£137.9 million from the taxpayers purse in the form of the annual sovereign grant.

Paid some tax from another source. Barely 10%

But the disabled are the problem they say.

The new health secretary says there has been no public objection to Palantir in our NHS.

He wants to scrutinise the investigation into Palantir.

The stupidity is exhausting

For thousands of years, it has been known that land use change drives climate change. Cut down the forests, things get hotter. Pave the marshes, things get hotter. So, why, today, do we nearly never hear about land use change as a key driver of climate change?

Land use change = capitalism

Overconsumption is the underlying cause of every crisis we face.

We must radically slow down.

Just a finally beautiful moment with daisy on the chalkstream paths of Winchester at the exit of this heatwave. Air so still and warm and expectant that a feather takes an age to fall.

Mandatory bible studies in Texas schools. Itll be the quickest way for kids to see all the ways their authoritative patriachies dont fit the mark of christian. There will always be those kids who see what a thing really is but this gives them a platform to point it out while the whole room is on the same physical page. I really hope they do.

..If I had to find any kind of hope in a nonsense decision in mandatory fairytale reading classes.

Id rather read Brothers Grimm tbh.

Trying to shop for anything online, now we aren't part of Eu trading standards rules is like playing bran tub and none of the finds are gems.

I am exhausted searching for a decent 4 in 1 aircon system that doesnt require installing as my landlord wont allow them.

Any good personal experience recommends for something BTU9000 and over are most welcomed.

The real haste is because daughter with her chronic health issues and various medications pretty much only avoided a heatstroke by me ending up with heat exhaustion trying to keep her in cool places and comfortable. What a time not to be in full health.

Be aware that a malicious website is using guttenberg.org (two “T” not one) to distribute malware. We haven’t been able to neutralize them yet, still working on it.

It's frustrating that all the world's governments can collectively nip this straight in the bud with immediate legislation. But they won't as they're making money from all of this too whether directly or through bribery, sorry, 'lobbying'.

What a sunset last night!!

I was buying bananas in the local Co op as Steve headed to the beach to capture this.

To be fair the sky was incredible outside the Co op too!

That thing where the adhd needs savoury hot but its 32° in your kitchen with 75% humidity.

Ive egg fried cooked rice with veg, thrown a huge pot full of cold water onto the hot ring to cool while I cold pickled some cucumber then used the hot water in the now warm pot to do the washing up while eating said rice... hahaha...kill me. Another year older and even more insane.

The more of the left gets alienated, the bigger a left movement it creates.

Carry on. We'll be the majority by the time you've imploded and start oppressing each other instead.
