The ‘Millionaire Exodus’ the UK Media Told You About Never Actually Happened

The equivalent of 30 stories a day were published about an exodus of wealthy people that a new study finds was "non existent"

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left?
All the shifts are in just one direction.

Back to blue skies here again …and brown sheds and spring greens

#BlueSkyMonday
#PhotographersOfBlueSky
#EastCoastKin #sheds #springgreens
4 boring brown sheds lined up in front of crag covered in a birchwood glowing brilliant green in the spring sunshine. An incongruous patch of astroturf set into a carefully tended green sward in front of crag covered in a birchwood glowing brilliant green in the spring sunshine. Trucks pass by on the highway at the foot of the crag.

How to call your bank by dialling just 3 numbers… simply dial 1-5-9! Then you know it’s legit, watch the video for more info.

Please share, the more people know, the fewer will be scammed.

A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵
People in casual spring attire walk, cycle, and ride trams along car-free streets lined with colourful low-rise residential buildings in the neighbourhood of Vauban in Freiburg, Germany.

An old tyre protects the black, rusty steel hull of a fishing trawler from the blue-painted trawl door hanging over the side. A blue plastic perforated tray lying against a half-red, half-white plastic fishbox propped up by some old, rusty trawl doors on the quayside.

Here’s one for #BlueSkyMonday
and
#MountainMonday

Blue skies over Cairngorm Mountain and the Lairig Ghru; a layer of altocumulus fractures the rays beaming down on Glenmore from a glaring sun, now high in the sky in early March.

This was yesterday - no blue skies here today :(
Blue skies over Cairngorm; a layer of altocumulus fractures the rays beaming down on Glenmore from a glaring sun, now high in the sky in early March. Pity about that weedy birch tree that blocks the view. I could easily have moved to the side to avoid it but I would have had to get up off my rock…

From my window one winter morning.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Windows #frommywindow #boatsinwindows #windowshelf
The view from a window, looking across a street to a distant landscape with a vivid, orange sunrise lighting up a winter morning, with snow on the ground. A model ship is displayed on the windowsill, silhouetted against the light and bracketed by seashells.

Sunrise shadow selfie with sailing ship. The dawn rises over the hills, casting a warm light on the wall, and the shadow of a model sailing boat which sits on the windowsill. I step into the frame and angle my iphone to capture a self portrait composition.
