Did anyone catch the Ginger Beer recipe from #handmadechristmas this week?

Whether you love the BBC or loathe it, Trump’s actions this week have been straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Not content with undermining democracy at home, he’s now set his sights on our independent national broadcaster. #bbc

Like Brexit, calls to leave the ECHR are about blaming external organizations for our own problems. Just as Brexit didn't make it easier to control migration, being outside the ECHR won't either. It will just strip everyone in Britain of fundamental rights, aligning us with Russia and Belarus.

75 years ago Today! The European Movement, led by Winston Churchill, wrote the first draft of the ECHR for the Council of Europe as you can see in the ECHR library. The UK was among the first nations to sign this treaty and it required no laws changed in the UK as it was already aligned with UK law.

Sad to see that 38% of YouGov people think that its fairly unlikely the peace deal between Israel and Hamas will hold. I have felt so powerless over this.

Just be thankful we still have the NHS, do let the greedy millionaires take it away!

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

Do you know the story of the scorpion and the frog? You know, the frog agrees to carry the scorpion across the river, because the scorpion promises not to sting him. And then the scorpion stings the frog, half way across the river. The drowning frog asks him why he did it, when they'll both drown

A great morning at the Telford Hamfest. If you missed it this year, put it on your calendar for next year. Not sure why it doesn’t get more coverage in RadCom’s? #hamr #hamradio #amateurradio

I copied today's #Morsle at 30 WPM on hard mode! morsle.fun

Had an excellent afternoon at the G-QRP Convention yesterday. Took part in the Buildathon. Here is the results of my labour. Such a great friendly atmosphere. Looking forward to today. #hamr #hamradio #amateutradio #qrp #make

Watching the setting up of the Telford Hamfest, one of the best #amateurradio rallies in the UK. Here for the G-QRP Convention #hamr #hamradio #qrp why not come and check out the rally? Opens at 10:15

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Had a great Morning on Wednesday, got a chance to fit a #POTA Activation in, at Sandhill Lakes in Worksop. Like most things, it did not go to plan. #hamr #hamradio #amateurradio last minute picture, it's much better than it looks. Also great to meet up with a couple of friends

Fascism ended in annihilation and surrender in WW2, but please go on.

Thanks to @potaspots.bsky.social , and the #POTA #parksontheair hunters who kept me busy this morning to reach another milestone. Thanks all for making #AmateurRadio #HamRadio MAGICAL!

Imagine borrowing someone’s credit card, spending it on yourself.. then charging them for the privilege. That’s the scam of privatised water. Households foot the bill for upgrades, but £22bn will go to investors and creditors. inews.co.uk/news/consume...

Less than 230,000 people signed up to Farage’s party Reform UK - media won’t shut the fuck up about it. Over 600,000 people signed up to Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s new party - absolute crickets from the media. You will never convince me the media isn’t complicit in the rise of the far right

To starve a child is a crime against humanity. We call for: Adequate food & aid supplies for Gaza now. A permanent ceasefire now. All hostages & captives held by Hamas to be released now. Any policy which amounts to the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian population from Gaza to be renounced now.

On BBC Radio 4 Today programme this morning at 7.50 talking about why fewer students are taking up modern foreign languages - especially at A Level? My answers poverty (much more take up in affluent areas), lack of opportunity & therefore aspiration, plus relative scarcity of language teachers.
