I live in England, Cumbria to be more precise. I’ve only visited the US once and even then I got nowhere near to the place where I feel a spiritual connection to: the Great Smoky Mountains on the border between North Carolina and Tennessee. But in the last three months, the majority of my readers have been from the US: 55% to be precise.
Hi Jaime, Texas here 🤠 loving your writing! lets all and each of us keep on fighting with all we’ve got; the world stage has never been represented by good people, we’ve just been lied to for so long.........but the power lies on we the people and there’s plenty of good people amongst us, some are just still asleep or distracted, so lets keep waking people up however best we can!
St. Louis Missouri here. Love your writing. St. Louis borders Illinois, and I have lots of family in Illinois. Illinois politics are dominated by that small northeastern corner (Chicago). The rest of the state is pretty conservative, but they have no voice due to the size of Chicago. Breaks my heart what’s happening in the US. I feel like we’re no longer the “good guys” on the world stage…but then again…are any of the nation states “good guys “??? Doesn’t seem to be. I haven’t lost hope though, we’re battling the corruption as best we can here, through legal means, with our 2A still intact as the trump card (no pun intended), as it was always intended!
I feel much the same about 'Great' Britain. The narrative we've been fed is that we were the good guys fighting the Nazis and the Hun in WW2 and WW1. It was never that simple. I'm beginning to think there are no good guys on the world stage.
I wonder if I've got any readers from the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade? Perhaps they could confirm whether or not the Biden administration did indeed use a $472k sidewinder missile to shoot their hobby balloon over Alaska?
Interesting. The three most completely leftest controlled states provide your highest readership. Guessing a desire to escape from woke minions of the gay/trans/pedo mob.
Unfortunately not, currently I run a Mercedes E320 diesel estate.
I have however three motorcycles - a 1950 Douglas Mk V, 1957 BSA DBD34 Gold Star Clubman and a 1959 498cc Ariel Red Hunter.
A number of years ago I had a chipped BMW 3.5 litre Alpina, a beast of a thing that!
I used to have a Ford Escort Mk. 1 with a genuine SVO (not RS, the real Mexico shell used on the factory rally cars) shell and a number of different engines though!
I recently appealed my totally unjustified suspension, but have heard nothing for three weeks. I guess even Musk's 'free speech' Twitter don't want me back. I would use the platform mainly for research and info and to advertise my work here on Substack if I did get back on.

Absolutely Winny.

Mountain house in North Carolina, another home in South Carolina, and a house in Chicago. I think I have you covered in the States!!!
While I am reading you from my home in Japan, Illinois is my home state, for whatever that is worth.
Cumbria...very pleasant part of the World.
I'ma Yorkshire Dalesman myself!
David - are you by any chance a Subaru enthusiast? ;-)

OK I knew a David Walker in UK through uklegacy forum...
My ZX14 in the icon is still in UK - Here in NS I have a Honda CB500X - much more suited to this environment :-)
Still miss you on Twitter but hearteningto read you here.

Writing from Texas. Thanks for writing about the absurdities in UK. The learnings are legion and maybe we can learn.
