Who told you that? Whereโ€™s the evidence that supports it? What if youโ€™ve been misled (deliberately or not)? When will you decide to update your beliefs to align with the facts? How will you feel after answering these questions honestly?

Lifetime of earnings not enough for UK workers to join wealthiest 10%, report says Research finds it would take average worker saving all their earnings for 52 years to match wealth of richest 10th of society

It would take the average UK earner 52 yearsโ€™ worth of earnings to join the richest 10%.

Up from 38 years in 2006-08. Rich buy political influence.

Govts help the rich. Bottom 20% pay higher proportion of income in than the richest 20%.

Inequalities obstruct economic growth, fuel social unrest.

Camping with the Stars - Old Bidlake Farm Before we start I have a confession to make. The title for this blog did not come from me. It comes from a conversation I had with a very dear friend of mine

Where are your nearest dark sky locations? My friends have an amazing place in Dorset oldbidlakefarm.co.uk/dark-skies/c...

Iโ€™m moving to part time as a photographer.
This means that my availability for professional photoshoots in my studio will be restricted. No more than 2 days a week.

Corfu May June 2025 We were fortunate enough to visit a friend in Corfu for a week or so. As is now becoming usual I carried my Sony RX10IV bridge camera because of its versatile lens (24 yo 600 mm equivalent zoom). We e...

The Sony RX10IV is such a good camera for travel because of the wide range of types of photography it is capable of capturing.

Here are some of the results from a recent trip to see a friend in Corfu.

For all the blanket coverage it's getting today you wouldn't know that fishing contributes a grand total of 0.03% to the UK's economy, or that it is absolutely dwarfed by many other sectors, like the live music industry, which have been badly hit by Brexit but are rarely even mentioned

Isnโ€™t it appalling that leading experts like professors @paulbehrens.bsky.social & @mikebernerslee.bsky.social find it next to impossible to get access to Gov ministers, whilst fossil fuel lobbyists meet with them every day๐Ÿ‘‡. Our system is broken.
