I am a graduate physicist and professional telecoms software engineer. I love things that do things, which makes me the world's worst art critic.

@RichardDawkins They didn't need to read it, he is a con man who tells them what they wish to hear and shows them what they want to see. I think it was that great humanitarian Phineas T. Barnum that said "Never give a sucker an even break".

@65Ursa @RichardDawkins Damn it, you beat me to it.

@benonwine I think we are being ruled by our enemies. Odd situation to be in.

@RedLineReportt Apparently, I used to be president

@MikhailaFuller @jordanbpeterson Our prayers go with Jordan, you, and your child. God bless, and may his strength grow within you all. Jordan is a beacon of hope to many of us in this fractured world.

@abrahamson_ed @DavidDavisMP Or just call a general election and let the people sort it out?

@DreyfusJames Charlie kirk was a man who put the sanctity of life above everything but God himself. The irony is that those who killed him or shared in the celebration of his death are those who failed to offer any valid argument against him. I cried when I heard of his death. A light goes out

I hope I'm wrong.

But tonight feels like some sort of invisible line has been crossed that we didn't even know was there. The last time I felt like this was 9/11 when it was clear, without knowing the how and the what, that the world was about to change forever.

Like the rules of the game had been permanently altered and there was simply no going to back to the innocent, peaceful past.

I didn't feel like this when an attempt was made on President Trump's life. If I had to rationalise why I didn't, I guess it's because several US Presidents have been shot at and even assassinated. Somehow it was within the realms of the possible, no matter how awful.

But to murder a young father simply for doing debates and mobilising young people to vote for a party that represents half of America? This is something else.

Charlie's death is a tragedy for his wife, his children and his family. I don't pray often. I am praying for them tonight.

But I fear his murder will be a tragedy for all of us in ways we will only understand as time unfolds.

I hope I'm wrong.

@rickygervais I share your pain, though mine is RSI through tiddly winks.

@jk_rowling Nursing mothers will have to sit an exam.

@DillieKeane It is easy to write anagrams that use misspelt words. I like "lie, naked lie" for Dillie Keane.

@TheSimonEvans @AudleyStrange There seems to be an increasing number of modern books where sentences, presented as profound, follow a grammatical structure yet are populated with random nouns and verbs. If you don't relate, you are not part of the author's world.

@TheSimonEvans @ELTAuthor Isn’t that what the progress of life is about? Trading youth for wealth. Never understand why age should mean you have to pay less. However, I am still fine with using my OAP bus pass to get to work.

@thecoastguy If he is comparing us with Russia, he may have a point

[Nigel Willis @NigelWillis]

@Aiannucci An inspired piece of self reflection, there is hope for you.

@LozzaFox @Jaguar I am sure a lot of trans Africans are raiding their piggy banks to buy a Jag as we speak.

@mrmarksteel What is it about the left and their hatred of farmers? They slaughtered the kulaks, the yeoman farmers of Stalin's Russia, because they were competent and made the feckless peasants look bad, and so they used these peasants to build their power base, then followed starvation.

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret My question is: have you got the slightest clue as to how normal human beings think, family, identity, tradition, and love, or is it all strictly theoretical with you two?
