Not as many plays as i would like but several excellent new games discovered #bgstats #boardgamesWe can’t increase income tax because it will hurt workers, capital gains because it will hurt business, national insurance because it will hurt business and workers, pensions because it will hurt pensioners, inheritance tax because it will hurt people who are dead (?!). We can’t borrow because the markets won’t like it. We can’t ‘print money’ because it will cause inflation. How precisely are we going to pay for our crumbling infrastructure and services which are dragging us down. #ukpolitics

There are many of us in the uk that have had to come to terms with the fact that our country is not the place we thought it was and it has taken time, energy and effort to rebuild our sense of belonging. If it has happened yet.
I can only imagine how these events are feeling. I can only say, it will get better, but it will take time, much longer than you hope for, i suspect, but it will.

Out of a choice of two candidates you really think this is the best choice? Out of a population of over 300 million this is the one you choose to lead you?
Even taking in to account the gerrymandering, lies, interference and media manipulation, nearly half of you have seen clips of him talking rubbish and gone, we want him!
You need to give your collective heads a wobble! Everything that happens now is on you. The information was available.

The performance was excellent and the set was fantastic with its continuously moving train carriages. It’s currently touring the country and is worth seeings if you get the chance. An imaginative production of a well known story. #theatre #cambridge

This constant car focus is getting absurd.
I am aware that there are many areas of the country where people have little option, but surely the £3 billion a year on the 5p cut alone would go quite some way towards some extra buses… (not to mention had fuel duty increased with inflation since 2011…) #budget #ukpol

Camel Up! is a simple (ish) game with a fun theme and holds the tension to the end. Plus it has had a pyramid dice dropper and pop up palm trees! Understandable enough to a 89 year old to win after 2 games… #boardgames

As a piece of iron age experimental archeology it was fascinating, and they haven’t even (re)built the crannog yet. The staff and volunteers were extremely passionate and engaging with plenty of knowledge. #scotland #history #ironage

Thankfully, it does contrast with the vast majority of people I meet, on a day-to-day basis, who are kind and loving and want the best for those around them.
My hope is that the next government can, at the very least, moderate their language and slow this decline in our public life.
