Do people know that Anthony Kiedis is retarded? Don’t get me wrong, Red Hot Chili Peppers is a great band and all, but Kiedis has maybe an 85 IQ tops. His lyrics are him just randomly putting words together. His autobiography (written by someone else) depicts a mentally retarded drug addict.

Being obnoxious, even hoping that someone had died painfully, is not, or should not be, a crime

Rowland Hilder 1905-1993
Described as the Turner of his generation, he lived most of his life in the Kingdom of Kent
The countryside around him inspired his artwork for a lifetime, and I am surrounded by these locations
Pictures taken today on one of the Cors/Fens on Anglesey that has both Dactylorhiza traunsteinerioides and D. Incarnata. Could this be the hybrid D. dufftii? @ukorchids @HardyOrchidSoc

The Free Speech Union’s latest investigative briefing reveals that ALL FIVE members of the Government’s working group tasked with defining “Islamophobia” — now rebranded as “anti-Muslim hostility” — have troubling links to Islamist organisations.
These include the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) and Muslim Engagement and Development (MEND), which successive governments since 2009 have refused to engage with due to their extreme views.
Baroness Gohir even tweeted in support of Hamas in 2014. Another member stood for the far-left, Islamist-supporting Respect Party.
In a free society, no religion should enjoy greater protection than others — nor be shielded from legitimate criticism and challenge.
Parliament abolished blasphemy laws in 2008. This Government risks reviving them for Islam alone, via the back door.
This group was stacked with members already sympathetic to such a definition.
With the Government yet to appoint a new Islamophobia tsar, there is deep cause for concern.

These shots of green-flowered helleborine Epipactis phyllanthes were taken last year on the Bucks/Herts border @ukorchids I was wondering which var they're likely to be. Does var degenera seem likely?
