Lets tell the truths for a change... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Well everybody except the government seemed to know this...why...who are these guys? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Lovely gig under the trees in St Peter's Community Garden at the Sandwich Folk & Ale Festival last Sunday. Thanks for having us and we had a blast. Good people and good fun! L-R: Nicholas Thurston, Bass/ Vocal. Henry Sparks, Mandolin/ Guitar/ Vocal. Danny Wood, Guitar/ Vocal.

Read this! This is the government report on the instability of the UK's national security due to climate change. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/696e0e...

Duuuh... as that great American expression goes! You can find the 14 page report on government website by following a couple of links in this and other articles. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

“GO OUT AND VOTE REPUBLICAN IN THE MIDTERMS, BECAUSE IF THE COMMUNISTS GET IN, YOU’LL NEVER FISH AGAIN!” The short fingered vulgarian lurches over the gunwales. Unfortunately actual drowning was not reported...HA!

Today's mic stand...Sauerkraut! And today we wake to the news of fresh hell somewhere on the planet. It is probable that keeping informed about the world is actually bad for one's mental health but we persist in being informed to take part in the debate. henrysparksmusic.co.uk/summer-hot-a...

Do come along for some fun playing and singing!

Jonathan Freedland: '...our global addiction to fossil fuel ...is wrecking our world. We can talk about other things, we can look away, we can refuse to look up, but – like the heat bearing down on so many of us at this very moment – we cannot escape it.' www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump/Epstien files: ' ...full compliance with the Transparency Act will be made... But given the items the government must now provide publicly, this is a highly significant development and a real win not just for Katie, but for the victims and the survivors.' open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Skeptics of climate change should be regarded with the disgust they deserve. Their future is so bright their shades won't cut it! 'Last October, health experts said rising global heat was now killing one person a minute around the world.' www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Say it again... bsky.app/profile/ledb...

The SHORT FINGERED VULGARIAN is responsible for all this: '...the $2bn (£1.5bn) a day spent on military operations could otherwise cover lifesaving aid for roughly 87 million people.' ... and the rest of this fresh hell. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

I wish it was not but it was... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

FDOTM nails it (again)! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

IS FDOTM suggesting the AI economy will collapse or just should collapse? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Diesel is getting so expensive farmers may not be able to harvest their crops Fertiliser is getting so expensive some farmers might not even plant their crops at all All against a backdrop of extreme/ unseasonal weather causing huge losses for the last several years

Preaching to the choir... I hope! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Watch the evisceration of a Trump loyalist admiral in congress defending the war in Iran which was unnecessary, cost lives and looks like being an expensive fiasco (or worse) for the whole world. The Congressional Republicans are responsible for this war. youtu.be/mBPO0AupDfY?...

Sod all this andyburning fluff! What are politicians doing sitting on their hands? "The climate crisis is costing the UK about £60bn a year, or about 2% of GDP, including flood damages and the loss of crops to farmers." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"But the climate will not be bending to the will of even the best funded, most heavily militarised and artificially idealised US administration nor the King Canute at its centre. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

If our politicians don't fix things it is either because they don't want to or can't be arsed... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The survivors deserve justice. Keep talking‼️ #SheShed

Essential info for all: “If we carry on emitting at current rates, that will accelerate the risks to health for both current and future generations ...” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Some hope in today's 'what fresh hell?' world: '...measures that restrict motorists are portrayed as an attack on civil liberties and lower-income households – while the costs of car culture are ignored outright.' www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Oh dear...but are you surprised? Me not. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

Close UK Airspace to US warplanes.

It’s going to cost the lives of so many people. It’s going to devastate the US economy and the regional economy. It’s going to set back America and its standing in the world. It’s a horrific moment.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

1 in every 50 Americans, over 8 million people made history on Saturday attending a #NoKings USA rally! Americans are fed up with Trump/GOP! Trump is polling at 33% with Americans suffering from high costs from Trump/GOP’s war of choice in Iran, chaotic tariffs, elimination of healthcare subsidies!

No Kings is worth attending for the entertaining signs.

Finished my sign #NoKings

What is it going to take before the public wakes up? Global war? Loss of social media? A shortage of hair conditioner? www.theguardian.com/environment/...
