@EliModnar on Twitter/X 15/04/13-18/11/24. On Mastodon, but mostly post here. Rather sweary existentialist, lefty, egalitarian. Misanthrope. Cynic. Rejoiner. Geek & gamer. Give me something to sing about. #RefugeesWelcome #StopBurningStuff

Post Brexit, the UK is desperate for any trade partner.

Brexit damaged and continues to damage the UK.

We can't call China an enemy, even though it's clear to everybody it is.

We depend on China too much to fall out with them.

We only have to look at Hong Kong to know that China is an enemy.

Unfortunately, we depend on China for everyday life.

Autocorrect usually thinks I don't give a duck but it can't pick up on us instead of is.

So much for AI. ;-)

This needs to be shouted from the roof tops.

The rate and severity of wild fires is increasing as the global temperature increases.

What we can't do anything about us volcanoes.

The wildfires, or at least the number and extent of wildfires, are also a result of human CO2 emissions. It's a form of positive feedback, and we should be deeply concerned by it, rather than blithely writing it off as not our fault.

Also, there can be no negotiating or reasoning with people who deny my right to exist.

A cynic would think the vets and the insurance companies are in collusion...

Is this late capitalism? 🤔

May be, but pet insurance is a con too. Even lifetime insurance the premium goes up along with the excess. Excess ends up being £10 less than the vet bill. Insurance then doesn't cover majority of vet visits, if you claim your £10 for each visit the premium goes up even more.

We've had dogs and cats for 30 years. Vet prices have increased astronomically.

Vets publishing prices won't drive competition. It'll let vets operate a cartel. Price fixing.

*Institute 🤦

Being charged when the Tories were in government is meaningless if there isn't the evidence to later go to trial.

Badenoch's comment fails any logical thinking.

Government should probably look at Matthew Elliott's (he of Vote Leave, Taxpayer's Alliance and Legatum Insitute) Westminster Russia Forum, formerly known as Conservative Friends of Russia.

As well as Matthew Elliott himself?

Aren't we giving secrets to the Americans via five eyes?

With the Trump regime in control and America rapidly becoming Trumpistan, the UK and others should reconsider information sharing with America.

The West running Gaza (and eventually Palestinian state) is just more oppression. It will be as appealing to Palestinians as having their given away for a Jewish state. As appealing as Israel continuing to steal their land. As the Israel occupation and blockade of Gaza and the West Bank.

Listened to the bit about post office.

Our post is crap and has been for months. We get one delivery a week on a Saturday morning. Initially I checked with our neighbours and they're the same. Really poor service. Privatisation failed again.

I hate that place.

We'd go to the one at Newton Abbott in Devon when I was a kid. I thought it was amazing. This was before the internet and online shopping and Amazon. Now it's just a big shitty pound shop. I hope it burns down. Again.
