This is a disgrace. Brave RNLI volunteers being called scum for risking their lives to save others at sea is just plain wrong. So I've signed an open letter of thanks for the RNLI letting them know th...

I am bloody proud to be an #RNLI supporter and member! These brilliant men and women have quite enough to cope with without being harassed by the scum of the earth. Their only concern is to help people in danger at sea - not check passports first! Which is how it should be. Please RT if you agree🙏

It’s well known that Southern England is not particularly hilly. So the views from even small hills (such as Beacon Hill near Newbury) can still be far reaching. In the evening light it took me a while to pick out Highclere Castle.

Evening clouds looking northwest from Beacon Hill. Wooded hills in the foreground.

Enjoyed a great performance of Beethoven’s 5th piano concerto and 9th symphony at the Royal Festival Hall, then heard someone on the train home confidently asserting that Schiller’s Ode to Joy is the German national anthem.

My practical problem with this is when, having paid VAT to have my coffee and panini on the premises, I can’t find a vacant amidst all the laptoppers and MacBookers who either didn’t buy anything or consumed what they bought ages ago.

Agreed. You can think Ian Huntley was a very bad man and also think it is very worrying that in a supposedly very secure prison a convicted criminal was able to get the opportunity and the weapon to beat another to death. Not being concerned about the second part just doesn’t cut it.

The difference between the British and the Americans right there: if (which of course is unlikely) we were launching an attack like this, we’d call it ‘Operation Somewhat Peeved’.

It is my opinion that people should focus more on "How do we get through the next five years?" and less on "If only it was 2015 again!“

The English name for this place is a bit unfortunate but the views are breathtaking.

substack.com/@iandunt/not... A great piece about the city I am proud to have grown up in. Now, just as during my childhood, its diversity is its strength and this is true of Britain’s other great cities. This upsets people with small minds (and yes a professor can have a small mind).
