Perhaps American politician volunteers come here but not sure it’s a good idea. The Trump campaign alleged that in recent weeks, Labour recruited and sent party members to campaign for his opponent, Kamala Harris, in critical battleground states in a bid to influence the 5 November . “This past week marked the 243 anniversary of the surrender of British forces at the Battle of Yorktown, a military victory that ensured that the United States would be politically independent of Great Britian” – an incorrect rendering of “Britain”. In response, UK prime minister Keir Starmer said that party officials volunteering for Harris ahead of the US presidential election on 5 November. -
I bought my husband a banjolele for his birthday and we saw these guys playing electric ukuleles , we decided to go last night. It started early so we thought we’d stay a short time but we stayed . They were great fun and the audience danced the night away even though they were mostly in their 70s or 80s. The Ukaye Ukes Promotional Video https://youtu.be/xt52uryPeDw?si=r_zR87LtIdlmwgkH

For the first time I was unable to vote as mentioned, I feel guilty but also knew that in my very Conservative area, the only possibility would have been a Liberal Democrat voted in and they were by a huge majority. I admit the liberal candidate was the person I might have voted for as I have spoken to her and she came across well. This morning I received a text asking me to sign a petition for P.R. I do feel in that way my vote would count and I could vote Green or Labour in my constituency which would mean more with P.R. As I am a floating voter it feels fairer. According to my texting friend, the only countries in Europe to use First Past the Post are the U.K and Belarus. Any sensible reasons as to whether I should sign the petition or not ? -

When cyclists overtake me as well as motorbikes and scooters, I think surely the speed limit applies to them too, apparently it doesn’t. Hilda Griffiths, aged 81, died two months after the collision which happened shortly after 7am on a Saturday morning in June 2022, in which she sustained injuries including several broken bones and bleeding on the brain, reports Telegraph.co.uk (link is external). Inner West London Coroner’s Court heard that the cyclist, Brian Fitzgerald, who works as a banker with Credit Suisse, was riding at a speed of between 25mph and 29mph as he undertook laps of the park, a popular destination with the capital’s cyclists, in a pace line with fellow members of the Muswell Hill Peloton club. The speed limit in the park is 20mph, but the Metropolitan Police Service confirmed that it does not apply to people riding bicycles, and that the case had been closed because there was “insufficient evidence for a real prospect of conviction.” -

When there appears to be no concrete proof , certain people make up these conspiracies and then gullible and often stupid (sorry to say that but true) people believe them. I feel they can be very harmful such as unvaccinated people dying of Covid or cause distress to people’s lives. I wondered what other people’s thoughts are?
