I wonder why Farage is still so opposed to re-joining the EU, if only there was something...

A word of advice. Don't. Do it yourself. It's hard enough navigating an insurance policy claim without making a non-verbal, possibly dyslexic animal without opposable thumbs and with no legal expertise try.

Farewell much loved Esther. You used to light up my Saturday evenings and then later showed what a fantastic human being you were. It seems cruel to be saying goodbye to you at just 86, but I guess That's Life.

No 10 starts looking for evidence that there is some support for the idea that we could tentatively approach Brussels with the suggestion that we explore the possibility of sometime in the future building a framework for the UK to discuss potential closer ties to the EU.

Oil and gas are simply solar storage devices that start out as vegetation and once charged you only have to wait about 100 million years to discharge about 0.000000001% of what you put in. Or you know, get solar panels, a battery and an EV if and when you can.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

Name That Dance... The main moves are the high kick, quick rotary movements of lower leg with knee raised & skirt held up, turning on 1 leg while grasping the other leg by the ankle & holding it almost vertically, the cartwheel & the flying or jump splits. Dancers may scream & yelp while performing.

Don’t get too drunk.  
Don’t drink from an open cup.  
Don’t show too much skin.  
Don’t make them think  
you’re asking for it.

Carry pepper spray.  
Don’t take the shortcut.  
Don’t walk alone.

Text when you leave.  
Text when you get there.  
Text when you get home.

And if something happens:  
*What were you wearing?*  
*How much did you drink?*  
*Why were you alone?*

He’s a good kid.  
He made a mistake.  
He has his whole life ahead of him.

One more chance.

And somehow  
her whole life  
was spent trying to  
prevent it,

while his  
was too important  
to be changed by it.

There's something incredibly pertinent in this piece about Reagan's trickle down economy on the day that Andy Burnham started unraveling Thatcher's legacy and her alignment with Reagan on so many things. Well worth five minutes of your time to read and pass on.

My Nan used to talk about when the Blitz hit in 1941. As the ack-ack guns tried to knock the bombers out of the sky & the orange glow of explosions shone over the rooftops the bewildered residents would look up, shake their fists at the Luftwaffe shouting, "Give us your names & where you're from!"

It's about time the UK played tough if Trump tries to ban the export of diesel. The UK is the 2nd largest holder of US Bonds at about $10 trillion. A ¼ of all their debt. We could sell those to finance our electrification roll out. We should anyway, but definitely if he cuts diesel sales to us.

If you're not living la Dolce Vita there's a really good argument that neither are the asylum seekers or the immigrants. There are people though for whom every day is la Dolce Vita. The billionaires, the upper class and the populist right wing politicians grifting for millions.

More shrinkflation. Be aware of which chocolates you buy this Christmas as it looks like Cadbury and/or Tesco have reduced the weight of these two items by 50g to keep the price the same. Just compare the weight of the ones now out of stock, probably discontinued, to the current in stock items...
Two stock items of Cadbury Roses chocolate both £5, the out of stock or discontinued one weighed 290g the in stock one just 240g.Two stock items of Cadbury Heroes chocolate boxes both £5, the out of stock or discontinued one weighed 290g the in stock one just 240g.

Somehow capitalism has changed to "Siphonism" A structural process in which public tax revenue is continuously channelled upward to private wealth holders through interest on government debt and through the awarding of lucrative government contracts. I think I've just coined a new word.
