The Old Man at the Fish Quay

If you are struggling to understand, apply the Roman legal principle of 'Cui Bono' (who benefits?). Then it makes sense

I do sympathise with those people who complain about unsightly wind turbines, solar panel arrays etc. Sadly we can't go back to the aesthetic beauty of coal-fired power stations...

I wonder how many people would vote for Reform UK if they knew that 'Man-of-th-People Nigel Farage thinks services for the poorest people need to be slashed in order to pay for millionaires paying less tax ... "Local families are fuming......" via We Demand UK

Can you take 2 mins to respond to Ofwat's consultation to demand they BLOCK the water bill hike. If water companies can't survive without hiking our bills, let them go bust and bring them into public ownership. Deadline: midnight Thurs 24th Sept weownit.org.uk/NoBillHike

Around 40% of the world's dirty money, proceeds of corruption and crime, is laundered through the UK, its Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories. Successive govts promise new laws and enforcement but they make little impact. Why do govts continue to fail? Watch the Minister's reply.

Four years ago tomorrow was the Truss mini-budget. Every day another news story says Britain is under pressure from global instability. Why can’t we just build homes, and clean energy, with secure jobs? Turns out the answer is even better than I thought. See what you think. HostageNation.com

Hostage Nation: Britain’s escape plan Major new report argues that Britain is a "Hostage Nation," trapped by a set of rules we wrote ourselves northeastbylines.co.uk/news/politic...

How do Americans tell if their electricity comes from a Co-operative? They flick a switch, if the light comes on, it's a co-op

Nice of the #BBCtv to let us know of Reform's plans for Government. By the same reckoning they should publish the plans I've made for a date with Daisy Edgar-Jones...

I hope #Sky commentators are watching...

It’s almost as if the CEOs & economists aren’t being entirely honest with us about the built in value of the system driving us off the climate cliff

Majority stall in full swing at Durham Miners Gala. Loads of great conversations about the need to work together and make sure our movement is full of capable and compassionate activists and leaders. #durhamminersgala #wearethemajority

#nufc Owners of football clubs do so to make profits. Trophies are a 'nice-to-have' but not essential to them.

#nufc I still can't find an official confirmation of Bruno to Arsenal. If he stays are we witnessing the greatest trolling in history???

These people are sick...

Makes you wonder how long funerals will have those miserable buggers in the cassocks. Time for a funeral service in line with modern sentiment of celebrating life.
