I studied Buddhism intensely for a decade, and nothing immediately clears my mind of all grasping to thoughts or perceptions like someone trying to tell me the rules to a board game.

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action".

King Charles charges Coastal Wind Farms hundreds of millions of pounds a year to rent worthless sea bed because he 'owns the sea'.
This money is added straight onto your energy bills, then sent straight to him, and he pays no tax on it.

For those who have forgotten, in 1953, the USA and UK led a coup d'état in Iran which overthrew the democratically elected secular PM Mohammad Mosaddegh—to install the autocratic rule of the shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and thereby protect British oil interests in Iran.
