No. Not really. The police came down like a tonne of bricks on women holding a peaceful vigil for Sarah Everard, the victim, back in March: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/mar/13/as-the-sun-set-they-came-in-solidarity-and-to-pay-tribute-to-sarah-everard Also, last week, to test...

Britain? Starvation island, more like.

Not a bad blog piece… Notes how the UK government have switched within the last week from denying there are shortages to now saying shortages are a sign of how Brexit is ‘working’ as it was always meant to. (The Tories have also fully adopted the Labour Party’s scapegoating of EU citizens as...

Tory MPs are on the TV claiming that all of Europe has the same goods and fuels shortages as the UK, but “much worse”, and the supposed journalists never challenge or question the politicians. Pure propaganda.

Only just twigged while watching the third episode that Transformers was influenced by the concept of Trantor, the planet-wide cityscape, and before Star Wars did it (well, on-screen anyway).

Unfortunately, there’s no-one with any power on our side. Labour is just as pro-Brexit as the Tories now, and basically have become nationalistic conservatives, they blamed the fuel crisis on having been in the EU (plus the unions that fund Labour don’t want freedom of movement and workers from...

Sorry about that. Really feel bad (even as a 100% Remain voter) about how the island of Ireland is being affected by all of this, while Ireland didn’t want or vote for it.

Preliminary results:

Translated: the SPD candidate won the seat vacated by Angela Merkel, rather than her own CDU party.

Federal exit polls:

Every shop I passed this morning had similar signs outside (notice that they skirted around mentioning the B-word): Translation: “Some of our products are unavailable from our manufacturer” – we can’t get the products because we’re now outside the European Economic Area and customs union, and...

Roads were clogged around my area yesterday as so many people were panic-buying petrol. As this journo points out, the opposition political parties and most of the media (the BBC in particular) won’t even mention that Brexit is a negative thing causing these problem, as it’s not the...

We also have: a shortage of CO2 as used in food and drink production. As a knock-on effect of all the Brexit supply chain jive.

Well, I’ll give you that it’s been a mixed bag in Generations recently, harking back to how it was before the CW/TR/PotP trilogy, and thankfully looks like it’ll continue being so next year! (It’s just being a big BW fan, I was annoyed by its absence for so long. Even a year or so ago I...

Quickly: I’m pleased that we’re getting Beast Wars characters in the next incarnation of Generations. I’m a bit worn out with G1 characters getting their 73rd action figure, personally.

Bought Dracodon, because he’s Beast Warsian and has a “zombified Yoshi” look to him in photos which I think is cool. Unfortunately, he’s misassembled, and can’t transform into beast mode. And I can’t find a replacement. Bah to QC issues.

Ah, that’s actually incorrect information on Wikipedia, as one of the other channels on the Sky service at the time broadcast Transformers rather than Sky One. But that’s Wikipedia, unfortunately.

Petrol (gasoline) shortage crisis mounts (due to Brexit): Food and goods shortages building (due to logistics crisis caused by Brexit, and already very visible where I live): Surging prices of natural gas used for heating (due to leaving the single European energy market and the ongoing...

Nah. It’s deliberate culture wars jive. Tory MPs are making it a point not to wear masks.
