- a gem of a myth.

Nigel Farage Has Personally Accepted £675,000 from Foreign Sources Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has accepted more than half a million pounds from foreign companies, governments, and donors while serving as an MP, DeSmog can reveal. Since July 2024, when he was elect...

“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves”

It’s so obvious, it hurts.

Diver's film of #undersea homes
imagination blooms
in nightmare of drowned lives

Undersea Oversea is all about the braille of waves: frantically written by an unpenned wind; undersea is more sullen, where slow serpentine currents can stretch to bridge whole continents; its also where eventually even light wordlessly drowns.

Hullo #vss365 and to #undersea #poetry

The Holy Man's #investiture heralded a new dawn.
He spoke the real #truth, revealing the #trickery behind fake assassinations and futile wars.
The world held its breath, hoping for a change, hoping for peace.

Mother's day gift from granddaughter - a book of crochet patterns. She wanted a cushion cover with a sloth. The other squares contain a pig, lion, sheep & highland cow, making use of a special #loop stitch. Delight is too mild a #word!

Trump as Jesus. He posted this on Truth Social

How are we to take seriously a religious movement that is furious about Trump’s blasphemous AI jesus post but totally chill with all the pedophilia, all the genocide, all the fascism, all the extra judicial murders, all the ecocide, all the rape and blackmail?

Oh yes!

Love #letters from the past
burnt before my wedding day
become ashes of regret

Good one!

It's been one of those days -
First, my g/daughter planted potatoes & flooded them with #water - they may grow!
The tap on the #water butt sprang a leak
Then my kitchen radiator started dripping.
I hope the next prompt is 'win'.

You mean like… an “Iran Deal”? Like the one y’all tore up? Kind of like that?

Went to a fair with my daughter
She was gone before I could blink -
A thousand people spread over a field
I actually felt my heart #sink -
As I yelled her name she grabbed my hand,
'I'm here, Mum, where did you think?'

#vss365
I was planning to write, but I've been #blind-sided by a friend's need for a cuppa. So I made cake instead - lemon Swiss roll.

#vss365

I worked in a #bank in my twenties
In those days there were four to a town,
But when I got married I had to resign
And apply again. Yes, you may frown,
But that was the situation back then -
Different rules for women and men.

Happy birthday 🎈

America! He's got to go-
We've waited far too long.
He's caused the deaths of thousands
Abroad as well as home.
Surely there are enough of you
To end this nightmare now?
The #sands of time are running out,
So stop DT's sh$t show!

Complicity is complicity.

I bought a pen at the charity shop
In a hurry, so I didn't spot
That it came with a proper nib -
A ball-point it was not!

When I put pen to paper
My script looked so good
That I'll have to buy #ink
As my writing's improved!

Today was too beautiful to waste sitting at home so, with my bus pass in #hand, I went to #Brighton. Full of scampi & chips & ozone, I am now #armed against whatever the world throws at me this week.

I published my first books in my seventies - never too old, never give up.

Why many of is us here in Europe warned from his very first hate speeches + rallies! People conveniently forget that Ivana told us he had Hitler’s speeches by his bedside table! Was also clear he agrees with eugenics theory! US media failed it’s duty to inform on + probe this man + those behind him!

Many thanks to the two people who bought one of my books recently, one in UK and one in Australia. My spread, although meagre, is worldwide!

Happy Easter/Spring/Whatever, Aspen. Love the flowers ❤️

Thank you, Jay!

She picked up her #pen
to express her grief
at losing the bloom of youth -
her poems weren't great
and brought her no fame,
but they carried the #ring of truth.
