We’ve reached the point where the American Dream is now the American Nightmare.

Beautiful.

This. I’ve said elsewhere Trump’s the screaming toddler in the supermarket confectionary aisle. Yet the grown ups egg him on, waving Snickers bars in his face instead of walking away saying ‘we’ll leave you here… we’re going… bye bye.’ and calmly wandering off to the deli aisle.

Now closing on 99,000 signatures! Keep going! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Now that’s how you do a party political broadcast. Like it? Then join. Bravo @zackpolanski.bsky.social

‘Terrible things are happening outside… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return… to find their families gone.’ Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Not claiming credit for this, but…

Trump - “The world is not secure unless we have complete and total control of Greenland." Basically means… "Unless we secure Greenland, we won’t have complete and total control of the world."

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided. When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid. The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe. It's time for a rethink.

Dear Bluesky friends… sign this >> stoptrump.org.uk/sign-venezue... #stoptrump #venezuela #criminaltrump #arresttrump #keirstarmer

Hey America… you know YOU’RE the bad guys now right?

stoptrump.org.uk/sign-bbc-let... - totally on board with this, sign it if you are too. The unhinged orange fartleberry must not be allowed to ransack the BBC.

I did a thing. You should too if you’re not impressed with the current political landscape, but are impressed with @zackpolanski.bsky.social & @greenparty.org.uk’s bold new voice. The UK has needed honest, common sense representation for too long… now we have it. 💚 Join today! join.greenparty.org.uk

Direct and correct. Damn, this challenging of the media is so overdue. Zack is rapidly creating what could be a genuine home for millions of people desperate for common sense government. Bravo Zack.

When Pete Hegseth says the strikes on Iran were ‘historically successful’ he actually means ‘in the past when these types of mission were undertaken, they worked.’

Watching the poisonous wotsit doing his White House press conference, and all I’m seeing is him and his entourage spouting bile whilst the journos ask the most inane questions. It’s little wonder the US is sleepwalking into fascism.

Happy Friday. And for no other reason than that, here’s a picture of me dressed as a fox. (Either slightly sozzled, or checking out the local bin situation). #fox #foxesofbluesky #fasnacht #konstanz

The finest wit is to be found on these isles.

Biden's policy was like this: We help you, but only enough to survive, never to weaken Russia too much. Why? Because without the Russian threat Europe doesn't need America. But Trump overplayed his hand. And now Europe is united and rearming.

stoptrump.org.uk/petition-can... << either stop it or make the Orange Twat know exactly how much of a twat he is when he’s here.

I've just signed "Marks & Spencer - stop advertising on GB News" - Will you support the campaign too? actionstorm.org/petitions/ma... @StopFundingHate

Interest in Dirty Donald’s inauguration? Barely noticeable. Volume of posts on here about Dirty Donald’s inauguration? Barely noticeable. I like this place.

Either The Times editorial standards are slipping (further), or the US has been meddling in the sacred dish of my Lancashire homeland. #saveourhotpot

Whilst I’m happily nesting on here, I still need to move my ultra-talented wife’s business profile from the other place. Here’s her RHS Tatton exhibit from this year, in partnership with Endometriosis UK. A stunning, emotional piece of art. #endometriosis #floristry #floraldesign #art

There’s now quite a few ‘x’ sycophants popping up on here to make mischief… but the great thing is they stand out like a throbbing vein on a right winger’s forehead. So easy and satisfying to block.

Thou shalt not let Bluesky be ruined by bigots.

Done…. Please do this and share. It’s a damn important issue.

Oooh tough this. Damien is superb and sits so well alongside Rylance. But Jude Law’s Firebrand performance captures Henry’s decline into a self entitled rotting mass brilliantly. For me it depends on the show, which of Henry’s sides is most needed.

I mean, I’m always up for a win, but on this one it’s more of a ‘do read @cjtudor.bsky.social books’… wonderfully dark and crawlingly creepy.

Remember in Star Wars when Luke respected norms and crushed a very sternly worded letter to Lord Vader and that got him to stop blowing planets up? Yeah, me neither.

Cover design of the 1946 edition of Edward Gibbon's "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" Volumes.

This has seriously got creatives bickering. I’m have to admit it’s a huge departure from Brit heritage brand to fashion label. I think it’s a grower, for Jaguar they’ve either created a moment of genius or gone too far too early.

Me popping back to Twitter to see if it's improved....

Another benefit of being on here is I’ll probably need to post less about politics (said in hope). More time for nice stuff… literature, design, photography etc… so here’s the first. Taken on the Isle of Iona, Scotland. A stunning, atmospheric place.

With this place getting some positive attention, and a focus on misinformation on X, it’s a good time to sign this to push for some sanity online and in the media. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Still a complete newby on here, but already had great interactions, no hate, no forced dribble on a second right wing ‘for you’ feed, only posts I want to reply to because they’re interesting. I feel like I’m on a social holiday.

I will start posting… I promise. But it’s like walking into a brand new book shop where all of the shit books are hidden away in the cellar… So I’m filling my basket with follows.

Well this is refreshing…
