(1006) Tempus is truly fugiting sommit awful just now, getting away from me a bit.

 

8. Tom Paine

An old friend who started blogging when I did, was also in Russia, libertarian left, now part of this mass for humanity which we like to think we are … still very much for the freedom to speak out (Tom’s in blogrolls, right column):

7. James Melville

Formerly left in the Andy mould, good chap overall, has turned into quite a headkicker for us:

James is exactly the sort that, in 2010 say, we might not have met up, crossed paths, ditto with Sophie … now we’re part of this antiWokerati worldwide and much bonhomie there is too … new friends etc.

6. Sophie

One of two gals on the river that I know, this is the younger, was a nurse, was told jab or no job, started spilling the beans on the whole crooked medical system, lost her home, kicked off X many times, shadowbanned … a real Bernie but not a fighter … vulnerable, abused from above, genuinely so, as I explored. Her word means a lot, though one must ustd she’s not all there at the same time:

5. Kate Hoey

It became perfectly obvious long ago that Kate, despite being Labour, was essentially a good ’un … she and Nigel were in cahoots over the fisheries you might recall.
