Building small timber passivhaus in Correze, France. An area that was important to the resistance in WWII.
I might yet use it to escape UK fascists.
Growing trees for the deer to eat, fruit for the birds and nuts for the boars. It's going well.

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder.
We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

Is is any wonder that a Prince, Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh, His Royal Highness - should act as if he is entitled?
Dump all birth right entitlements. It simply signifies unearned privilege. It does nobody any good.

Mounting a resolute defence against the far right on immigration is necessary but not sufficient. We need aggressively pro-immigration voices - like this - in UK politics. Actively welcoming migrants is morally right and better for everyone. Make that case and put the bigots on the defensive.
The end of free movement of people with the European Union has been a “disaster” for the UK that should be urgently reversed, new Green Party leader Zack Polanski told POLITICO — in his first major intervention on EU policy.
Ending EU free movement a ‘disaster’ for Britain, says Green Party’s Zack Polanski
The party’s new leader calls for the migration pact to be reinstated as he sets out his stall on Brexit.

That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.

Looking for recommendations for buying an air filter in the UK.
For Covid, but also fine dust (from my woodworking). I'm put off by the high price of replacement filters, especially as I might use many, filtering out the dust. Thanks.

Everybody: please stop mentioning that Farage was regularly on Russia Today, a channel now banned for its Russian propaganda content, blamed the EU for Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2014, had a Russian spy running his Welsh operation, and built his whole career on a policy Putin supports.
Farage is doing a big media push to deny he has any links with Putin and Russia.
It’s obviously starting to hurt.

When did the framing of masking become ‘wokey lefty’ these are some of the ridiculous comments in the UK media, in response to Violet Affleck delivering her speech. Respirators work, it’s called physics! Enough of this ignorant politicisation of health preventions for an airborne virus.

Rereading some George Orwell, I was struck by this quote: "In England all the boasting and flag-wagging, the 'Rule Britannia' stuff, is done by small minorities. The patriotism of the common people is not vocal or even conscious."

For there to be no comment from the government on Musk's call for violence, let alone action against X, is unconscionable. An utter dereliction of its responsibility for national security and an affront to every member of an ethnic minority, who is being put at risk by this rhetoric.

Here’s the thing: we do not concede *one inch* to the far right. Ever. Anywhere. They are not just another political player. They are a threat to everything our ancestors fought and died to protect. They are not to be appeased. They are to be stopped. Rip down the flags wherever you see them. 3/3

Could we please stop pretending that the flags being hung from streetlamps or painted on roundabouts are innocent expressions of patriotic pride? This is the far right marking out its territory. It uses these flags to intimidate its traditional victims and opponents. 🧵1/3

@sianushka.bsky.social hi. I wanted to respond to your excellent article warning about Farage. You suggest NIMBYS will fight against planning applications for camps. Not if the camp is located in a freeport! It can get steam rolled through!

I hate all forms of violence.
I wish no harm on anyone.
I just want a kinder, fairer, greener world.
Apparently this makes me a terrorist.

#Monbiot What's this fishing industry that has been given to the EU? A few big trawlers in the N Atlantic, often foreign owned + UK flag. Inshore waters dead! No cod, pollack, ling left! Overfishing and water now too warm. They're not coming back.
