Almost at 200,000 signatures and still 11 days left until the debate in parliament.
How fantastic would it be to that over 250,000 by the end of next week?
We are going to pass 200K signatures soon. You can be part of ending the privatised water scam; please sign and share widely.
This will be debated in Parliament on 14 September - is your MP going? This is the link 👇👇👇

The Coldstream Guards Band performed Black Sabbath's masterpiece Paranoid outside of Buckingham Palace as a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne on the day of his funeral. Don't let anybody tell you this isn't a great country.

The beautiful light of this autochrome casts an ethereal aura around the crocheting child. Her name was Hélène Gélibert (niece of the Lumiere brothers, who invented the autochrome colour process). It was taken 115 years ago in the Monplaisir district of Lyon in France, in the glow of 1910. It is original colour (not colourised).

He has now been moved to an open prison & she is terrified he is soon to be released…

Gisèle Pelicot is on the stand today and asked about her decision to continue using the surname "Pelicot".
Gisèle explains that when the trial began her children were "ashamed" of the name.
She adds: "I have grandchildren who are called that.
"Today, I want them to be proud of their grandmother.
"My name is known across the world now. They shouldn't be ashamed of carrying that name.
"Today we will remember Gisèle Pelicot."
Yes we will. What a woman.

#OnThisDay 1975: How is a stick of rock made? Children’s TV series Watch explored the manufacture of that most British of treats. Sit back, switch your brain off and enjoy some confectionery fun.

How can calling for a ceasefire be controversial? It’s literally asking people killing civilians to stop. You can ignore the calls, disagree with them or try to explain why the killing ‘must’ continue, but trying to silence calls to end this carnage goes against all our values.

The Israel-Palestine conflict is not a game, where you root for one team to win and the other to lose. It’s something much more tragic: the clash of two just causes. Latest column theguardian.com/commentisfre…

There has been much discussion about the likely failure of Thames Water in the last day or so. I’ve been looking at the accounts of England’s water companies for the last twenty years. My conclusion is that they are all environmentally insolvent. So, a thread…..
