20:53 β π 4 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0True, but I'm still glad to see him go. He's mostly to blame for the BBC's anti-EU, pro-Reform shift to the Right.

They were twin sisters, Maisie went first at 14, from diabetes complications and Daisy went almost a year to the day later from cancer. Knowing when to let them go is the last loving gift you can give them. You have my deepest sympathies.

07.11.2025 23:16 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yes, in 1916, I think, but not for married men and there were exemptions for a lot of areas of employment.
07.11.2025 23:14 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0My parents were teenagers during the war. My father was horribly racist when I was growing up in the 60s and they were both homophobic. Their attitudes were very much the norm back in the 40s and also in the 50s, 60s and 70s.
07.11.2025 20:05 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Conscription was always the plan in the event of war, because it was widely understood after the previous war that relying on voluntary enlistment wasn't going to be enough. It was recognised that war in 1939 would require mobilising the entire country.
