Nantes remaining ahead of the curve.

“Faced with the rise of racism in our society, I felt a responsibility not to let this past be erased.”

FWIW, my take on all of this is that it was a fait accompli before the vetting was done, and that Robbins decided that he had no choice but to go along with the PM's decision. I strongly suspect that Robbins did tell no 10 that Mandy failed the DV, but did so verbally rather than in writing.

Thank you so much! ❤️

I reckon this is right and should be borne in mind if they try and pull a J6 on the Hungarian election result tomorrow. There's not much machinery whirring away behind all the social media shouting to actually make the things they want happen.

“Trump lost this war in every possible sense – morally, legally, politically, economically, reputationally, and strategically”, suggested Timothy Snyder, a historian of authoritarianism, echoing the views of many experts.

From the Guardian today. Sums it up pretty much perfectly.

Kurt Russell as Snake Plisken dropping the line "Get a new president."

Once again, Snake Plisken is on point.

I'm not sure I want to be a Bastian of strength.

It really must not be forgotten that the reason Greenland did not happen is because the Europeans made it very clear they would shoot back.

But just imagine the blockbusters to come, where the United States has to be rescued from their president...

You could always move everything you buy from one container to another.

You know.

Decant all in the Cantal.

I'll get my coat...

That's a wee bit of a drive for some green curry paste!

Well apparently now we need to set up a France-wide Anglophone writers' group...

I left Toulouse (well, Plaisance du Touch precisely) last summer after 8.5 years!

This is genius! Sold!

Ah, so the group is a physical meet up group in Nantes! But give us a shout when you're coming that way for a meet up!

With pleasure. Are you in the Nantes area?

That's sort of the idea! Drop me a PM and I'll put you in contact with Power Strangers and keep you in the loop for a writer meet up - probably in April now with my schedule!

No worries. Are you part of Power Strangers? It's a top notch group for anglophones.

I might also be setting up a British language writer's group with another journalist/non fiction writer and a historical fantasy author who both live here at some point too, if you'd be interested in joining!

I can also highly recommend Asian et Caraïbes just up from Saint Thérèse in Nantes for all your more hard to get Asian products and veg.

But yep, Grand Frais. It's big and fresh.

Does exactly what it says on the tin...

That DJ name isn't going to work quite as well in the UK as it does in France...

The 'Make Toes Uncomfortable Again' crowd at work once more!

People who tuck duvets in when making up beds are part of some terrible, wide-ranging conspiracy, I'm convinced of it.

Now I just need to work out which one.

Any ideas?

We turned away from the light when we invented a way to go online without the computer screaming in warning.

Woman with black eye and tape over her mouth that says SPEAK

I asked for protection from my abuser & was told I had no proof. He made false claim about my miscarriage & I was arrested--also without proof.
True story of being silenced by justice.
