Ukraine singed a deal with the US where Ukraine gave up their Nuclear missiles and in exchange for that if Russia attacked Ukraine America would fight for Ukraine. Under Biden America failed Ukraine. Under Trump America has betrayed Ukraine. America will never be trusted again Whoever's running it.

In the USA there are a lot of cases of attempted execution by injection that have failed because they can not find a vein. It may be that fear invokes a constriction of veins as part of flight or fight reactions. Next step will probably be to play convicts Enya before execution to relax them.

I'm the musical director. I created the backing track. That's why I know how this song is meant to be sung on this occasion. You may have a loud cutting (Slightly out of tune) voice, but you missed both rehearsals where we rehearsed this song. You do not know better than me what order it is sung in.

The "Conservative" promise that they will build lots of houses that will be cheaper for builders, but will cost You so much to heat them and pump them out when they flood that they will be a plague upon normal people for decades to come. Vimes boots on a whole new and deliberately malicious scale.

Hour long power cut here that took out the Mobile network too. After the first ten minuets loads of people came out to the street to chat. I wondered down to the shops and chatted there for it bit knew about a third of the people I was chatting with. it was all rather pleasant. It's a nice village.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I'm sure locals will moan and random politicians will support them, but this is a good thing. Given the potential for Russia to commit covert undersea sabotage putting all our power generation sitting duck in the sea is a bad idea.

Call it nerd culture or geek culture, the cliche is at home alone on our computers. I spend Tuesday nights out putting on shows with the drama nerds, Wednesday nights out at a jam night with the music nerds and Thursdays out at a hall full of various gaming nerds. It's main streamers who stay home.

It's playing a bard in D&D. With lack of offensive magic those spell slots go on interesting spells so when at the end of a battle the mysterious Drow that was staying out of it disappears in a puff of smoke I can check it was a teleport by casting Faerie Fire. Spoiler: Not Teleport or Drow shapped.

Can't help feeling MP's are the last people who should be asked what a winning Eurovision song sounds like. Personally I think we should send a song that shows where the leading edge of the UK music scene is right now and if Europe ain't there yet who cares. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Really good song rehearsal for the panto. All the cast paid attention. The director didn't. The cast all got the lesson about clapping together on the off beat The director was then encouraging everyone to clap on the wrong beat entirely.

The point of Democracy is that everyone gets an even say. We know large amounts of money can be used to influence the vote and thus the direction of political parties. As such being able to make donations in amounts a million times greater than most normal people could afford is anti-democratic.

Farage says the Crypo millionaires will get nothing in return for their huge donations. That's because Nothing is what they want. Nothing in the way of regulation. Nothing in the way of scrutiny in to how Crypto currencies assist tax evasion, Money laundering and payments for illegal stuff.

Big political donations from Crypto billionaires shows the problem with crypto, They could just be passing on money from another billionaire from elsewhere with no right to do so and we would have no way of knowing. Crypto=Money Laundering.

A Banks are moving Billions of dollars worth of gold out of America. The UK is no longer bowing to Americas wishes over our relations with Israel. Five years ago neither of these things were imaginable. The world has given up on America. We are making other arrangements. Our need for it is over.

On the whole policing for the Bigot's Balaclava Brigade I will note that they all ended up on trains and trains have cameras and it was hot and it's far better to deal with a mob one at a time when the police choose.

Fourth power cut in four days. This is not normal for round here. There was a time when I wouldn't have been surprised with one brief cut a month, but this is worrying. One wonders who one can find out what is going on.

I see that just in case anyone was thinking of arguing against Reform today they have organised for their Masked Fash Heavies to be on the streets today to terrify you in to silence. Time to shout louder. Reform are a corrupt front for Oligarch rule. They want you to give away your own human rights.

Oi Reform, FUCK OFF! Gardening is my job. I have spent years building up work as a gardener. It's been a slog but I'm just about getting by now. But you come along and want to steal my work and give it to people who either aren't actually fit to do this hard physical work or don't want it.

Canada, Don't fight this one. When a body between two countries is named after one of them it's normally the lesser. When the English Channel was named hundreds of years ago France was the greater power. The Irish sea is named after island. I it's Lake America now it shows who is lesser now.

The reason why people think Dolly was “politically neutral” is because they don’t understand being political as a series of actions born of commitment to an idea. Being political as defined by the pundit class is to be in front of a microphone delivering sound bytes, it’s something to be devoured

We've had a little rain, but weather it will be enough to get the grass growing again we will have to wait and see. Hopefully this will be the start of a week of many small rain showers (Which is the best way for it to come). We will know by the weekend, but this is Eastanglia.

So it seems the reason Nigel Fragilego didn't turn up to the count last night was that he was too afraid he might get heckled. He's a man terrified of the the people. Now prepare for weeks of him protesting he was not in politics at the time he literally owned a political party.
