Dolly Peel, fishwife and smuggler, South Shields, 1850. When her husband and son were press-ganged, she snuck on board ship and hid. Discovered, she was allowed to work as a nurse and stay with her family.

Is anyone really surprised? These people know nothing of beer, heritage, humanity, and care less than they know. It's just a numbers game to them. If I drank any of their 'Products' I would boycott them. Carlsberg plans to shut Marston's Brewery in Burton - BBC News share.google/VWwiTTpVFuLo...

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

One of America’s Last Chestnut Groves Is About to Be Destroyed for a Data Center

A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.

Dear Jane,
I do not have any money so I am sending you this drawing I did of a spider instead. I value the drawing at $233.95 so trust that this settles the matter.
Regards, David
This is followed by a crude drawing of a spider with seven legs and a smiley face

The "zionism is racism" motion that has just passed on the Green Party's conference floor is truly gross, and deeply racist. The party's MPs deserve some credit for opposing it, though they should've done so more stridently and sooner. This is now a millstone around the party's necks. Deservedly.

It's as if he is TRYING to lose the midterms. With historically low approval ratings, it would be wise to avoid the press altogether. Instead, he gives TIME magazine this bonkers, unhinged & l-e-n-g-t-h-y stream-of consciousness interview, pathologically lying throughout. shorturl.at/PMvVB
