Lovely painting though - and at least you have all those photos to remind you.

Not at all - it’s really beautiful: the water, the bird, the light. Lovely!

A fair price to the public for water nationalisation | Letter Letter: The government is wrong on the cost of bringing water back into public ownership, write Prof Becky Malby, Dr Kate Bayliss, Prof Frances Cleaver and Prof Ewan McGaughey

UK govt is wrong on the cost of bringing England's water back into public ownership.

Its £100bn number has no economic/legal basis.

The cost of public ownership is "closer to zero".

Companies are bankrupt, their shareholders and lenders have already extracted billions.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

World Cannot Recycle Its Way Out of Plastics Crisis, Report Warns

8 billion tons of plastic waste ....

"The world churns out more than 200 times as much plastic today as it did in 1950, and production is only rising."

Yet fossil proliferation keeps going 🧐
