Design Engineer. I was retired and then I wasn't. A reasonable person, therefore on the left of things.

@skywatch.blue please remove me from the "Suspected inauthentic behaviour" list. There's nothing remotely botlike about my behaviour, other than I use the same hashtag repeatedly, warning people about scammers, in an attempt to get them removed.

Orlin Roussev, Biser Dzhambazov and Katrin Ivanova, three Bulgarians all now convicted of spying for Russia, were present at a Brexit debate in a House of Commons committee room in May 2016. They. Knew. What. They. Were. Spying. For. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A day after Russia committed war crimes in Ukraine, and Trump is again attacking Zelenskyy – sounding indistinguishable from a commentator on Russian state TV. And repeating the Kremlin lie that Ukraine started this war. Trump casts shame on himself and our country.
Trump has fully turned on Zelenskyy: "He's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles."

Absolutely damning. Seems that the British government made not attempt to find out if the Russians had interfered in the EU Brexit referendum.
In case you missed it ... Here's a damning verdict from the Intelligence & Security Committee regarding Boris Johnson's half-baked report into Russian interference in the Brexit ref. Basically, they didn't even bother looking for any! Surely now it's time for a public enquiry into Putin's Brexit!

I don't really get why anyone listens to the Today programme anymore, for precisely this reason. It's not biased really, it's just hopelessly glib and superficial. You learn very little.
Find Justin Webb on Today on Radio 4 completely unlistenable when it comes to the US: glib, ill-informed and opinionated is the worst possible combination in this moment

“there are Neville Chamberlain’s in every generation” George Monbiot’s takedown of Matt Goodwin and the Reform party is a thing of beauty 👏 #bbcqt
