“Censorship and socialism of the worst kind.” Unfortunately a hallmark of present day Britain.

The UK Stasi have realised that the Governments control of the media narrative is up, and they are now going down the road of veiled state control of all media. Scary use of the words 'trusted national broadcasters'!

No idea where you will be in Canada however your views on Kirkland Lake (KLDC) and / or Goliath (GOT )if you come across them would be interesting and appreciated. Have a pleasant trip in the land of Carney…

I don't understand the government's mindset. If you destroy the country, everyone worth anything will leave, you'll be left with people that are largely untaxable/ not productive and criminals.

How will you get any tax then? The game will be up. You have to at least be clever in your scams.. It's just weird to me.

If I get enough money, I'll be gone baby gone.

If you decide Palm Springs is a tad too sunny and warm, give the Aerial Tram a try. Plus hiking amongst the pine trees at the top of the tram is a great way to take your mind off and get above the downhill slide in the UK. https://youtu.be/P_-OmLDA2Bw?si=MXzRDinbGEg2OYsF

I know it well. I once nearly proposed to someone up there but then decided not to - turned out to be a good choice!

An American's perspective: I live about 12 miles east of downtown LA. It can be toasty during the summer, but Palm Springs in the summer? You poor man! No one told you that spring and fall are the seasons to visit Palm Springs. Don't know about UK bias in broadcasting, but I beleive the three American networks are much less biased (before the Ellison takeover of CBS) than the privately owned Fox News propaganda machine, owned by (gasp) Rupert Murdoch. This piece of crap has divided and destroyed America with its lies (Murcoch even ruined the Dodgers for a decade or more). And there is no known cure for Trump's speeches from any pharma company. What I do is believe the opposite of what he says and I have the truth about 98% of the time or just don't listne, which works equally well and is much more pleasant.

That "future of transportation" you love so much is constantly getting in the way of firefighters, paramedics and cops and can't understand what a crime scene is. Fire chief of San Francisco says it's happening 1 to 2 times every single week
