A Tyke, no longer in the land of Tykes, in fact no longer in the country that surrounds the land of Tykes and NEVER likely to return. He/Him/It or whatever you like. A Centrist with Left Leaning tendancies - never Right Wing - ProEU, anti-Isolationism.

But this one is ok it seems.

A man holding a sign that reads "For Treason. Remoaners to the Gallows" alongside an illustration of a gallows. The sign defines treason as "the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill or overthrow the sovereign or government." The background appears to be an outdoor location at night, with faint lights and buildings visible. The man has light-colored hair and is wearing a dark jacket and a cap.

Long time since I last heard an Antonov 12 cargo plane - one just flew over us on route to Casablanca from Frankfurt. Sorry no photo just heard it. It was this one 👇

Sit down, have a glass or two of rosé and consider the poor people of Clacton-on-Sea soon to be re-invaded by Reform Party activists from Manchester to fight for their 'man of the people' against the intergalactic messiah that is Count Binface. And YES I do get to vote for this seat.

A stylized movie poster featuring a robotic figure with a metallic helmet and armor set against a cosmic background. The Earth is visible in the lower portion of the image. Above the figure, the text reads: "THEY HAD FIVE YEARS TO PREPARE" followed by "SO DID HE." At the bottom, the title "BINDPENDENCE DAY" is prominently displayed, with the subtitle "BY-ELECTION" below it.

Couple of changes to manifesto needed - but go for it my Intergalactic Overlord.

A colorful political poster featuring "Count Binface," a candidate for Clacton. The top of the poster includes the slogan "One Man. One Bin. One Chance to Save Clacton," along with a playful illustration of Count Binface wearing a bin as a hat. The manifesto lists humorous promises, such as capping the price of a croissant, abolishing VAR in football, and inviting European countries to join the UK. The poster emphasizes a light-hearted approach to politics with phrases like "A Manifesto That Makes Sense, Even If the Hat Doesn't.” The bottom encourages voting for Count Binface and highlights honesty, humor, and common sense in politics.

To be added to the Tree of Life, nowhere near the apex of course & most certainly on a short branch of its own, a branch that is already withering away. Just like the trees on our village green after the recent heat-domes !!!

An illustration of a fictional creature named Tyrannofascipiscis histrionicus braggadocius, resembling a fish with a caricatured face that appears angry or expressive. It features a noticeably inflated cranial crest and is surrounded by bubbles, representing its defensive mechanism. The background is dark, enhancing the creature's visibility, and there is a caption below stating the specimen's origin and a disclaimer about resemblance to living persons. A red "DO NOT TAP THE GLASS" warning is in the bottom right corner.

How can this be called a "courtesy" when people have to drive, wait in queues & then go home with the equivalent of a couple of buckets of water - when they still have to PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE of having to do it again & again !?!
