I’m an elderly lefty, living in South West England who’s looking for a nice place in the fediverse where I can share/ learn/ politely disagree etc with others & (occasionally) vent my frustrations & concerns about the parlous state of the world that my grandkids are growing up in! When I’m not “doom scrolling” I enjoy gardening, bird watching, bread baking & being the best granddad I can be.

“Over the course of two years – following an unusual arrest under counter-terror powers, eighteen months on remand, a first trial, a second trial, and two separate proceedings against Charlotte Head’s barrister – it has become increasingly difficult to believe that the government is prosecuting the Filton 25 for property damage. It is prosecuting the concept of direct action.
But the Filton 25’s alleged action has also exposed something larger: the convergence of drone warfare, artificial intelligence, and industrialised killing that is reshaping warfare in the 21st century”
