@chrisgpackham.bsky.social How’s this as a candidate for ‘fox of the day’? In our garden in London

As a wise man on here once said to me ‘when you’re taking flak you must be over the target.’ Keep up the good work.

I’m sure all the attendees at the event have thought through all this complicated reasoning carefully and have an answer 🙄

Call me an old sceptic, but I’m starting to think these people are really trying to unite the nation after all. It’s a puzzler… 🤨

The brick to plums episode definitely was a ‘unite the nation’ moment. 😁

It only feels like a no go area when these fuckers are in town en masse.

I remember my mum (a 20 a day smoker) sending me off to buy menthol cigarettes when she had bronchitis, because she thought they’d be good for her chest 😂 (this was in the early 1970s, when tobacconists would sell cigarettes to anyone, regardless of age)

The right-wing press is horny for a fascist government.

Fascinating listening to @drfernriddell.bsky.social in conversation with Matthew Sweet at the British Library this evening. Such an engaging speaker. Thank you. Looking forward to next Thursday on Channel 4 😁

What an absolutely loathsome, lying, manipulative piece of shit.

‘No plan Brexit’. Good job it wasn’t something important then! Fucking charlatans.

This very British type of complacency is infuriating and reminiscent of the useless Remain campaign in 2016, which failed to learn that the lying, manipulative hard Right doesn’t play by the same ethical rules as nice folk, has no sense of honourable conduct and sees fair play as weakness.

Well, if space Karen’s dad said it, we should definitely overturn the result of decisive general election victory 🙄.

For some reason, I’ve got a real craving for mince pies… 🤔

Just moved here myself and the difference is striking. You’re absolutely right, we could do with less angst and conflict in our lives. This place feels wholesome after what Musk has done to Twitter.
