I’ve moved across to where the sky is bluer. My single act will make no difference, I have few followers, but this platform has become a place of propaganda and disrespect and I wish no further part.

As the wondrous Bob Mortimer is trending, I thought I'd share this quote from his autobiography.
'I've always thought that the two most unselfish things you can do in life are to turn up on time and to be quiet around a house when someone else is sleeping.'
He's not wrong ❤️
Absolutely loving @marksandspencer Fiery Hot Chicken Tikka Masala! It’s so good!!🔥
Which just goes to prove that the rain in Spain falls mainly in the planes. 😂😂

Politico: "Prime Minister, the King has been at #COP28 for two days & other world leaders are staying into the weekend. You've been here for a matter of hours & you're due to leave again imminently. You've spent more time on a private plane, than on the ground at the summit .. "
Honestly, what is up with @amazonuk delivery! Parcels left on the front step on a busy street and don't even bother knocking?? Can't trust them with anything valuable so I'm afraid they have lost my Christmas business.

❌ Removing laws that protect fragile wild places from nutrient pollution is VERY BAD news for rivers. This is not scaremongering – the Government’s own environmental watchdog says so 🧵 (1/5)
Proposed changes to the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill will reduce the level of environmental protection provided for in law and amount to a regression, the OEP is warning. Find out more: bit.ly/45ABnj1
ALT Quote from Dame Glenys Stacey: "The proposed changes would demonstrably reduce the level of environmental protection provided for in existing environmental law. The Government has not adequately explained how, alongside such weakening of environmental law, new policy measures will ensure it still meets its objectives for water quality and protected site condition."

I am sure some will not agree with me, I am embarrassed in how we treat people sometimes, lack of compassion, lack of common humanity, we can and must do better than this

Went to see #Oppenheimer this afternoon. Loved it! Not sure what to make of the 15 certificate warning “Contains Language, Sex”. No mention of the killing of tens of thousands of people though??

I honestly don’t think I have ever felt so let down by this country than the systems that allow this disgrace of an honours list without challenge. #unmeritocracy #honourslist
Me too!
