About 30% of my trains to work recently have been affected by faults of one sort or another on the train set. They have a fleet of new trains but I’ve only sat on one of them. On their busiest line. #southwesternrailway

Was just asked why I don’t appear in competitions for my photography. Well,I’ve been ignored for every 1 I’ve entered in the last 30 yrs. Not sure how much better I have to get though, especially when I see stuff I see online. You get past caring too much but it narks a bit when asked. #photography

Just listening to Anthology 4 & it’s remarkable that it sounds like you’re in the studio with them. It’s a coda to the rock era in the way it brings to life the roots of it. It also marks the point at which we finally switch from human to the artificial.

At the end of this interview Kruger talks being liberal in context against Islam yet earlier he is keen to dictate what women can or can’t do with their bodies.

‘America is British’. Heaven is ‘a socialist state’. David Attenborough is ‘anti-human’ – the startling theories of Reform MP Danny Kruger — The Guardian
He was a Conservative party big-hitter who wrote speeches for David Cameron and worked with Boris Johnson before he suddenly jumped ship. He talks family, flags and why Nigel Farage is ‘top dog’

You know when cyclists (and I am one) put you on block lists etc when you have a go at them ignoring rules… basically they don’t like being pointed out that it’s antisocial behaviour. Look at these numbers and these are so called “professional people.”

As a man who suffered with extreme health issues, has been homeless, lost a parent as a child and struggled to have children i can honestly say I had not a scintilla of support from any group, government agency or charity. #InternationalMensDay

It’s #InternationalMensDay remember that most men get a raw deal. Which is why so many commit the S. The men who have all the privilege are the successful wealthy ones. This is a class war not a sex and gender one.
