New followers, If I haven't followed back it'll probably be for one of these reasons;
1. I haven't got around to it yet.
2. You haven't posted much or at all so I can't see what you're like yet.
3. We're not really on the same wavelength or our interests differ.

When 97% is 'no clear consensus', and 52% is 'the will of the people', it's time to face facts that Governments do what Governments want to do regardless of what their people actually want.

If ever there was a photo which illustrates why generative AI is so utterly shallow and meaningless it is this one.
‘Simon Being Taken out to Sea for the First Time since His Father Drowned’, Skinningrove, North Yorkshire in 1983 by Chris Killip. It became a weekly ritual for him, done to prevent him becoming afraid of the sea as that is where the community earned their living.

Eddie usually learns as he goes along, needs a bit extra learning at the minute, mind. The recruitment also (at the minute) is looking at its worst since the new regime took over and was an area we did well in up till now.

Sadly, too many people who say “I support the royal family” actually mean “I’m too lazy to think about the implications of one family amassing billions of pounds in wealth, in secret, at the expense of me and every other tax paying citizen.”

Huge undersea wall dating from 5000 BC found in France
The 120 metre wall was either a fish-trap or a dyke for protection against rising sea-levels, archeologists believe.

Most bonkers part of the story for me is that the Murdoch money was donated via News International (now News UK) - owner of The Times, The Sun, TalkTV etc.
In other words, a media company donating to a political pressure group.
And these same outlets have the gall to whinge about BBC “bias”
