By Bernie Bell. I was just thinking about getting  Christmas cards, a calendar, Advent Calendar etc,  when Jeanne gave us one of her 2027 Calendars! They’re available from 59 Victoria Street, Stromness, along with more of Jeanne’s art-work I particularly like how Jeanne’s introduced a sort-of shimmer to some of the images

Jenrick’s been on quite the journey from a one nation, Remain-voting Tory, through to frothing Brexiter and on to demanding that Royal Marines murder people at sea for daring to seek refuge here. All to impress the country’s racist losers and maybe get a few more votes. Christ he’s repulsive.

Right now Israel is invading Gaza and breaking the Ceasefire to blow up the last few habitable buildings and complete their Ethnic Cleansing so they can move onto completing their Genocide. And there is silence, TOTAL SILENCE. The West are as guilty of Genocide as Israel.

Private water companies were handed a debt-free industry in 1989 under Thatcher. Since 1991 your water bills have gone up by 44% and a third of what you pay goes towards dividends payments and financing debt. They need to go bust and be taken back into public hands. Now. Not in 10 years' time.

Day 6 of #31DaysOfGraves - Weather This carving, on a Celtic cross in the Dean Cemetery, Edinburgh, depicts the funeral of Lt John Irving, a member of the ill-fated Franklin Expedition that disappeared while searching for the Northwest Passage in 1845. Lt Irving's body was discovered in 1879.
Stone base of a monument, showing a carved scene depicting two sailing ships trapped in ice, with a party of sailors in winter clothing performing a funeral on a rocky shore. Beneath the scene the Latin words "Decorum est pro patria mori" have been carved, translated as "It is sweet and fitting to die for one's country".

“The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the Convention [ECHR]. It is whether, in an increasingly dangerous world, we can afford not to” Political liars and lightweights, like Badenoch and Farage, must never be allowed to take that risk. www.lawgazette.co.uk/commentary-a...
The Law Society
Gazette

In short, if Britain were to leave the ECHR, it would not be
'taking back control. It would be surrendering influence over the rules and institutions that help keep us safe.
The debate about the ECHR is too often conducted as though it were a choice between national sovereignty and international law. That is a false choice.
The Convention advances British interests because it reflects British values: liberty under law, democratic government and the accountability of power.
Walking away would not make Britain freer. It would make Britain weaker.

Burnham could change tax relief on pension contributions for his projects. Gross tax relief in 2024-2025 was £83.9bn. 71% went to 7.7m additional & higher rate taxpayers. 29% to 30.4m basic rate taxpayers. Giving relief to all at 20% leaves £14.5bn spare for social care. But equality/equity?

If the triple lock on pensions will be scrapped. The 1st priority is to fix Pension Credit - the top up for the lowest earning pensioners to give them a basic minimum income. Shamefully many 100,000s of the poorest pensions still miss out on what they're entitled to.

This mindset is the least we deserve from a leader. Of course it has to be turned into action. But this kind of ambition and love for the country, this kind of personal but positive vision is what takes people with you. How feeble-minded Farage and Badenoch seem. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Photo of Burnham waving to the audience in front of HOPE AGAIN backdrop Burnham was not going to die wondering. He knew he might be delivering one of the longest suicide notes in history, but he did it anyway. Because he couldn't not do it. Better to go down remaining true to his principles than being slowly airbrushed out of history like the previous six prime ministers. Failures all. Andy was prepared to burn through all his political capital right there in Liverpool, right then. Not just for his own legacy but for a country he wanted to rebuild. It was the only way he could look himself in the mirror.
Honour his parents.

Andy Burnham announces end of triple-lock on the state pension from 2030. It will be replaced by double-lock, slower growth in state pension. Full state pension is already less than 50%of the minimum wage. Poverty awaits future retirees. £500bn of taxes not collected by HMRC since 2010.

…power they have indeed for you know how many there are who are for sale and how cheaply souls are going for these days. But we have, if we choose it, the power of solidarity, truth, and — if we can awaken enough people — the power of great, great, grand numbers on a scale that also has never been possible before.

So, I urge everyone to remember that they are in the midst of a trillion-alarm fire. The emergency is upon us; unfortunately it is not being broadcast. But some of that is because it is too dire for the media to want to touch. So it is up to us.

We must remember that it has always been the common people of the world uniting in great numbers that have accomplished the things of greatest value to the world. If we must once again, and without the support even of the media, rise to the biggest challenge of all, then why would we not be the better ones to face it? For the elite have already shown that they care little for anything but their profits.
