Fair assessment I think! The glimmer of hope here Is that humans do learn from life experiences particularly if these have, in hindsight, come about as a result of bad/damaging choices. Even democratic processes, which I hugely value, can learn ... I live in hope anyway ...

What a sad night for USA!! Never would have expected such divisive and false statements with no evidence from the President Donald J. Trump. Dangerous, reckless & undermining to democracy 😕

The forgotten #American motto. It is a reminder carried in pockets & wallets. It’s on the front of US passports, on the seal of country, Supreme Court, Congress & President. The words are “e pluribus unum,” Latin for “out of many one.” #America must rediscover its founding unity

The end of a mad & dangerous era for #America & the world. Perhaps we can all be more hopeful about the future when it comes to #COVID, #climatechange, genuinely addressing racism, democracy and the fundamental fact that the character of our leaders matter #Elections2020

I do hope world has started to move back towards some normality in that - facts matter not lies, - contempt gives way to respect, - we again care about unity, equality AND - leaders with character. Perhaps our leaders in UK can take a leaf from #PresidentElectJoeBiden book

Much overdue; UK needs to replace “lax” past attitude/approach with a balanced process to both encourage genuine/supportive foreign investments in the UK AND protect nation’s interest & prospects. No 10 toughens takeover laws to lock out ‘back door’ risks ft.com/content/68594e…

After 40 yrs with BT on many services, we’re thinking to move on. Our essential Broadband has been erratic & completely died yesterday midday. All I get from BT is we are investigating!! - with no real progress update. Frankly it feels like no one is on the case! BT BT Group

This should be seen -by Conservatives as a serious warning for pandering too much to the right & away from traditional values & -by Liberal Democrats as reluctant support that can fade away if they do not change enough to become a serious party that can win Ed Davey Boris Johnson

It is a real disappointment to note that Tesla have decide not to offer left-hand drive variants of key models including Model X. As a customer who supported Tesla in early days and flew the flag I feel hugely let done and betrayed. Incredibly poor behaviour Tesla Elon Musk
