I'm a keen trail runner and road cyclist and, as well as taking lots of photographs, I love spending the weekends trail running or on my bike across the Norfolk countryside.

I also need high quality and very strong coffee to fully function!

Busily uploading my #HalfFrameStories darkroom prints onto Flickr for ease of reproduction and it’s just a lovely place to hang out and view each other’s photography.

ā€˜Violence is a red line’: could Nigel Farage’s ā€˜pure, cold rage’ rhetoric damage his brand? - The Guardian #UKPolitics
Absolutely, he’s a threat… Labour deputy says Farage is a threat to democracy and calls for misinformation clampdown - The Guardian #UKPolitics
I have many issues with Keir Starmer. But his response to Nigel Farage in the House of Commons today was dignified, firm and quietly powerful. It exposed Farage for the shallow and heartless opportunist he is.
Could we please see much more like this from the government.
Absolutely, and very apt that last line a prĆ©cis from Maya Angelou… he has shown us very, very clearly who he is… believe him! He is a threat to our democracy!

Keir Starmer's response to Nigel Farage at PMQs just now was probably the most powerful and eloquent I have seen him in the Commons. The full answer is worth reading.
ā€œA grieving family have asked us not to respond in the way that the leader of Reform has responded. They've asked us not to. They have lost their son in the most appalling circumstance. They make a simple plea of us as human beings to please not exploit that. That is their plea to us. 
ā€œWe all need to reflect on those words of Henry's father. My response, and the response of others to be fair, has been focused on the lessons to be learned so we can deliver justice. ā€œHis response has been to appeal for rage – rage. That's his response to a father who has lost his son and asked for that not to happen.
ā€œExploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division would be wrong in any circumstances, but to do it when the family are expressly saying please don't is unforgivable. It shows exactly who he is.ā€
Ah, some positive news… Reform UK support could plateau as it relies on socially conservative views, study finds - The Guardian
Horrible man…

He's quoting Kanye West to score points and stir up trouble over a truly horrible case that resulted in the death of a young man.

I hope it all backfires horribly for this poor excuse of a politician.
