Interested in many things, but master of none. Blow in gratefully living in Ireland. Fed up of lunatic billionaires trashing the world. Somewhat left of centre these days. Rubbish at writing profiles. I'm probably not going to answer DMs unless I know you

Just curious - I presume the Capitol building is not federal property, and that the people he pardoned for damaging it would not be relevant to this particular communication?

Unknown who to credit for this, but raised a chuckle.

If you care about the future of the NHS & you see this on Boxing Day, please could you share this?

If we want privatisation to be removed from the NHS, NHS campaigners like me have a *lot* of work to do next year and…I’d just like to see if people care enough about this for our campaigning to work…

All The President's Men Rupert Murdoch, Jeff Bezos & why press ownership matters.

Why did Jeff Bezos appoint Rupert Murdoch's right-hand man to the top job at Washington Post? To do his bidding. And when he did journalists & readers rebelled.

This week, I write about a parallel revolt inside the Guardian & Observer & why press ownership matters

Well this is a surprise. Never seen this much snow since I moved to County Mayo. This is a view of the trees bordering my garden taken this morning.

I've always wondered why Slough doesn't rhyme with enough, even though this is what many people seem to have had of it. And don't get me started on though.....
