So, more flooding in Wales. Build more defences? Or is there something else we should be doing? Are the people brutalising the #JustStopOil protestors the same ones demanding for better flood defences? completely missing the floating white elephant in the flooded front room...🥴

Here's our last parody song about the #USElection2024. It's called "Bohemian Trumpsody" (based on the inimitable @QueenWillRock but with only six voices & no overdubs) & we've self-trolled in it as 'libtards' already, just to save folks time who might be offended 🎶🗳️🤞 👉youtu.be/YY_8WzcHqMQ

It’s as if none of the work on sustainable economies ever happened. Starmer bangs on about “growth” but growth of what, for whom, at what cost? Not all growth is good & as scientists concluded last week “In a world of finite resources, unlimited growth is a perilous illusion”.

Hey @Ed_Miliband, sorry to hear you are going up the CCS gum tree. Pretty certain that Solar/Wind/Battery is the right route. Have you considered @DaleVince Grass to Gas plan. Don't think it would replace our home heating needs, but for industries which can only use gas? 1/

Have you considered proposals to put heat storage next to obsolete thermal power stations? The heat from grid surplus is stored and generates steam for the existing plant when power is required. Low cost storage with grid facilities already in place.

A sadly unsurprising dip in today’s stats. We’ve been building health out of streets & baking pollution in. It’s a road we can’t afford, that takes us to a place we don’t want to live. We get what we build for, so let’s start building something better. theguardian.com/uk-news/arti…

This kind of thing happens all the time to people without the profile of KA to defend themselves. Bureaucracies prioritise one issue in a world where all sensible decisions are based on a balance of considerations. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio…

Until we actually get roots that don’t have cars driving on them cyclists will not be safe and cycling will not be embraced to the amount that it could be. Because sharing with cars is dangerous

Musk has lost his attempts to start a race war in the UK so he is now poisoning twitter. He needs to keep himself out of British politics. RT if you agree. #BlockMusk

Just a tiny number of the things we owned and the recent Tories sold off If I went back to 1980 and gave you the full list you’d feel sick about it None of us gained a thing except the super rich Inequality through the roof. #UKRiots

So wonderful to see the brilliant @YuanfenYang bring all her wit and wisdom with her into Parliament as an MP. The Rethinkers are in the House...
One of the founders of Rethinking Economics delivered her maiden speech in the UK Parliament last week as MP for Earley and Woodley @YuanfenYang mentioned Rethinking & how detached economic debate is from real world crises (But first watch her perfectly timed econ puns!)

Beautifully written.
I drove east into London on the A40 this afternoon. Light breeze, not too hot. London is always beautiful in the sunshine. Drove past Uxbridge. No riots, no looters, no cars overturned and ablaze, no sirens. Drove past Greenford. No riots, no looters, no cars overturned and ablaze, no sirens. Drove past Acton. No riots, no looters, no cars overturned and ablaze, no sirens. Parked in Westfield. There is sun, no sign of rain, but the full rainbow of humanity is here indoors. (They say they want their country back, but they actually want their empire back, the one their grandparents' generation lost. The Empire came home. And here we all are! ) The shop assistants everywhere were from every corner of the earth. The customers the same. Girls and boys, men and women, from every place in the world, peacefully going about their lives on a London Sunday in a cathedral to capitalism in Shepherds Bush. No shouting. No swearing. No mugging. No knifing. No looting. No burning. Just the world in one city under a giant glass roof in peace. Sometimes, you don't know how good you actually have it. When London is good, it's really bloody good. Most places in England are good, most of the time. Most people in England are good, no matter what the forces that seek to divide us want us to believe. I remember being broke and homeless 20 years ago this year, carrying my possessions in four bags and thanking God for my legs when I was deep in my material nadir. You already have your country. I already have my country. Both can be true. I don't want to take your job, unless I'm better at it. I don't want to put shariah in place over your head and in any case, the law in this country is about as close to shariah as I need. Why would I endanger that just to piss you off for some marginal gain? Think about it. We can get along. We are not enemies. Those grifters are fooling you, scamming you, and they're thick. They think 1+1=Foreigners. Their sums don't add up. They get tax breaks. Do you? Work it out. We aren't going anywhere and we won't roll over frightened like our parents did. We belong here. We ARE the British Empire. This is the legacy. It's not us you want your country back from. It's the foreign papers, the con artists who took COVID money, the scum who bought our water, the financial institutions who gambled away our future and made us pay for their next round of bonuses in an endless era of austerity. We didn't freeze old people to death. We didn't make food banks necessary. Cameron and Co did all that. We're just easy targets. A distraction. This is still a beautiful country. This is still a peaceful country. How about we find away to make it better for all of us:? Isn't London beautiful in the sunshine?

Southampton has a centuries-old tradition for providing safe refuge for those fleeing persecution, pestilence, oppression or natural disaster; Huguenots, Basque children, Ugandan Asians, Vietnamese, Hong Kongers, Syrians, Afghanis, Ukrainians... We're a proud city of sanctuary.
