Sorry but Vatican giving a "fuck you" to Meloni and every other anti-renewables chud pol in Europe not only making clear they're now 100% fossil free electricity, from solar *agro-voltaics" makes me smile.

Can't believe the Telegraph hasn't run w Tory MP decrying "Papist Energy Hurts Farmers".
The Vatican Is First 100% Solar Country Via Agrivoltaics: Who Is Next?
The Vatican is now completely powered by a farm that sports solar panels to help shade-tolerant crops thrive. This new coupling of solar and agriculture is growing fast.

One of my abiding impressions of Brexit is the way it slammed doors of opportunity in the faces of young people several rungs below Boris Johnson’s countless children on the ladders of privilege & advantage.

Police are now investigating the deliberate poisoning of trees on a Dartmoor common owned by Prince William’s Duchy estate, according to the Western Morning News

The Duchy has condemned the culprit

All Dartmoor farming, heritage & conservation groups must condemn this act of ecological sabotage

‘Let me stop here, at this remarkable turning point of my stormy youth...transformed into sense and wisdom while losing little of the enchantment and liberty that have led me to write them down.’ ~ The Exploits of Moominpappa, Tove Jansson for
#BookWormSat
Moominpappa stands in the center of the oval-framed illustration. He is shown leaning casually against a small, fluted column. Moominpappa is encircled by a dense, lush border of various plants, large flowers, leaves, butterflies, and other small characters from the Moomin universe, including a ghost figure.

Now this is a neat idea. With a bit of effort it could be as effective as the Hillsborough enquiry, or the Bloody Sunday one. Anyway in several decades we will understand what happened and who will face no consequences whatsoever.

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. He has brought the office down so low in such a short time. Other presidents have tried but none have come close to this.

A small colour drawing of two bullfinches, a male and a female, with branches and red rowan berries. The drawing has a warm yellow background. The rose-red breast, large black cap and thick bill make the bullfinch easy to identify. A plump-looking bird of woodlands, hedgerows and orchards, it also frequents gardens. An original art work, please note that the frame is not included. Colour pencil and mixed media on acid free toned artist paper 5 by 7 inches (12.7 by 17.8 cm).

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform.

The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

Operation Care Home

Status update:

SHE IS IN THE CARE HOME

3 years of near permanent worry, of seeing 89 unread WhatsApp messages and thinking, 'Oh god', of watching the camera anticipating the next disaster, of late night calls for falls.

Breathe, I can breathe.

Think I might actually cry...

'We have historically high welfare spending.' No we don't.

'We have a historically high proportion of working-age people not actually working.' No we don't.

'The number of Britons emigrating is skyrocketing.' No it isn't.

A story Stoppard told several times, in several places:
"Years and years ago, there was a production of The Tempest, out of doors, at an Oxford college on a lawn, which was the stage, and the lawn went back towards the lake in the grounds of the college, and the play began in natural light. But as it developed, and as it became time for Ariel to say his farewell to the world of The Tempest, the evening had started to close in and there was some artificial lighting coming on. And as Ariel uttered his last speech, he turned and he ran across the grass, and he got to the edge of the lake and he just kept running across the top of the water — the producer having thoughtfully provided a kind of walkway an inch beneath the water. And you could see and you could hear the plish, plash as he ran away from you across the top of the lake, until the gloom enveloped him and he disappeared from your view. And as he did so, from the further shore, a firework rocket was ignited, and it went whoosh into the air, and high up there it burst into lots of sparks, and all the sparks went out, and he had gone. "When you look up the stage directions, it says, 'Exit Ariel.”
