@roddreher People in Britain believe what they are told. No-one can fix this until someone can switch off the TV.

@Andercot Man, I got beaten to the punch here for the @Jringo1508 quotes, by John Ringo himself.

@tomhfh Keir Starmer is not going to listen to heartfelt pleas @SenJohnKennedy. His loyalties lie elsewhere. The only thing you can do is ridicule. You were right the first time.

@AnEriksenWife Religious or not, the simple fact is that you need to take time out from work stuff. No reason why that shouldn't be Sunday.

“Israel is an eternal people. Members of that chosen race first gained their inheritance with the faithful in the pre-mortal life. Israel was a distinct people in pre-existence. Many of the valiant and noble spirits in that first estate were chosen, elected, and foreordained to be born into the family of Jacob, so as to be natural heirs of all of the blessings of the gospel” -- Bruce R McConkie

@p_feif80 The elms are gone, the ashes are on their way out (we had to take down a big one last year). Several sycamores debarked; unknown cause. If you can save another species.... I hope this has as much import as you hope.

@RupertLowe10 Exactly. Inheritance tax is nothing but disrespect to any hard working Briton trying to save for their grandkids' future. Imagine what this country would look like; how much better off subsequent generations would be, if folks could have passed it forward the last 100 years.

@yuanyi_z British governments have been the butt of a joke for a long time; where everyone else hasn't followed laws and regulations that we have then stupidly gone along with. It happened all the time when we were in the EU; how else do you explain milk sold on the streets in Greece?

@Erdayastronaut Great that they're putting together such learning opportunities about space, rockets and exploration.

@ENortonHistory The ladies of Leek did some excellent work
A (rather old) video that shows the interior, stained glass, hand-painted decor and a display of local embroidery and weaving. Leek was well known during the period for its high quality, exquisite dyes, particularly Raven Black which required the water of the River Churnet to be produced. Thomas Wardle who owned dye works in the town, collaborated with William Morris; was knighted by both Queen Victoria and the French government for services to the silk industry; and Oscar Wilde paid tribute to his work.

@OldHollowTree Is there an empty building opposite that you can appropriate to start a real co-operative that offers actual needed goods such as prop wash, 8/16 wrenches or cable stretchers?

@michael_diamant It's a step in the right direction, although the stripped back look usually makes it feel like the Head Office of a Law firm or Accountants. I agree it needs more detail and ornamentation to feel like a home.
