You do get the feeling in the current environment that if your job can be replaced by AI, or you disagree with that principle, then you are surplus to requirements and therefore, expendable. Likely put in a warehouse with one toilet between 50 people and minimum food, as we see in US for migrants.

I still have an issue with the UK print media supporting Putin. That just doesn’t seem right to me.

I sort of feel sorry for Starmer - how could he have ever anticipated having to deal with a kleptocratic psychopath ?

The thing about civil war is that it continues for generations ( see NI) because everyone has a relative who is a victim.

Farage doesn’t really have any moral principles. He is more interested in more for me principles.

Badenoch always comes across as a juvenile - not someone who is in anyway a political leader - just a nasty, aggressive bottom feeder.

Just a reminder that there are two Political Parties in the UK who are in thrall to a felon and an adjudicated rapist in the US.

I would recommend Crypto for all these AI disaster… err Capitalists. That will sort the men from the boys and those hiding under the bed.

There’s a sort of joy on a day like this - have wiped down the hob and cleaned the bathroom. For some reason there were dead ladybird bodies on the window sill. All gone now and everything looks ok.

The awning is out today. Lamb in slow cooker. Foot gradually improving.

Thing to remember about Farage is he was a City trader - he always follows the money. It’s ingrained - wants to be top grifter. Similar to Trump who wants to be top mafia boss.

Elections are about options not necessarily about ideals. Failure to inform voters about the options is a hiding to nowhere.

63% of Britons have a negative view of the United States' ICE agency, as Reform UK announces it would create a British equivalent to carry out proposals to deport hundreds of thousands migrants per year Negative: 63% Neither: 8% Positive: 11% yougov.co.uk/topics/polit...

You can’t run a World order with the likes of Trump. Nobody wants his version of that - inevitably Countries will bypass the US. He will probably get bogged down in some Middle East war and lose.

A reminder - Farage is mentioned in the Epstein files more than 40 times because of his associations.

Oddly- the Right wing loonies might be better to vote for Badenoch than Farage. It’s a low bar granted but at least she isn’t advocating getting rid of the NHS or … well I can’t think of an or … because there aren’t any.

Farage is in the Maldives. 200 miles away from the Chagos Islands which are not a tourist destination. Hasn't got the paperwork and wasn't on the 'aid boat' he's pointing at which is trying to establish a settlement for four people on the islands. How is this serving Clacton? Who paid?

The EV is still looking good - I had to tax it for the year but that’s fair. It costs next to nothing to charge albeit that I had to pay for the charging unit. It’s so quiet and has all the bells and whistles. Would recommend an EV can’t really think of a downside.

Anyway - tomorrow’s dinner is meat pie.

I guess Starmer has to acknowledge that he tried with Trump.

It turns out Andrew Mountbatten- Windsor was a one day wonder.

Ok - I just want to talk objectively about the word “cunt”. In the UK it is a derogatory term for a woman’s vagina. Personally I don’t actually believe there are any such things as bad words - they only exist because of the connotation and the derogatory intent. In usage it is beyond acceptable.

Europe calling - don’t try to shaft us Trump. We see you and Putin !

You would think by now the rats would probably have realised it might be in their best interest to desert the sinking ship. Let’s say 100 to 500 are implicated - it’s still a good bet to distance oneself from the impending disaster.

Today feels a bit Spring like …

Trump seems to be getting towards the end of his rope. He has always had limited options, although very destructive ones.

Starmer’s real leadership crisis. New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog. Fatuous media coverage aside, Starmer’s challenge is to make good on his claim that Britain isn’t the country of the Brexit years in the face of rising ethno-nationalism: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/star...

Labour needs to learn the lesson of always approach politics with clean hands.

I have no idea - but can a Reform voter be persuaded that it is not in their economic interest to vote for Reform, or is it their pernicious desire to remove “ people arriving on small boats” that will override their access to free healthcare, their pension, their rights, their cost of living etc?

On a different tack - all washing done, sheets, lights and darks. shopping done. EV plugged in - might do some cleaning tomorrow although it’s not bad. My nemesis is putting away clothes and not just dumping them in spare bedroom.

I am not an Economist but I don’t think it would take more than five minutes to dispel fascism as a “ going concern “. It’s obvious that it is a medieval approach to society. Couple that with the “ Hand Maiden” gibberish and the lack of any scientific knowledge, or even current science. Madness !

I still can’t get my head around the majority of the UK Media supporting Farage and Putin/ Trump.

Personally, I don’t want to descend into Farage’s greedy medieval fascism - supporting Putin and Trump. I think the UK, Europe, Canada, Australia, South America etc. can see these clowns into oblivion.

Occasionally - you get people responding to you, who try to claim Brexit was a good idea. I just block them. I have concluded it’s not possible to engage with people who are delusional.

If Trump thinks Europe is just going to stand by and become a Soviet satellite - he is off his trolley.

There is only one message that Labour, Greens and Lib Dems need to make and that is the absolute brutality of cuts to public services that Reform espouse, in order to make their millionaire and billionaire mates more money.

Labour must grasp the nettle and get rid of these toxic politicians - such as Gove in the HOL. Everyone is fed up to the back teeth of sleazy scum bags in politics who are only interested in enriching themselves.

You can understand the appeal of the Greens because they are not mired in World Politics.

It really is time to educate the masses - otherwise the planet is doomed.

If the ultra rich think that fascism is the answer - then they are seriously deluded.

I don’t feel the world currently has the luxury of of listening to to the unhinged.

Trump is set on destroying the World because he is a psychopath - wake up World.

What is it about Oligarchs and yachts ? Escapism ? It’s like watching “ Below deck” - hmmm ! How absurd.

I think we have to accept that our future currently is in the hands of the Oligarchs, who by and large seem to be white supremacists who like owning yachts. They seem to want to incarcerate anyone of colour and any dissidents, also they don’t seem to like women and want them to have no vote.

We have seen the Oligarchs answer to the future and it has been wanting on every level. Let’s forge another way that respects the planet and its people.

I think - at the moment it’s important to consider where the US is headed. Why are ICE secretly buying these warehouses and are they intending to use them to ensconce all other ethnicities and dissidents ? That seems to be their Project 2025.

The President of the United States of America⬇️⬇️ UNBELIEVABLE!

On a different tack - should I worry about the car automatically braking to the required stopping distance? Not my car by the way - I am a backseat driver.
