Usually cycling the Northern Fells or the hills around Paphos. An asylum seeker from Twitter & Brexit - likely to go off on a tangent for no reason at all........ I'm not an Expat I'm an immigrant & grateful for being accepted by my adopted home

AI & Robotics... They may not take YOUR job... but they'll take your kids & Grand Childrens... We're facing a world where there will be less & less options for the masses, probably a shrinking population... Higher & higher profits & wages for the few... If you don't tax them to the max & don't
