Without asylum:

Marks and Spencer wouldn't exist

Queen would have been without a front man

The other queen wouldn't have had a husband

Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea

And thousands of less famous people wouldn't have been teachers, politicians, neighbours, etc

English councils plan to sell off social clubs and sports centres to balance books.

Social spaces lost forever. Libraries, community centres, school playgrounds, parks closed/sold as council funding cut in real terms to appease the rich.

Social vandalism.

Outside of Motorsport, this is easily one of my favourite ever sporting moments. A petulant child getting his comeuppance, on the pitch at least. Even sweeter when it's against my country 😹

All public utilities should be nationalised and not there for the private profit of corrupt companies and grossly inflated salaries of their CEOs. Thatcher’s experiment with privatisation has failed.
"Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era.

What followed was anything but. Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt. Our rivers are polluted, our bills keep rising, and we’re told to pay still more..."
Yorkshire Water: it’s time to end the rip-off
Handing the company back to local people would return both control and value to those who need it most

A historic turning point for clean heating in Europe: For the first time, in the first half of 2025 sales of heat pumps in Germany have surpassed those of gas boilers.

This is a big milestone, demonstrating that the transition away from fossil fuels in our buildings is not just a future ambition.

NEW!

Pionierlager Klim Woroschilow enjoyed its heyday when East Germany still existed. The good children of the socialist state were sent to youth camps for summers of fun and no doubt to help them develop a healthy distrust of the West. The distrust was warranted.

What’s with the Guardian - claiming 100s of thousands of people are being deprived of heat pump subsides. It’s a massive exaggeration first off, levels of heat pump installations nationally are running at 40k a year - that’s tens of thousands not hundreds.
