The thing these guys don’t get about net zero is that it’s not just a race against physics, it’s a race against other countries to win the post carbon business opportunities.

So it's taken a while, but I've finally found a location where you can clearly see London Underground trains traveling over London Overground trains.
The vantage point is at West Hampstead Overground station at the end of the platform.

All my victims seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in RFK
Suddenly

There's an outbreak spreading out from me
Oh, RFK came thankfully...

This is not an Emperor Penguin. Not even a King Penguin. Sounds a lot like our Southern Elephant Seals though.
There’s only one Emperor Penguin around here and that’s me.

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"
It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.
