Good.
Do not let book banning be a normal thing. It’s abhorrent & destroys perspective & critical thinking. It shows that those in power think you’re too stupid to make your own judgement of right & wrong. That your weak minds will be tainted by alternative ways of living, thinking or loving.
Thank goodness they spotted it. There used to be a TB Sanitarium in my village which scared me as a child.
I admit that an amount of people suffer serious side effects, even fatalities, but those are the exceptions to the rule.Millions are protected by them during the pandemic my friends’ parents died, it was a lethal illness.I felt safer with the vaccine. Now it’s political. Anyone got statistics?
Get rid of these Right Wing bosses who decide the BBC will deliver a RW bias of “ news” & political commentary favouring Farage over Ed Davey or the Green party.
#Seaweed farms are a dual solution for climate change & sustainable energy. - don't require freshwater, fertilizer, or arable land to grow, making it one of the most eco-friendly resources - naturally absorbs massive amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis helping 1/...
It was love at first sight!! Many years ago!! Mercedes SL500 AMG in matte grey. So elegant & incredibly powerful.
Do you know the statistics, because i don’t, all I do know is thousands upon thousands of children’s lived have been saved. Polio was a seriously prevalent disease in the 1950s leaving children crippled & wearing iron callipers. TB kept people encased in iron lungs. I remember this.
Perhaps I should get that one. I’ve had shingles & flu jabs.
A local farmer created a fairy home in an ancient tree. My great niece was enchanted!
Since launching England’s first Violence Reduction Unit in 2019, our work on violence prevention is making a real impact.

I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.

Every news story about asylum hotels should end with "Labour have halved the numbers and have ambitions to stop using hotels by end of parliament" Would that help?
Divisive and lazy. Quite a combination. ‘One Reform politician, Councillor Dean Truder (Swanley in Kent), has yet to go to a single meeting.’ hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/21/r...

The racist & incompetent Reform Party get more coverage because they do bad stuff. Goody goody people working to save planet or make a fairer society is, apparently, not “ news.
The party on the left has 72 MPs - more than any liberal party has had for 100yrs. party on right has been around a tiny fraction of that time & has just 4 seats. Greens also have 4 - more than ever 72 v 4 v 4 Demand fairer coverage now Sign and pass on.. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

"Wisdom" is an incredibly useful framework through which to view AI, as distinct from "knowledge," "calculation" or something as hopelessly vague as "intelligence."
The late, great Freddie used to stand on his hind legs & pluck the plums off a tree in our orchard. When he died tragically young from cancer, we lay his body to rest, wrapped in his blankey, with his favourite toy, under that tree. Peaceful & close to us always.

Support for Labour is paper thin, their election victory last year was based on less than 34% of the popular vote. The @libdems.org.uk could become the progressive choice with policies free of political dogma and vested interests. A people focused compassionate politics. news.sky.com/story/lib-de...

There is a far right, anti-refugee protest being planned for next weekend, apparently to involve/protest outside, a residential centre for unaccompanied refugee children. I’ve sent an email to my MP Helen Whately……..
Fantastic!

Vitally important. The ECHR is there to protect us all from bad actors ( not Nicholas Cage) in our own government. Situations as we see developing in the states & once saw in 1930s Germany. To protect the people from malignant rulers.
FGS #R4Today re a potential withdrawal from the #ECHR, the level of debate is poor. This is not about immigration. It protects ALL UK cits from those in power, whoever they are. This is a campaign by bad actors to Take Back Control from Us so they can do what they please. Fear them!! #Butterflies
They strike at military & war supporting targets, while Russia bombs civilian targets like schools & hospitals & homes. One is war the other is terrorism.
Ihave a very hard working lib dem MP in my Dorset constituency. He battles on behalf of our local farmers, nhs, clean beaches, transport & other topics which matter to us. He actually replied to a letter of mine. Lib Dems are the best party right now.
Hush… what’s that sound? Can it really be? The Liberal Democrats are coming! @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social

I live in one of the most multicultural areas of the UK and there is rarely a day where I'm not positively impacted by that - whether it's delicious food, really good local businesses or my incredibly kind neighbours. I'm not saying this as a political statement, more just a reality of my life.
This is so beautiful.

Facts are facts...
I’m a proud, life-long Catholic. God didn’t arm the Minneapolis shooter, politicians did. Nothing that has been reported about the cause points to religion. It does point to a dangerous individual having easy access to weapons. Let’s stop hiding behind religion to excuse the preventable.
Gun violence is the number one cause of children’s deaths in America. How horrific is that? America in not a war zone, but obviously with people using assault rifles to slaughter innocents at prayer, it might as well be. You should ban guns in shame.
Gun violence is the #1 cause of death among children in this country. This is a policy choice made by people who hypocritically profess to be “pro-life,” the same people who have increased maternal mortality and refuse to feed children or provide them healthcare. We don’t have to live like this.
Thank you. I did have a lovely day with my husband & older son.

Hey God👋 did you see how Australia did a successful buy back program? Well of course you did 😅 The old argument they trot out that “there are just too many” is invalid. It can be done.
If Trump did one good thing, banning guns, I might forgive him somewhat. Obviously he’ll never do that, but his dictator’s powers seem to permit him doing all sorts of unimaginable things, so why not this?
Shut it. Do not open your meaningless mouth, if your first thought is, “Thoughts and Prayers!” Today’s mass shooting is brought to you by the Republican Party. Get the damn guns off our streets! #Voices4Victory #Pinks #DemVoice1
Fab birthday breakfast in bed of waffles with maple syrup topped with strawberries. Train up to London for dinner with my older son & his gf, and my husband. Sam’s Riverside, superb food from an excellent menu & suitably birthdayish cocktails!
That is simply beautiful. The passing years spent together as the world changes & you both grow older but still in your loving marriage.
Just a friendly reminder that your desire to have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is valid. Don’t allow anyone to disrespect you by telling you otherwise.
None of this is easy. Be gentle with yourself and others.

My ancestors came over from the Low Countries, with the wool trade to Romney Marsh, this was in the 16th Century. My maternal line stayed there in Kent and their name from de Fuegel changed to Fuggle & the famous hop bears that name. One of six brothers, my Grandfather won the DCM & the MM in WW1.
Aww, that is so wholesome. I am hopeful for that the next generation of kids. #biology #conservation www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Saw a woman cooing into her pram & it was a bloody Chihuahua!! ffs!??
It is. We need immigrants.They work & pay taxes. I bet half the far right protesters are on benefits. I think there should be a poll to find out!
Goodness. You are brave!
The BBC Board should be apolitical. Nandy should have sorted this out on day 1.
Wonderful to see this story about two 13 yr old girls breeding harvest mice in their garage & releasing them into the wild. More teenagers need to help the natural world.

Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit 451) “You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”
Radio 4 calls it “balance,” but giving Reform UK endless airtime isn’t journalism, it’s amplification. The BBC isn’t holding them to account, it’s polishing the megaphone while the far right shouts through it. Who’s making these editorial decisions?
As is only right & proper!
Gorgeous! Love these dogs.
