So they smashed up their delivery unit in week one, and they repeatedly smash up their delivery policy unit. But the problem is communication?

This is fascinating. More English people should learn more about this important part of the world. Me included.

A pint glass with Fuller’s logo. I think it’s a gryphon. Like a Lion with Wings. Dark amber beer in the glass.

Please help combat BBC news blackout of Green Party!
@zackpolanski.bsky.social was the only party leader not interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg during their party conference.
So please RT his cracking conference speech..

‘We used pattern recognition software’ wouldn’t generate the same clickbait

Large cactus style dahlia bloom with no stem. Bright pale orange colour. Spectacular

He’s taking the money and doing what he’s told

No but just looked him up and he seems interesting. Hill farmers are probably different from the massive arable farmers such as in East Anglia. The famous ones are all multi millionaires

And I am now following you

I’m probably being mean in the wrong context. Yes to your question. Nigel Farage, Jeremy Clarkson and others are all moaning, but they are all landowners who acquired the land for tax purposes. Small farmers are usually tenants of big landowners.

Ever more distinguished

And it’s a shame because it was otherwise a really interesting article. I planted one this year and have my first damson gin marinating now

It’s wrong because it’s factually incorrect. You are right that farm consolidation is a problem. But the tax change that only came in in April is not the cause. It’s populist bollocks

‘Closure of family farms due to inheritance tax doesn’t help’. Article written by political idiot.

‘Just add water’: how to bring back ancient plants in a Norfolk ghost pond An expert team are resurrecting ice age ponds and finding rare species returning from a ‘perfect time capsule’

Some hopeful weekend reading.

“This is nature’s emergency recovery mechanism. We’ve buggered almost everything up but this will still bring them back.”

Oxford people - tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 11.30 there is a gathering at the Holiday Inn Express near the Kassam Stadium to counter anti-refugee protesters.

Interesting. I didn’t know the RA history.

Well produced

The artist is the painter. Presumably in the Picasso as well?

Closed until April

This baffles me. It’s as easy as excluding students from the statistics. Why don’t they do it?

I agree to your points. Except maybe there could be a stamp duty reduction if the vendor is downsizing by at least say 25%. Then people would have an incentive to

Israel bombed a hospital.

Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded.

Israel bombed the hospital again. Live on TV.

Read that again.

Our government’s legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Equity release is funded by insurance companies rather than banks. But I agree it stops older people downsizing and props up prices, and keeps large properties largely empty
