I liked Ash Regean.

I wrote a piece on Medium about Roald Dahl's books being edited for modern times. I fucking hate this world sometimes.

Roald Dahl’s Being Edited Off His Own Pages - Sylvia - Medium

An excellent piece by Jared Brock on Medium. The UK is over a barrel but we must not give up the fight.

People from other parts of the world mention her to me frequently, and always with a clear reflection of what are obviously genuinely the woman's values, you don't get to say that about many politicians tbqh

The public wouldn't have got rid of ye hen

Oh Nicola, we will miss your firm hand on the wheel. I am sorry to see you resign. Scotland has benefited from your leadership and you are appreciated.

A wipeout of the Tories at the next GE would spur other politicians to mellow their R/W extremist stance,
Tory voters will never vote labour but a significant number going to the Lib Dems /Greens would maybe result in no definitive result leading to a government of Confidence and Supply.
Coalitions are never well received in the UK but a loose agreement on each policy and a joint manifesto may be acceptable.
The UK needs to press the reset button and return to real Democracy.
