SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Allow time to walk down to the cemetery (about 8 minutes).

You may want to bring a brolly!

The Rattenings focuses on Wardsend's connection to a particularly violent episode in the Sheffield Outrages. The Outrages were a series of explosions and murders carried out by union militants in the 1860s.

The East Wing was where Eleanor Roosevelt welcomed all visitors to the White House.

That must have kept this administration up nights until they could knock it down. To build a ballroom we can't afford, during a shutdown, for a president who just posted himself dropping shit on the country.

Excellent piece about the 'Club Mill Road Salmon' and a mention for Wardsend.
At our Bioblitz on Wednesday you can watch a demonstration of the electro fishing technique used to catch it. Wouldn't it be great if they found another one? Fingers crossed 🤞https://abitblackoverbillsmothers.substack.com/

PE has devoured care homes, vets, GP surgeries, high streets.

It buys/sells schools too, albeit private ones.

Education commodified. Parents complain about paying VAT on fees; silent on PE profiteering.

How long before PE is let into state schools?
