TBH after the work she's done on Cambridge Analytica and Brexit I realise I'm biased, though I hope she isn't. You're right there's little I can find, but she's got to be aware Putin is directly behind fomenting transphobia.

I had to look it up and I agree it looks questionable. Not sure she doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt though. Has she got previous?

Very much looking forward to a new season of #BBCTheTraitors on New Year's Day. Finger licking telly.
Though that's also just 5 days afore #USATheTraitor gets a vote count and - nevermind the antics in 2021 - keys to the presidency.

This meme is in jest of course, but I'm befuddled why a schism between two branches of Plantagenet Norman gentry stays somewhat relevant in dividing the North of England.

Right, that's me done with Facebook. It's gone too far with all the middle-class twerps on there.

Sorry, slating got auto-corrected to skating. If the 78 year old Tom Bower had written this book while skating across the Weissensee that feat might've earned him some respect. Unfortunately however, Bower doesn't enjoy a blade under his shoes. He instead enjoys a few hatchets in his study.

I might first need to qualify that I'm really a leftwinger. I'm a member of a trade union and of the Greens. My politics aren't near any centre, though I try to avoid any dogma. Hence also my stoic agnosticism. Basically, I'm definitely not a centrist or of the right.
