Oh dear.
Moira Donegan's background in literature & creative writing at the fore in this piece claiming:
'The Olympics’ trans policy polices womanhood'.
No Moira.
The IOC Policy reinstates dedicated female categories in sport.
Remember female people?
Average UK fat cat pay surges to £5.9m, up 18%.
Exec pay and perks rise 4.5 times faster than a typical UK worker pay
Shareholders asked to approve new average 200% surge in CEO pay.
Govts preach pay restraint to workers, do nothing to curb fat-cattery.
Big Oil companies, including shell and BP, making mega profits from Iran war but abusing tax system by using UK's network of secretive offshore tax havens.
HMRC does special deals but does not disclose
Staff from oil companies, tax dodge industry seconded to HMRC.
Govts squeeze normal people.
Trump’s war is pushing up costs for millions - and Farage backed it from the start.
Farage loved boasting about how close he was to Trump. Now the bills are rising, he’s gone quiet.
So here’s a little reminder.
The village historical reenactment society met last night.
We are currently recreating great moments from American history.
This is us reproducing the moment when President Trump acted out the role of a doctor helping others.
As you can see I proudly played the leading role.🎭

Administrative costs consume 2.2 per cent of health spending in tax-funded systems compared to 3.5 per cent in insurance systems.
Agree 100%
The expensive cat basket came in this box but inexplicably the moggy prefers the comfort of cardboard.

Two photos of bluebells posted side by side. They look very similar but text boxes and arrows highlight their key characteristics. The photo on the left is of English bluebells wth curved, droopy stems with flowers mostly on one side. The tips of petals curl back, the flowers are narrow and deep blue-violet in colour. The photo on the right is of Spanish bluebells which are pale blue with wide bell-shaped flowers. Flower tips flare out and the upright stems display flowers on all sides.
Are you able to identify which bluebells are the native English variety and which are the more vigorous Spanish bluebell? This might help.
Also, use your nose. The English bluebells have a sweet scent, whereas their Spanish cousins have little to no scent.
BREAKING: Massive Attack musician Robert Del Naja defies the unlawful ban on Palestine Action.
He said “the actions of Palestine Action were highly patriotic, because they were pretty much protecting our country from getting involved in serious war crimes, and breaking international law."
In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙
43% of the population is now neurodivergent.
You want athletes with male DSDs, XY not XX chromosomes, testes not ovaries, testosterone in the male not female range & androgen sensitivity to compete in female sport?
Female athletes do not.
They overwhelmingly support 2026 IOC Policy.
Here's what happened previously:

Making Tax Digital is a big additional burden on small businesses
Here are some better tax changes:
Shut down the overseas territory tax havens
Abolish secret trusts where the rich hide their wealth from tax
HMRC should focus on the wealthy and those who use offshore not working people

Hadaway and shite! April fools day is alive and kicking - what's this bollocks about it being caramelised?
The owl is a messenger of the intermediate worlds, a teacher of that quiet truth that darkness is not only a threat, but a space of growth, healing, and deep understanding.
A rather foolish message from someone whose posts I usually appreciate. I'm a boomer, lifelong socialist, went on 4 marches against Brexit, fought the massively destructive privatisation of the 80s. Crass generalisations like this are really unhelpful

When Steve Reichs music first appeared in the 80s I was seduced. It wears badly, now appearing clever but ultimately devoid of soul mechanistic and formulaic.
You used the best elements well and your music remains always soulful and heartfelt.
