Twitter has been wrecked by Elon Musk so I now comment here on Reddit.


PERSONAL INTERESTS


See here my electronic collection of Tarot cards


WORK


I’m a freelance translator. I've been a database developer, a systems analyst,
and a video technician and bottle washer. I was educated at a minor English
public school, went to university to do the wrong subject, and changed tack soon
thereafter. At 22, I went to study in France thanks to Erasmus, and ended up
living there for 18 years. This dual-country perspective and my heritage have
made me staunchly pro-European .


ORIGINS


Originally from the Pale of Settlement bordering Russia and Poland , my family
fled to London and Amsterdam at the beginning of the twentieth century. A
generation later, many of them ended their days at the hands of another
murderous regime. And a hundred years later, Russia is once again agitating,
this time with its neighbour Ukraine.


POLITICS


Drawn to the political centre, I am pragmatic about the UK party system. I voted
Lib Dem in 2019, but I have to trust now that Labour will have our backs.
Although both have abandoned the idea of rejoining the European Union. Not even
the single market?

Like nearly two million other british citizens, the Tories derobed me of the
right to vote in the EU Ref of 2016 because I had been living in France for more
than fifteen years.

To my mind, they care more about money than people. They forced brexit through
by proroguing parliament. They privatised everything, and stand as far back from
actually governing as possible.


FACTS AND OPINION


Like all armchair politicians, I could offer an opinion on just about anything,
but Brexit and T.Rump have increased the need to care about the sources we
consult. Long live the experts! Hard facts are hard to come by when loudly-held
opinions carry more weight than meekly understood truth.
