Jumping back into #Angular after about 3 years, an old side project I was working on, and abandoned. Updated it to Angular 19, it's slowly coming back to me, but struggling a little bit with the #NgRx/data stuff that I'd set up.

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious As an ex English immigrant to Scotland, life in Scotland is better and fairer

FWIW I am lucky enough to (just) be in the higher tax band. And I am proud to pay it. I knew I would be in that band before we emigrated

My council tax on a 3 bed in Cambridgeshire was more than my council tax on a 4 bed in Scotland. And it includes water up here

The tories are riled. They know Scotland is heading towards independence and they are finding anything to show "Scotland bad"

I think it's time the other NATO countries seriously upped their defence spending, because it looks like we have potential invaders on both sides. Maybe also time to look at removing some of those US bases in our countries.

And Trump and J. D. Vance are playing a medley from Hitler's hymn book, at ever-increasing volume.

You know how this ends—if you let it.
