I can’t figure out what he’s blathering on about here. As much as Brexit is a heap of shit, everyone wants to make the best of it either by going back in with trade agreements or by non eu trade agreements, both of which we could have done while in the EU but it’s done now. I think he’s saying bad immigration ( as in poor working class people ) is down but good immigration ( middle class educated) is up. But there doesn’t seem to be any point made; it’s just data

I like the idea but is this not public land being sold to private property developers? A rethink of road traffic flows in a modern context is fine until we end up making neighbourhoods really crowded with shoebox investment portfolio options

There’s a really good podcast episode in the new statesman’s channel called the Trappings of Western hyper liberalism, which is a discussion with John Gray whos done a book on it. I followed it almost, it covers so much ground but the jist of it is basically the liberal west is eating itself in the same way that Russian liberalism is crumbling and being consumed by the same forces which created it. The Russian tradition is basically to challenge the difficult issues of humanity, and the western one is to allow for them and come to some way of moving forward. But both are really struggling. It was a good listen

The link you provided does explain it. I don’t think calling them peadophiles is much of a contribution mate but that’s entirely up to you

i highly recommend Holst’s Planets, they play some every year. If you like science fiction films youll no doubt hear a million john williams or hans zimmer melodies

not going to lie, Greenford isnt chiswick by any stretch. He’s practically in uxbridge if he was caught at the rowdell road canal near the A40

 

honestly, ferrari is a clever bloke but he (or I) can’t honestly believe the crap he a) says or b) callers he fails spectacularly to challenge. Alot of them seem open goal.

JOB mystery hour at 11 is still the finest hour on radio, perhaps of all time, but at the same time each week.

 

We recently moved to the peak district from London after working there for our adult lives to this point, now 41. London is fine until you want more, at which point you realise its been sold and housing is so cheap up north if you can work out how to pay for it.

Weve been exploring the Peaks every weekend for a year on and off since we moved. But is there a secret drive you take near yours? The UK is so beautiful, but many of its popular spots are played out.

*The other 9/11

By Dan Hayes

Isilda Lang was just 23 when she came to Sheffield as a refugee from Chile in 1977. After travelling 12,000 miles from South America to the UK, arriving here must have been a big culture shock. But she came to love her adopted city, and it loved her back.

This isn’t an exaggeration for the sake of a neat start to this story: When Isilda passed away last year aged 68, after a long battle with cancer, 200 residents of Scott Road in the Burngreave neighbourhood where she made her home lined the street carrying daffodils.

In Chileans of the North, a documentary which tells the story of the hundreds of refugees who escaped General Augusto Pinochet’s military dictatorship and came to Sheffield in the 1970s, Isilda recalls her first impressions of the city.

 

LONDON, June 26 (Reuters) - Global energy demand rose 1% last year and record renewables growth did nothing to shift the dominance of fossil fuels, which still accounted for 82% of supply, the industry's Statistical Review of World Energy report said on Monday.

Last year was marked by turmoil in the energy markets after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which helped to boost gas and coal prices to record levels in Europe and Asia.

The stubborn lead of oil, gas and coal products in covering most energy demand cemented itself in 2022 despite the largest ever increase in renewables capacity at a combined 266 gigawatts, with solar leading wind power growth, the report said.

"Despite further strong growth in wind and solar in the power sector, overall global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions increased again," said the president of the UK-based global industry body Energy Institute, Juliet Davenport.

"We are still heading in the opposite direction to that required by the Paris Agreement."

It’s a bit unsettling tbh

 

all in the best possible taste!

 

would it be the tasty billionaire? Or perhaps go for an bit of flavour and choose la Francais? It would have to be raw, as a naked flame does consume a certain amount of oxygen.

Id go for the French guy.

 

Buotros, Boutros Ghaly.
