That Santa Claus is not real comes to us all eventually. Brexit had already made this country a laughing stock, now we have a government that broke the laws they made, lied about it, said the PM tells the truth, then says it does not matter as it is fluff?, and oh, etc.etc. etc. What an example to set to our children.

cutting your lawn. My neighbour was spraying something obnoxious on dandelions on her lawn yesterday? Why? Does she not like the colour yellow? And a week ago both neighbours cut their lawns. The grass areas are not big enough for cricket or croquet. To be fair one does use his lawn for a tent occasionally or parking. 26 million homes in the UK (I think) – so maybe 10 million lawns (but front and back?) perhaps 15-20 million lawns, where people mow every fortnight (energy used?), and flowers are not allowed to produce nectar for insects. To quote “Frozen” – “Let it go, let it go”.

BUT I do criticise Israel and especially its policies towards Palestine. And I note that any criticism of Ukraine and its right wing policies and the Azov regiment is also seen to be anti-Semitic due to President Zelenski being Jewish. As far as I see it, religion has nothing to do with it – it is the policies and decisions. Democratic free speech based on facts not dogma or hyperbole or political bias.

We need to do more. The main part of Tory net zero seems to be to price energy costs out of the range of most people!

Oil terminals blocked together with 2 London Bridges. It is sad that democracy in this country has collapsed to the extent that extreme action is needed. The longer the government ignores the responsibility it has for the environment and climate change – the more people will take action.

The arrogance they have due to their Parliamentary majority will possibly lead to more demonstrations and escalation. Well done Just Stop Oil!

Projected results show Macron and le Penn in a runoff for president. Macron 28.5%, LePen 23.6%, Melenchon 20.3% and Zemmour 7%. Almost certainly the right wing voters for Zemmour will vote LePen, will the left wing voters of Melenchon vote for Macron? It could be close.

A need for honesty. War is horrible. Russian shelling of civilians is horrific, but so is the evidence of Ukrainian troops executing Russian prisoners. Can all press outlets be honest – murder is murder.

It seems Labour has not done very well. How is this possible with such a corrupt useless government? I know there are local issues and amazing candidates who will sway results. But Labour should be very worried. I thought Starmer would be ok – I was wrong. Angela Rayner should take over immediately.

I would rather cut my hand off than vote for the nasty party. However there is now a dilemma, Starmer has taken the Labour Party to the right of some conservatives in his pursuit of victory in a general election. Would I rather a Starmer government than a Johnson/Sunak one? Of course, but we do not live in a bi-polar world where it is either / or. I have voted LibDem in the past in constituencies where labour stood no chance.
