‘A country that diddled its own economy and rabble-roused its way to global irrelevance.’ The UK as seen by US drama in ‘The Diplomat’. Hard to argue with that analysis.

I’m just remembering comments from them at the time. But may be mistaken.

They supported the Brexit campaign iirc, so I wouldn’t look to their management for anything other than 🐂 💩.

Where was badenoch when Johnson broke the law
When Chancellor Zahawi avoided tax and was fined a quarter of million £
When Jeremy Hunt forgot he owned 12 flats but didn’t declare them

Etc etc etc

Hugs to you. I hate that moment. Sailings outside the school holidays are often blissfully quiet. X

Who in this country can be in any doubt that Brexit has been a disaster?
Why then is this Labour government so determined to do nothing about it? Brexit now belongs to them and it will be their downfall.

The winner of the Dutch elections & leader of D66, a socially liberal & progressive political party in the Netherlands. He's right. No government, from Starmer to Merz, has any reason or excuse now to echo, out-do, or appease the far-right. Drop right-wing populism & focus on your own policies.

We sail only rarely now and although I miss the Normandie & Mont Saint Michel I still prefer Brittany Ferries to the competition. The food is better and so is the safety.

There was no ‘better deal’. Not outside of retaining full EU membership. Thanks Dan.

I like them - you can get a plastic bottle. You add water & shake. Good for the camper.

There was no good deal.
The least bad deal would have been to retain our place in SM & CU. Doing that would have underlined how pointless Brexit was; so they didn't

Our Churchyard has been doing top business all week and looks very colourful. I love them and often wish I had the nerve to put them in the house. X

Good morning all. Sister on her way. She is alone in the Commodore lounge and must deal with a massive breakfast buffet alone. Some people have all the luck! I meanwhile will crack on with a less interesting bowl of honeyed porridge. Off to the port after lunch. Have a great weekend all. X

You’ve probably scratched it slightly. Just a few epithelial cells and it feels like there’s a bloody log in there and rubbing or trying to get it out makes it worse. Specsavers will use an instrument to check the surface and be able to recommend further treatment if needed. Good luck. X

If Prince Andrew used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail.

If Bill Clinton used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail.

If Donald Trump used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail.

That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

Good morning. No porridge oats either? You need an emergency pack of instant pancake mix for next time. Yum. 😋

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...
