If the Baltic states, the UK and France are not invited to discuss the state of NATO with the USA, then the other European NATO states should refuse to attend as well. European security needs to be seen as a whole, only Putin (and Trump) wants to divide it up. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

We're repeatedly told that asylum seekers pose a threat to the good people of our country... Reading about the threatening and violent treatment of elderly and open minded locals in Crowborough I get the impression that the real threat comes from closer to home. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

On Facebook and other platforms, people
who are known to support the asylum
seekers have been threatened with acid
attacks, petrol bombs and rape. The dossier.
which has been seen by the Guardian, also
claims that several local businesses have
been threatened by far-right agitators, along
with a church where some asylum seekers
worship. One man was punched in the throat
after he held up a "Love Thy Neighbour"
sign, while an elderly couple were falsely
accused of supporting sex offenders. In yet
another case, a 92-year-old church volunteer
was reportedly woken at 3am for two nights
in a row by a man standing outside her
home, shining a torch through her window
and shouting abuse

Flippin heck, I only just got out of the roses and turned my back (to feed to complaining cats) when there was an almighty crash in the pergola. Greenfinch came out like a torpedo, the sparrow hawk tried to look not too embarrassed. The bluetits seemed to laugh 😀

Spending time in the presence of one of Ireland's extremely rare ancient trees, like this hulking oak near Bandon with local man Dan Holland, are for me life highlights. But it's always bittersweet, tempered by the knowledge that such stupendous beings were once commonplace. We have lost SO much.

"In the speed of its collapse, Germany’s mainstream centre-right party [CDU] is outdoing Britain’s Tories." A rather grim outlook on the political situation in Germany, especially for the CDU and chancellor Merz after the elections in Sachsen-Anhalt. Highly recommended, a lot to think about 👇
