As red flags go, it doesn’t get any redder or in your face than this.

All politicians, commentators and organisations who care about our democracy should heed the warning, call it out and then *do something* about it.

First stop. Leave X.

Musk has in recent months switched his support from Nigel Farage's rightwing populist Reform UK party to the far-right movement led by Robinson.
Musk appeared via video link at a
"Unite the Kingdom" rally in London organised by Robinson last month, and the Tesla chief executive predicted that
"violence is going to come" to the UK
"whether you choose violence or not" and told Britons to "fight back - or you die".
After the first day of the trial before Westminster magistrates, which is expected to last two days, Robinson posted on X: "A huge thank you to Elon Musk today. Legend."

Nipped down to check on my spuds, to find next-door’s cat is taking care of them for me.

A black and white cat is lying in a Vegepod full of compost, with a bag of almost-ready-to-pick potatoes behind him.

Nope, because I’ve never watched the non-celebrity version and I’m honestly not interested. Not in a snobby sort of way either, you fill yer boots if you like it. I’ll just go back to my book.

This could be a long and rambling thread. Be patient with me.

I bought an old mahogany bureau on Ebay. I didn't really want a bureau as we're meant to be downsizing, but it was a beautiful piece & obviously very old. Google lens suggests the brass chased handles are Queen Anne. That's 1702-1714 😯
