Well... I didn't know this. #farage #Reform #racism #ukip
Extract from The Guardian: October 13th 1999.

These shenanigans have been observed with great interest by Nick Griffin and the BNP. Until 1997, under the leadership of Dr Alan Sked, UKIP’s membership form included a clause stressing that racists were not allowed to join. Soon after Sked’s departure, however, the clause mysteriously disappeared. The new leaders, Michael Holmes and Nigel Farage — who are now both MEPs — also set out to “combine our protest” with other anti-Euro campaigners. In his UKIP election leaflet this year, Holmes paid tribute to “citizens’ patriotic protest groups”

I was intrigued by this, just a few minutes ago. If accurate, it's a domestic flight over Ukraine, let alone Russia. Odd that it disappeared - not that I'm a flightradar24 expert. Could it have "landed" rather abruptly? #flightradar #ukraine #zelensky

A picture of the PS10 Solar Power Plant. Extract from a Wikipedia article on Spain's  PS10 Solar Power Plant:

"The PS10 Solar Power Plant (Spanish: Planta Solar 10) is the world's first commercial concentrating solar power tower operating near Seville, in Andalusia, Spain. The 11 megawatt (MW) solar power tower produces electricity with 624 large movable mirrors called heliostats. It took four years to build and so far has cost €35 million (US$46 million). PS10 produces about 23,400 megawatt-hours (MW·h) per year, for which it receives €271 (US$360) per MW·h under its power purchase agreement, equating to a revenue of €6.3 million per year."

I'm surprised that @lewisgoodall.com didn't pull-up this CPAC rep for suggesting that Somalia isn't war-torn. Mind you, there was so much rubbish spouted by her that he was maybe struggling to keep up. I wonder how long until we find out more about how she's funded? #cpac
