Pompey, hantscricket, bikes and boats. Knows a bit about planning. Back in God's own county.
Not sure why the tourist tax was headline on BBCPM but the debate heavily influenced by the Westminster establishment / BBC view that those provincial types couldn't be trusted to make the decisions. Patronising and wrong. Devolution is the way forward. The deadhand of the treasury needs to go
Feel bit sorry for prince george. Being taken to school by mummy and daddy at age 13 is humiliating. At that age id spent 5 years catching the bus to school in Portsmouth. You can dislike the monarchy as archaic and pointless and feel sympathy for their lack of freedom
Annoyed by hampshire council reorgan. being cancelled/delayed. Torys playing games and some posh parishes playing games An easier alternative? North hants unitary (b and d, hart and r'moor) Leave pmouth and soton IoW as is Unitary covering rest. Need mechanism for strategic planning in south
BBC News - Harry and Meghan 'surprised' by King's letter making clear they remain non-working royals www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... the evidence is pretty clear that the Royal Family are running a vindictive campaign against Harry/Meghan.
Harry and Meghan 'surprised' by King's letter making clear they remain non-working royals
A spokesman says they were not told in advance about the letter sent on behalf of the king, although palace sources deny this.

BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm... Officers injured and vehicles damaged in Portsmouth small boats protest, police say - BBC News. Strange BBC World at One didn't mention this but had time to give 8 minutes to a local racist.
Officers injured and vehicles damaged in Portsmouth small boats protest, police say
Hundreds of protesters blocked roads in Portsmouth last night, after 140 migrants arrived via a dinghy. It comes after a similar protest in Dover on Saturday.

This is funny to me every time I think about it. Prob because I love bike riding. 🚴♂️
After Zia Yusuf's demented rantings yesterday at the Reform children's party yesterday any surprise a bunch of balaclava sundries turn up at Dover to protest.
So, if I understand Nigel Farage's argument correctly it is: "Everyone I trusted and elevated into a position of responsibility is constantly doing crimes that benefit me but of which I somehow have no knowledge. I am a man with the character, judgement, and intelligence to run the country." Ok.
"Dear Diary, Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck bollocks"
I recall chatting to a guy a couple of years back who did the prostate test at Fratton Park, they found he had early stages of cancer. Treated easily with pills because it was caught early. Best save Alan Knight ever made? Get yourselves checked #pompey
Dipped briefly into baseball on #bbc. Apparently new york Yankees against Boston red sox is biggest sporting rivalry in world sport. American exceptionalism writ large. Biggest game in baseball... a game hardly anyone outside USA watches or cares about.
Bbcnews at six giving priority to shouty Badenoch and sulky Farage. Predictable and tedious
Football fans can be a soppy lot. But I am genuinely upset at the loss of Alan Knight. A lovely unassuming guy who dedicated his life to #pompey.
Purbeck Folk festival. Day 2 with my number 2. Always a great few days. This camping lark is not without challenge. Too close to the ground.

Lee Anderson on #bbcradio4. An intellectual colossus.
Today is #Playday2026! The theme this year is “Play - here, there, everywhere”. All children and teenagers have the right to time, space and freedom to play – here, there and everywhere.
It's funny because MPs lives became unsafe around the same time as Nigel Farage entered the political arena on a platform of racism and hate. I wonder if there's a connection
Predicting a win again Switzerland then a finals won against Spain. #Worldcup

“Language matters here. Every time the word “e-bike” is attached to these machines, a legal, healthy and increasingly important form of transport takes the blame for the behaviour of people riding illegal motorbikes."
