Tech journalist (retired); mostly music, dog walking and DIY these days. If you’re looking, US border people, Trump is a Berkeley Hunt.
Sly Stone and now Brian Wilson. Go watch Summer of Soul, and listen to Surf’s Up and God Only Knows - I defy you to keep a dry eye.

Our NHS is not for sale. With Trump ramping up his trade wars trade talks must not open the door to US healthcare companies profiting from our NHS. Keir Starmer must protect our NHS by keeping it off the table during negotiations. Agree? Add your name: 38d.gs/april_bsky

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
