This is spectacularly poor crowd control and a failure of any close protection

Why this story matters today
Every time:
• The Fed changes interest rates
• Prints emergency stimulus
• Bails out a bank
• Talks inflation or recession…
It’s executing a plan conceived in secrecy by unelected bankers on a private island over a century ago.

I’ve reported 18 wars over 35 years. I’ve been shot at, kidnapped, threatened, nearly raped. I’ve lost friends from Sarajevo to Syria. I thought I’d seen the worst of humanity. I was wrong. Nothing compares to Gaza — or the complicity letting it happen.

My father's favourite film. He once went missing on a business trip to Birmingham.. turned out the client had cancelled (this is long before mobile phones), and he'd gone to "the flicks" ... watched two showings of it back to back. My sister named her first dog Zhivago.

This scene always brings tears to my eyes.
Just a reminder, keep fighting Nazis and Fascism, always.
From Casablanca (1942), of course.

Word of the day is 'umbriphilous': shade-loving.
Typically used of plants but readily transferable to humans and animals.

"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen." Your Tues morning broadcast from the Ministry of Truth.
1. "We have blocked unfair multi-million pound bonuses for water executives." Which was a waste of time as WCs simply doubled CEO's salaries.
2. "passed new laws so bosses can face up to two years in prison for sewage offences". Blatantly untrue. There is no such thing as "sewage offences", the only, and ONLY offence is "impeding [an] investigation", not dumping humongous amounts of sewage, not ripping off your customers, only, and only, "impeding [an] investigation".
3. "A record 81 criminal investigations into water companies have been launched in England since the election." Blatantly untrue. All of that relates to an @EnvAgency investigation which began on the 18th Nov 2021 2 years and 7 months BEFORE THE ELECTION.
4 "This will cut sewage pollution in half by 2030 as a major staging post towards cleaning up our rivers". Which isn't nearly as good as the target announced by @Ofwat just over 1 year ago. Ho hum.
But hey, at least there's no nonsense about £104bn private sector investment or £100bn to nationalise the water industry so I suppose it is kind of progress.

Black Sabbath - The Ballet is returning to the UK this Autumn, and what a privilege it is to tell this story.
Throwback to opening night with Sharon Osbourne and Tony Iommi 🖤

Everyone should listen to @carolynporco … this alien spaceship stuff is completely out of hand - it’s OVERWHELMINGLY likely to be a lump of ice and rock. We went through similar nonsense with the ‘LHC might create a black hole and destroy the world’ fiasco. There is value in thinking about highly unlikely possibilities of course - and it can be fun to publish a paper or two on them - but some people who are not scientifically / statistically literate really worry about these things when they read about them out of context in the press or on social media.

"A nationally significant water shortfall is gripping England".
You'd never believe water companies have had 35 years to plan for this but then again there's always been a plan, the one that was cheapest for WCs, drain ever river in the country dry, and now they're running out of river, "the Wye and the Great Ouse at Ely, were at their lowest on record for July".
And the biggest scandal of all, the @EnvAgency sat back and approved all of this.

According to the Watson School of International and Public Affairs in Rhode Island, more journalists have been killed in Gaza than in both world wars, the Vietnam war, the wars in Yugoslavia and the war in Afghanistan combined.

There is "growing evidence" journalists in Gaza have been "targeted and killed by the Israeli army on the basis of unsubstantiated claims that they were Hamas terrorists" according to Irene Khan, UN special rapporteur on freedom of expression.

Israel just bombed an murdered the entire Aljazeera staff in Gaza city:
Correspondents Anas Al Sharif @AnasAlSharif0 and Mohammad Qreiqei, killed.
Cameramen Ibrahim Dhaher and Mo’men Aleiwa, killed.
Crew driver, Mohammad Nofal, killed.
All murdered in an Israeli bombing of their TENT stationed by Al-Shifa hospital.
This means, a commander gave the order, and others executed it. This should be tracked and made public, who killed the journalists.
It wasn’t just a bomb. It was its manufacturer, and the Israeli commanders that are giving the order, and the soldiers saying yes and conducting the strike.
All of these murderers need to be made public by name. Israeli state violence is made by people.

Two Suffolk farmers living next to a former bomber base used GPS to draw the shadow of a B-17 Flying Fortress onto one of their fields that lay under the base' former flight path, then ploughed it with a tractor to create this striking temporary artwork! 🙌 🚜

Grieving the loss of one of my best friends, Jim Lovell. His extraordinary legacy is cemented by many space missions: Gemini VII, Gemini XII, Apollo 8 and Apollo 13.
Our mutual respect had no limits. The Gemini XII mission we flew together paved the way for the Apollo missions.
Heartfelt condolences to Jim’s family.
Farewell Jim. You will be missed, my friend. Godspeed!
