Demolition of Thorpeness home threatened by costal erosion begins Workers are demolishing the home in Thorpeness after the cliff edge got to within 5m.

Thorpeness, just a short distance from Sizewell!
"It is devastating to see but time & tide will wait for no-one"..."the rate at which the coast was eroding was "horrifying".
Surely it's time for a major re-think of risking £bns of public funds on Sizewell C

I did ask one of them to tell me a policy of Reform's that didn't involve immigration and that was is actual reply.

Just had a little chat with the Reform Party in Lowestoft High Street. The take-away was when Mummery (Lowestoft Reform candidate) said, and I quote, "He's (Farage) the Messiah"
so I replied "...and I'm Pontius Pilate".

Two dangerous terrorists arrested in Trafalgar Square yesterday.

No surprise - the North Sea continues to erode the coast in front of the Sizewell C site & now appears to be less than 20 metres from the site boundary where the temporary sea defences are being constructed. Sizewell C - a #climatechange casualty, not a solution

Cabbage rose, 1580s. By Jacques le Moyne de Morgues, French immigrant artist living in England. Today is his day.

'Sizewell C oak tree felling would be devastating', say residents Middleton locals urge Sizewell C to think twice before considering cutting down 10 century-old oaks.

"They [Sizewell C] say it will be done on an ad hoc basis when they have got the saws out...We just want them to stop & think before they go ahead & do, because these oaks would still be here long after Sizewell C is decommissioned"

The finest response I've seen so far.

No surprise that Rupert Lowe has allowed this event to go ahead. Will the press jump on this as much as Kneecap and Bob Vylan?

My kitchen window faces my neighbour's kitchen window. Sometimes I want to drink leftover gravy straight from the jug but I don't want my neighbours to look in and judge me, so I squat on the floor out of view.

Great Private Eye article. "In the case of Sizewell C, the new French nuclear power station recently given the go-ahead, ministers simply ignored the strictures of the planning authorities and regulators."

"Sizewell C clearly believe they can do as they see fit with our heritage coast, national landscape & designated wildlife sites irrespective of the damage they will cause – this govt, the largest shareholder in Sizewell C, must be challenged on this." #SayNo2SizewellC www.eadt.co.uk/news/2539117...

1,000 litres of “BLOOD” spills from a Shell platform in the North Sea.

Activists just installed a giant piece of protest art by world-famous artist Anish Kapoor to symbolise the DAMAGE oil giants like Shell are inflicting on people and planet.

I hadn't noticed this section of a BBC article on Hinkley Point C from December 2023.

The quoted analyst makes the same calculations I previously have and comes to the same answer – the EPR nuclear reactors being built at Hinkley Point and proposed for Sizewell are ruinously expensive

It was my first moment in print and responsible for igniting and inspiring my continuing journey's in design, publishing and protest.

As a kid, both the Barsham Faires and The Waveney Clarion had a profound impact on me. At 12 yrs old Clarion legend Mick Sparksman (creator of the Coypu cartoons), commissioned me to illustrate some riot police from the infamous SPG (you know, the one's who killed Blair Peach) for the newspaper.

Here's an early chance to buy the long-awaited book 'Clarion Calling' which documents the illustrious history of one of the most important print publications our area has ever seen.

John Singer Sargent's "Man and Pool", 1917, at the @metmuseum.org 😁

I saw a scream of 25 having a ball above a deserted area of my home town, Lowestoft yesterday. I've been following a lonely gang of 3 in the skies here all summer. I was so surprised and happy I joined in the melee and starting screeching. Until a single dog walker came along and eyed me warily.

It was jumping, and I think the standard lamp made it through the set.

Ooh my word (waft's fan excitedly), did you photocopy it?

All British life is at Glastonbury - except Nigel Farage... The pastoral quilt of glamping tents and a VIP backstage area reflect the UK's increasing disparities. Can the idealistic city hold out against the hyper...

For The Observer, I’ve written about where Glastonbury sits within not just an increasingly corporate festival scene, but also wider British culture, and whether it can hold on to its countercultural roots in a live music industry in crisis

Heh heh hehehee

Hahahaa. The first time I went to my grandfather’s Irish home in Newport, I was shocked that a lot of the males I met there were called either Michael or Peter Gibbons. I hope the fella you pass met a good end.

Yeah I’m good. Home in Suffolk still messing about with ink and paper.

I’d forgotten all about them. It was something Bono did (obviously) that spurred it I think.
