Scary, isn’t it? We’re also about as far from 1975 as 1975 is from 2000.

Yeah, the French have form for handling aristocrats (which is how I think of the oligarchs).

Spoke to the partner of the friend who was arrested at the Palestine Action protest and passed on the messages I received yesterday. She was moved to tears.

The Israeli Government will never tell you which journalists they believe are affiliated to Hamas until they kill them.

The Israeli Government will never provide evidence of this either.

Getting old sucks but it beats the alternative.

Fingers crossed 🤞

I bet Verbal will miss Murderbot but would never admit it.

Seen in London

‘Untamed’ was worth subscribing for.

Give it a try and let us know what you think. You might love it.

Sounds like she’s fine.

Camping is a lot of effort to be uncomfortable for a week. I came to my senses a couple of years ago and gave my tent to a friend.

I will be speaking to her partner tomorrow. I’ll pass on messages of gratitude.

Bailed until October.

Rely on an overgrown, capricious, petulant toddler for our electricity supply? What would possibly go wrong?

Just heard a friend was one of those arrested in London yesterday. She got back home to Brighton around midnight.

I saw The Strawbs live at a folk festival in around 1970. Became a fan & later bought a couple of albums.

There was me thinking anti vax was peak stupid.

It makes sense once you realize that every accusation is a confession.

I restarted my Netflix subscription to watch the new series of Wednesday. The first episode didn’t have me longing to watch more. I might have had my fill of this series. Fortunately, there’s a lot of stuff added to Netflix since I last subscribed, so I won’t be lost for something to watch.

I think I will become a Wes Anderson completist. I love how his films look.

I highly recommend ‘Untamed’, detective series on Netflix. Starting Yosemite National Park and some people.

Agree. I have never liked live albums, not even Deep Purple’s ‘Made in Japan’.

Rolling Stones surviving Brian’s exit & death was a miracle.

We didn't evolve to kill each other. Only psychopaths can kill without consequences, everyone else will be traumatised, even after killing an enemy soldier in heat of battle.

We’re all a bit safer with these terrorists behind bars.

There are several movies I want to watch that aren’t free on Amazon Prime. The rental fee Amazon want is outrageous and I worked out it will be cheaper to buy a DVD player and used DVDs on eBay. Another reason physical media are still useful.

Does Netanyahu have kompromat on whole Labour front bench?

There’s weekly bingo on offer for the oldies here. I refuse to join in, believing myself to be at least 10 years too young. If it was cheese bingo on the other hand…
