No surprise Trump said he loves the uneducated!

Photo taken in Newtown during one of many long Covid lockdown walks in 2020. It's since been replaced but gave me plenty of chuckles.

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”
But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people.
Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.

Here's a photo from October 2003 taken at the 'Weapons of Mass Derision' Peace Rally in Sydney. In a simpler time when we thought Bush, Howard and Blair were the very worst examples of national leadership possible. 21 years on and trying to keep the despair at bay...

From about 14.5 minutes Ted discusses historic cycles: "The trend goes on longer than seems sensible".."Things have to reach a ridiculous extreme before it turns around" I hoped Trump 1.0 was the "bitter end of the cycle" but it seems things had to get even more ridiculous? Will it turn around?

A wonderful day of music in the streets of Stanmore on Saturday. 11 stages, over 70 groups/performers and almost 1,000 individuals making music in all its forms in memory of the late, great Richard Gill. Photo of 'The Richard Gill Allstars' doing their tribute to Richard incl. the Dambusters theme.

Here’s a lovely bunch of Sangiovese grapes destined for a bottle of Brunello Di Montalcino. In his Story of Wine book, Hugh Johnson says wine “has the power to banish care”. We need this occasionally!
