I love playing records and making gin. Sometimes at the same time. Can be found drinking gin too. Hoping for peace and cooperation across the world.
I have just watched the budget speech by the Chancellor of the Exchequer terribly childish behaviour by MPs.
The Leader of the Opposition steps up and it is just personal abuse and shouting sneering and completely oblivious to the impact of the last government of which she was a part.

Germany to classify date rape drugs as weapons to ensure justice for survivors
Classification plan will create basis for ‘significantly stricter’ prosecutions, says interior minister
Germany plans to treat the use of date rape drugs like the use of weapons in prosecutions as part of measures to ensure justice for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
“We classify date rape drugs, which are increasingly used as a widespread tool in crimes, as weapons. This creates the basis for significantly stricter prosecutions,” Alexander Dobrindt, the interior minister, said on Friday. “We are committed to clear consequences and consistent enforcement. Women should feel safe and be able to move freely everywhere.” Continue reading...

It should be.
Reform's former Leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, a 10.5 year jail term for taking bribes from the Kremlin.
Cosied up to authoritarian powers & traded principles for payoffs. Reform's leadership laughably claimed they barely knew Gill.
Will all this be on tomorrow's front pages?

On Waterfall Wednesday we're sharing this view of Thornton Force along the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail. The River Twiss drops 14 metres off a cliff of limestone that was laid down over 350 million years ago.

Socialism seems to get a bad rap these days in countries that purport to be Christian. I have often thought of it as Christianity in action and aligned with the principle of Almsgiving in other religions..

I like the BBC which has as far as I can see always been conservative and apolitical over the 50 years I have been in the audience. It unlike over outlets presents the truth and does not peddle snake oil
