Revolution stirs,
Golden persimmon fruit shines,
Change whispers, skies wise.

A grotesque spectacle: European governments, including Britain, Germany, Austria, Sweden, and others today, cynically and opportunistically, blanketly pause ALL Syrian asylum claims, pandering to racist bigots and bending the knee to right-wing agitators.

Happy Birthday Engels!
28th November

"The significant characteristic of monogamous marriage was its transformation of the nuclear family into the basic economic unit of society, within which a woman and her children became dependent upon an individual man."

The U.S. conducts immigration raids while its colonial history involved displacing Native Americans and exploiting their lands. This hypocrisy highlights the need for a more humane approach to immigration. #Immigration #ColonialLegacy #HumanRights
I just leave this here.....

The Uzbek Persimmon harvest in Soviet times. Persimmon was a valuable part of Soviet agricultural efforts, contributing to food diversity and nutrition. #Uzbekistan #Agriculture #Persimmons #SovietHistory #khiva

On this day in 1937 Shostakovich 5th symphony premiered in Leningrad. The standing ovation lasted an hour apparently.

The Persimmon tree has lost its leaves but the fruit are slowly ripening. When do you pick them though?

In a 2021 interview with The Telegraph, Jeremy Clarkson mentioned that one of the main reasons he bought his Cotswolds farm was to avoid inheritance tax.
Now him and Farage are disrupting London traffic to protest..shame they didn't just superglue themselves to a tractor.

Victoria Derbyshire nails Jeremy Clarkson over his Inheritance Tax scam.

Hilarious to watch him squirm.

At the Intourist hotels in Soviet Russia in 1983 we mainly ate lamb, and there was never any ice cream. This book should help with the borsht, stroganoff and vereniki recipes

Both in the news today for differing reasons. Michael Sheen who remortgaged his house to fund the Homeless World Cup, Jeremy Clarkson who bought a farm to evade tax.

I see that Lloyd Webber who flew over specially from New York to vote through 2015 Welfare Act cuts is out speaking up for those rich landowners and farmers wanting to avoid paying their way in tax.

And of course he’s one of those landowners.

Farmers complain- inheritance tax on farms over £1m. Seems good to me. By taxing the rich wealth is redistributed, + helps reduce economic disparities + provide resources for public services I'd support the nationalisation of farmland so land is used for the common good.

My Grandfather C.D. Darlington wrote an obituary of the Soviet geneticist Nikolai Vavilov who died in a gulag after a Stalinist purge of opponents of Lysenkoism.
Great to read about Vavilov and the saviors of the Leningrad seed bank in Simon Parkin's book.

From a socialist lens, the blue sky reflects natural beauty available to all but unequally enjoyed due to socioeconomic disparities. The sky’s blueness symbolizes broader societal inequities. Isn't it interesting how perspective changes everything?
