This was evident during the Covid lockdown, when nature carried on doing its thing without human interference.

I haven’t seen any references to this in the British press but I hope Albania can stand firm against the cleptocracy.

Rain last night and cool wind this morning,sunny again but breathable. House martins have at least 2 chicks. There may be more. Newts in the pond, woodpeckers nesting next door, a robin visits every morning hoping for mealworms.

HOT! Flying ant weather.Hundreds of ants marching into the conservatory. dozens of them with wings. I sprinkled cinnamon around their entry points, and they departed briskly, some on foot and some on the wing.

We thought it could never happen again. A late friend of mine who lived through it, and whose parents got her out of Germany before they were sent to Dachau, described the way it was in graphic detail. She would be aghast if she could see what’s going on in plain sight now.

Yesterday, I saw a meme about UC recipients. I always check. Not all its info was right. But this is: In Febr 2026, 83.6% of UC claimants were British or Irish citizens, 1.6% were refugees. 76.2% of claimants with known ethnicity were White. That's a poverty problem, not an immigration problem.

This isn’t a debate between “development”& “conservation.” It’s a war between short-term greed and long-term survival. Our forests aren’t luxury green spaces,they are life-support systems. Destroy them,& we destroy the air we breathe,the water we drink,& the climate

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

Bore da. Yesterday There was a British Legion stall in the High St. I put a fiver in their tin but explained that I wouldn’t take a poppy. The horror is staring all over again, Have we learnt nothing? The huge soldier reached out and shook my hand.

He’s dangerously confused. Almost everything he’s done so far has been disastrous. I hope any MPs with backbone will ignore this order.

Reform is a magnet for racists without a home, a bin for failed Tory MPs without a future, a crèche for brainwashed children with no clue about anything, and a stage for morons who want to dress up in glittery flags, shouting. It is anything but a serious government in waiting.

Symptomatic of how media deliberately feed anger: "asylum seekers in hotels up 8%" as the only headline being pushed. Number much lower than Tory high, spending on hotels significantly down, applications processed faster, backlog down, overall immigration dramatically lower. But that won't do. ~AA
