Wonderful Christmas break delivering books to refugee schools on the Burmese border. Lovely kids, dreadful poverty.

Johnson did something similar with Brexit in the UK and it worked. Too many idiots not enough sense around any more. Not long til the end times, and by that I mean one clown will nuke another clown and kill us all.

I bet a lot of Gurkhas who are sent home with ten bob a week and a kick up the bum will be chuffed.

I wonder what the real outcome of the fall of Syria will be? These things haven't worked out well in Afghan, Egypt, Libya and a few other Arab spring states. I hope that we aren't going to be treated to mass executions and gay people being thrown off buildings. Glass half full, right?

Sitting in my office in Bangkok. It i the last week before the Christmas break and winter has set in with temperatures around 20 degrees in the morning and about 30 in the PM. Definitely my favourite time of the year.

It will be interesting to see what sort of government take over in Syria now. Assad going is great but we need to see what comes next.

Hmmm. I seem to be being assailed by titties and crypto people. Thank God that Charlize Theron and Taylor Swift followed me!

Whilst many will find this funny you have to realise that a lot of innocent people will die in the next few weeks when he and his Russian mates let loose the dogs of war. And yes, there will be havoc.

In England we once had a king. His name was Cnut. This fellow does a good impression

American women, Morgan. Lets get this out there. I doubt if many others would have voted the same way.

Killing of insurance CEO exposes simmering anger at US health system Long-standing frustrations at the US health system were revealed online after an insurance executive was shot and killed in New York City.

Interesting that the people who were protesting were arrested and not those who scam millions from the needy. Thank goodness for the #NHS @keepournhspublic.bsky.social

So interesting following what is going on with the death of the healthcare CEO in NY. Obviously anyone being murdered is horrific, especially for those left behind. However, some of the posts show that not a lot of tears are being shed nor sympathy shown. Thank goodness for the NHS!

Tim Shipmans books about Brexit and how it fucked the people, the economy and life in Britain are a real eye opener. The fact that the Tory party was happier looking after itself than the interests of the country is very sad. The only good point is what they did led to where they are today #brexit

Sorry, I am British, trust me my tongue was fairly and squarely in my cheek. Hopefully he and Boris Johnson will someday get together and shrivel up...

How about this for a headline from a leading UK newspaper?

"Poor countries exploit climate panic to press us for easy cash"

Disgusting, eh?
