Ditching the Lords? Think again . . . .
NEWS! Italy, East Germany, Bretagne France, all leaving the Euro zone!
Most mornings I’m up around 6am – Sundays included.
Radio 4 is particularly easy on the ear at this time of day.
So is it this channel that provides this astonishing scoop?
No.
It’s the rain-trails in the dirt of the van parked opposite.
I grab Klicky McKlikface (my camera – dunno, just seemed funny a few weeks ago)
It’s the SHAPE isn’t it – just LOOK at it.
Risking near certain death at the hands of partner who loves to sleep-in on Sundays, I fire-up Captain Bogey (my PC – dunno . . . just seemed . . . ), Firefox, Google, Maps and PhotoShop – then trace round the shape.
Next up the maps, and layer the tracing across Europe as we thought we knew it . . .
Something’s wrong isn’t it? Germany I know, Italy I know – but there’s a KNOB.
There’s a KNOB sticking out over there to the West.
Ahaa – the crafty buggers, BRETAGNE – of course.
So there you have it, the new shape of Europe, March 2017.
You heard it here first.
Night Agent
Brilliant series, let down by its final episode, which sort of imploded into mediocre.
Spring at last.
We managed 13° in Sunshine Friday (17/03) it felt like prising a door of possibilities open, just a hint. Cormorants drying their wings high up in a tree on the bank of the river Stour, where I live. That sun on the face – a real gift.
We’ve all been ‘running on empty’ for months.

Unbelievable
6pm news. 28.02.23 – Captain Sunak explains that N.Ireland is in the “Unbelievably unique” position of having access to EU markets, and UK markets.
Did anyone tell him that, without Brexit, so would the whole of the UK?
Speaking in Belfast today, the multi-millionaire was selling the ‘Windsor Framework’. Speaking of Windsor – wouldn’t you love to know the words exchanged between Ursula von der Leyen and King Charles?
Rip-off Britain
UK interest rates are too high and may need cut – Bank of England’s Tenreyro
Nope. No they’re not. 4.5 to 5% would be about ‘level’.
If the Buy-to-Let crowd are bailing then, well, good! (Renters being pushed out at record high as BTL landlords seek to sell).
Tough right now, but it’ll level out – the whole Housing association/ BTL situation is sickening. Homes are to live in. Prices are disgusting. And no council houses being built as a safety net.
What a bloody mess.
Shortfall of 330,000 workers in UK due to Brexit, say thinktanks
Offshore Windfarms
Guardian – 28-11-2022
Not good enough guys, not good enough by a long long way.
“where communities . . . .” needs rinsing out, the greatest percentage of objections always hark from those who cite ‘eyesore’ on the landscape or horizon – forget it! That chance, that argument has flown – no-one has the right to object to Windfarms on these farcical grounds alone.
But it’s bigger than that isn’t it? No 10 set to “allow” what the fuck? Are you saying they were disallowed previously? Unfuckingbelieveable.
Even a country’s Government shouldn’t have power over this – it’s the PLANET stupid!
