I think he is on dodgy ground. There are two IF’s here; if he lied to Parliament he should resign; if he created a situation whereby civil servants felt they had to override a security check he should resign. If however he merely made an error of judgement the press should shut up! Political turmoil is not what we need as a country right now – Farage and Badenoch and their clans can hardly speak without lying – if their lips are moving they are telling lies!

Meanwhile in the UK hundreds protested regarding an alleged gang rape of a woman who left a night club between 2am and 4am. Commendable community response and concern? Or was the large turn out a result of racism? Statistically it is likely that nearly 50% of the male protesters (it was mainly men protesting) were known to the police for domestic violence. Rape of any form is serious and should be prosecuted regardless of the nationality or status of the perpetrators – however society has double standards- or no standards when it comes to sexuality. No Epstein perpetrators have been prosecuted – indeed I heard one knuckle dragger profess that Epstein and Andrew M-W were ‘just having a bit of fun”. Is there hope for my 3 granddaughters? Youth club discos where the room would be split between girls and boys with just a few brave (or over confident) souls dancing in the middle are long gone. Boys watch hours of semi-violent porn (at best) instead of communication with others. Schools are becoming mental institutions to cope with the mental problems of children deprived of wholesome childhoods. That was bit of a rant! Related to this topic – councils are now charging for fun runs in parks and yoga sessions. For fucksake – not everything has to be monetised; councils are under extreme pressure to cut costs – they could start with having a maximum wage of £80000. Children need to be able to play. My local park is locked due to “dog walkers allowing their dogs to shit” which I find unlikely in my village where a turd is unusual on the pavement., tennis is only available in private clubs, swimming pools have become rare and expensive. Even football and rugby clubs demand a sub. Local beaches are surrounded by parking meters and fees. Only the air that we breathe is free (although polluted if near fagash Farage!

Wet today but sunny weather on its way – hopefully my tomato seeds will germinate. More hanging basket plants have just arrived.

First brimstone butterflies were seen in the garden last saturday and every day since. Definitely a spring like few days – temperatures upto 17C although chilly at 6am! Hopefully a resurgence of wildlife will follow.

Politics -Israel is killing as many people as possible before world opinion forces them to stop. Trump’s anti-terror chief resigns as public opinion in the USA turns against the war more strongly. Even Badenoch referred to the POTUS as childish! The Guardian does an expose on Farage and his fascist rhetoric and videos. Do many people know that Farage is owner of Reform plc, it is a private company masquerading as a political party? In general the voters in the UK have lost confidence in Parliament and Westminster. The government with its temporary huge majority should introduce PR and other rules relating to political donations and attendance in constituencies and Parliament itself. Reform seems to have peaked at 29% of the electorate. I guess it will be interesting to see how they get on in the council elections in areas where they control the councils!

Starmer is talking bullshit when he says no one is above the law. The sovereign in the UK has for years ensured that certain laws do not apply to the Royal Family and estates. Mandleson and Andrew have been accused of passing confidential information to Epstein and others – but no prosecution. Abuse of the system is funded by ‘consultants’ who manipulate the system for those who can afford it. The Mansion Tax should be increased, and Royalty included – the Crown is making shed loads out of off shore wind power. Being rich and powerful is a passport to law avoidance. How many times do the police stop and breathalise out side golf clubs and other establishments.

I understand that there will be right wing demonstartions outside many asylum hotels today. the police will be busy, but hopefully they will arrest lots and give their poor partners a night off from abuse! We will recognise the people – lots of muscle and tattoos, a lot of searing and abuse. They will be violent to the police – who are there to prevent criminal activity. These people are too thick to realise the hypocrisy and stupidity of their actions.

Meanwhile – JDVance will visit London which he says ‘Is not English anymore” – neither is America! He should just fuck off, The USA Ambassador to Israel has also condemned Starmer for wanting to recognise Palestine, whilst also reverting to incredibly childish remarks about Dresens bombing in WWII – which many historians see as a huge mistake, possibly a war crime? Why Americans think they have a right to tell us what to think is ridiculous.

Meanwhile – Labour MP’s and Cabinet members have rental property whist claiming a philosophical allegiance to the poor, and working class people. FM – they include the Chancellor and the Foreign Secretary. I have nothing against landlords, but … anyone claiming to be a socialist should not be making money from unearned income (I know that many landlords work hard to create … actually I don’t). They should resign! Lammy has cossied up to Vance in a ridiculous manner – is he supporting his attitude on abortion clinics, London, free speech? We need to know. Should I be kind to him because he is black – so is Kemi Badenoch – and Jenrick, Tice, Farage at heart!

I am planning on growing some roses from hips – let me know if you want some and if they are successful you can have some.
