HANGING BASKETS

Cut old shirts cloth heading for landfill to fit the basket. Line with newspaper, then soil. Voila – that easy, and saves £3-5 each. It works or has done for last 3 years.

CALLOUS AND NASTY

Our compassion for refugees was shredded by Brexit and the narrative of the Daily Mail, Express, Telegraph. A Conservative party that has moved towards UKIP in a cynical move to win votes has no place for empathy or sympathy and certainly not charitable actions.

JUBILEE

I received 2 flyers this morning telling me to buy tickets and a wristband with dates £2 by 26March; £5 by 1June and £10 2 June and at gate. I will leave them to discuss the Daily Mail and the tribunes of royal paedophiles and misfits. I will work on a republican menu for the day.

CORRUPT

So the government is giving companies 30 days to get funds out before sanctions, oligarchs get 6 months and they have inserted a clause that individuals maybe exempt if ‘it is in the interests of the economic well being of the UK”. In simple economic terms it is not in our interests to impose sanctions at all – corruption on an industrial scale.

GLOBALISATION

There have been many benefits from globalisation. My world is very different and mainly better than the world I was born into. This is also true across the world with the % living in poverty way below that of 50 years ago. However with benefits have come detriments. The lack of regulation that benefits trade has also meant the development of economies based on unicorns and fairies.
