Others will vote. It may not be pretty but you will eventually be faced with a choice.

Brexit cost the U.K. economy £37 billion a year. Being a zealot, facts don’t matter perhaps?

You are absolutely correct about the rightwing governments, a result of the first past the post voting system. Even England is not as right wing as the governments FPTP has produced.

It is probable that Scotland will become dependant - but brace yourself for the hard border.

Who will you vote for?

This is a PR stunt by Octopus. The last thing either Scotland or England needs is another Brexit type event. A hard border would hurt people north and south of it.

Voting Trump was a how of pain for many - joy was not what they were feeling.

They want change - are the Democrats ready to offer this? And in what form?

A growing majority of voters here in the U.K. realise Brexit was a big mistake.

At least in the U.S. you will be able to make a difference in the mid terms - provided there is a credible alternative to vote for.

Weirdly Trump & co are helping undo Brexit - slowly.

Patience, the house would not vote to impeach. They may both richly deserve it but for now it’s support each other, organise protest, reach out to their “soft” supporters and build towards the mid terms.

Totally true. Peaceful protest is a great way of making friends, building community and developing the ideas and strategy that can start to turn things around in 2 & 4 years time. Even then porotest and political activism will still be needed.

Logistics, supply chains - without them you can’t fight & win a war. Fingers crossed for the next few years.

I don’t have a smart meter and intend to keep it that way for as long as possible.

Reading this article confirms that there are real downsides.

Or Dogurday, my rescue dog is a bundle of mischief, joy & love. I’d love a cat, not sure they’d appreciate the dog madness.

Very true, but beware the obvious trap in the English phrase “true self”.

I live in the U.K. which has better public transport, but try looking to the Netherlands where car ownership is very high but with excellent public transport & cycle paths car usage is low.

True self or no self?

Celeriac, though as you can see I have a lot to learn

Tell that to the electoral college. Trump was eminently beatable - Biden’s vote dropped significantly compared to 2020. Harris was a weak candidate with nothing of note to offer ordinary people struggling to pay the bills on $7.50 an hour.

Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton - A Winter Leveret - BBC Sounds Chloe Dalton’s memoir about her unlikely and transformative relationship with a wild hare.

“Raising Hare” is a tenderly written story of 1 woman’s unexpected relationship with a wild hare. She keeps her feet on the ground but allows the hare to share its love of life. Well worth a listen as you do the washing up.
