Die Achse des Blöden
23 years ago, as the smoke was still rising from lower Manhattan above the remains of thousands of dead Americans, Donald Trump went on TV to brag (incorrectly) that his building was now the tallest in New York.

Can Labour revitalise the UK’s creative industries?
The government believes that the sector should be central to its strategy for growth. But money is tight

Be really interesting if Lab 1.5 million homes target is net neutral prefabs, using recyclable and sustainable materials that are passive for heating. All the tech exists. The price could be a quarter of what the average home in the UK costs (£300k). Council/state funded, paid part rent, part buy.

Making a Hügelkultur bed!
Dig a deep hole, fill it with logs, sticks and debris, then cover with soil. The logs soak up water and become homes for bugs, fungi and bacteria, which break down the wood and provide nutrients and water for 10-20 years!

6. Finally: Build in a walkable/bikeable neighbourhood. And build a three-plex of four-plex if possible. You already know that single-family homes are neither sustainable nor affordable. They are the result of and contributors to awful planning. Build community as you build a home.

Farage + Tice upholding the old UKIP tradition of taking the money, and doing f**k-all for it.
Famously in the European Parliament where Farage and his motly cohort insulted the EP, simultaneously milking it for all expenses possible.
A crap crew: and now they do it to the HOC.
Kick them out.

‼️More than £30.7bn in high- value contracts were awarded without competition – equivalent to almost 2/3rds of all Covid contracts by value.
‼️The DHSC wrote off £14.9bn in public money over a two-year period – equivalent to the government’s total spend on personal protective equipment.

World-beating cronyism. A third (32%, over £15bn) of Tory spending on COVID testing and PPE raised serious corruption concerns.
Transparency International's in-depth analysis raises serious doubts about all those protestations of ditching procurement procedures being in the national interest.

Did you know? The reason both British army uniforms, and Swedish houses were traditionally red is because of the mineral hematite.
It made red the cheapest colour for uniforms - and was widely available in Swedish mines for hundreds of years.
