Courage Doesn’t Scale
It has been frustrating, to say the least, to watch many of the big Silicon Valley tech firms bow down to Trump and do his bidding, especially when it directly contradicts things they’ve said and done in the past. I’ve tried to explain to tech company execs why this doesn’t…

There are seven British business men who have surrounded me at the airport gate who are talking loudly think they have invented a word “comfortability”… do I tell them? They also refused to move for someone in a wheelchair disembarking from the plane

If you watch the movie Vice this will also be your conclusion: the idea that Trumpism came out of nowhere and is a great exception is comforting but completely wrong. It has been a long time coming on the right and will take a lot to reverse. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/o...

Walking around a shopping centre today and thought I recognised my Yr 6 teacher and my sister said I was insane as she would be dead. I walked up to her asked if her last name was Stapleton and she said “why yes”…anyway it’s been 39 years since I saw her and she is now 84 and my brain’s still got it

The abuser formal known as Prince
This is an absolutely devastating statement for Andrew.
Leaves him in shambles.

BREAKING
Prince Andrew will no longer be a Prince of the United Kingdom.
In an extraordinary move, Buckingham Palace has announced that the King is stripping him of that style.
Presumably, he will now be known as Andrew Windsor.
The Palace also stated he has been ordered to leave Royal Lodge.
