What dirt does Trump have on Infantino ? It was blackmail, surely?

The positive of Balogun is it's the first time a Republican has intervened to reduce a black man's sentence.

My local patch.

I hate how big companies just don't want anyone to own anything ever again. They'd rent food to us if they could

How embarrassing to live in a town where people buy tickets for this :-(

Brexit, SEZs, Freeports. Its all the same thing. Loot and destroy the state. Then use that stolen wealth to reinvest in the collapsed state into privatised tax free fiefdoms.

Jeffrey Epstein in an email to Peter Thiel wrote ‘Brexit, just the beginning’

When politicians and media say ‘difficult choices’, that’s code for working class people about to be screwed.

The UK is increasing the Pension age to 68. Poland has lowered theirs to 60. Their pension is higher as well.

Rather pleased with my first day's solar generation.

This is so Artistic 😊

Absolutely astonishing that there has been a two day racist pogrom in Northern Ireland and Keir Starmer hasn’t called a COBRA meeting. QWHITE revealing!

From hedgehogs and bats to butterflies and newts, the UK’s wildlife is disappearing fast – and our government is letting it happen. I’ve just signed @friends-earth.bsky.social’s petition calling for urgent action. Add your name: action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/tel...

The media is complicit in picking targets which meet their racist agenda ... "None of this happened after this r*cist murder: - No demands "pure cold rage" should be directed anywhere ... - No massive protest and zero riots from any community ..." www.facebook.com/ExposeRaciis... via Expose Racism

Streeting's legacy. How much of a bung did he get to give us this?

Thank you @vikkislademp.bsky.social for signing the open letter rejecting the offer by Thames Water's creditors. If accepted, it would set a precedent.

Can't wait to get connected (assuming Octopus can give me a Smart meter): 16 x 480w all black AIKO Gen3 solar panels, 1 x 10kw Fox hybrid Inverter, 2 x 11.52kwh Fox batteries with heating, 1 x 7kw Fox Tethered EV charger and 1 x Fox Home gateway to make it behave like a UPS.

Our really good local MP #vikkislademp.bsky.social works 12 hours a day seven days a week for her constituents. Not continuously, obviously, but she's deeply committed. How does an MP find time for another job if they are doing the one we pay them for properly?

Dame Judi Dench's petition to bring back our ancient woodlands is getting handed in on Tuesday. Let's help her get a many signatures as possible before then. Add your name now: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/br...

Me too..

Israel & the USA started the debacle in the middle east. Why isn't the world applying pressure to those two countries to back-out and pay reparations to Iran? Iran is not the guilty party.

As usual at this time of year we have people on to us worried about having a bumblebee ‘hive’ in their #garden. ‘Are they dangerous?’ ‘Should I have them removed?’ ‘Will they be there forever?’ Here’s a quick #bumblebee #lifecycle thread to explain. Please #repost/#share for the #bees. Thanks! 1/14

In the UK, you can now be jailed as a terrorist, despite not committing a terror offence, not being charged with a terror offence, and not being convicted of a terror offence. Even worse, the jury can't be told that you will be sentenced as a terrorist for your non-terror offence.

The Wisteria's giving another grand display this year. The secret is the autumn pruning. #UKGardening

It's that Rhododendron luteum time of year again.

£1.6bn in profit, which used to be effectively taxed at 100% and the money went straight back into the service. #NHS for people not profit.

French perspective

"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." Does he mean the USA? Russia always said they'd destroy america from within and it's happening in real-time.

There is only one reason the UK has been stuck in 18 years of Austerity. It is to protect the profits of the richest at the expense of everyone else. It is time for them and their profits to destroyed for the damage they have done to everyone else.

Not verified, but he was born in the US.

More heath fires around Wareham yesterday evening. What source of ignition is there in a heathland at 7pm in the evening? It wasn't sunlight through an empty bottle. Who is setting the heath fires in Dorset?

A very good summary of where we are from Gordon Liddle: www.facebook.com/plugins/post...

If Pete Hegseth can come out with lines like this and keep a straight face, he should try stand-up comedy: Pete Hegseth: “The problem with Iran is it spends money on weapons and missiles instead of improving life for their people.”

Happy Spring Equinox. It's also Nowruz, the Iranian new year.

The consultation could launch at any time. This is our chance to demand laws that truly protect wildlife and close the loopholes that have let cruelty continue for far too long. Sign up to be notified when it finally launches. https://leagueacs.co.uk/kGYr2

Has anyone heard anything from Netanyahu recently? He seems very quiet.

Several hundred billion so far to replace Khamenei with Khamenei.
