Smooth it glides upon its travel,
Here a wimple, there a gleam
Oh the clean gravel!
Oh the smooth stream!

Till a wind or water wrinkle,
Dipping marten, plumping trout,
Spreads in a twinkle
And blots all out

Britain is already a hot country. It should act like it
A land of long holidays, cool homes and tree-lined streets awaits

Arthur Daley's Brexit. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog, with analysis of what Trump's Tariffs do and don't tell us about Brexit itself, and how the 'choice' they give the UK is to duck and dive whilst the real decisions are made by others: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/04/arth...

I once received an electric shock during torture only for writing for Radio Liberty: I was told that it was "a CIA structure and an enemy of Russia", and for that reason alone I was already guilty.
Now, the "enemy of Russia" is being destroyed by America itself, and my torture seems doubly in vain.
