The list so far this year.
G7 makes historic agreement
G7 agree new tax laws on major TNC’s in this BBC story. Can they stick to it? It will probably need G20 approval before adoption. I think I am correct in stating that Ireland will lose out in a major way? UK has already watered down the % from 21% to 15%. And the Sunday Express headlines that this is all UK governments doing (Biden might disagree!).
MINT COCKTAILS
TIPPING POINTS – CLIMATE CHANGE
Research this for yourself as it is not pleasant reading!
CLIMATE CHANGE
Forget Covid. That was a blimp. This is the mega problem – not inevitably a disaster, but probably. G7 will meet amongst the seagulls inn Cornwall this summer. I do not particularly care about the economic bollocks they agree. Whether they actually agree something substantial and verifiable could. be momentous. But then I woke up!
I just hope the seagulls take out some drones and shit on the smug bastards!
PAXTON SMITH – I SALUTE YOUR BRAVERY AND CONVICTION
Yet again it is left to a young person, and female (although I did not want to be anti-male), to stand and be counted on issues of importance. Paxton Smith is the valedictorian student of her year at a high school in Texas – i.e. well clever! And was allowed to make a speech of her choosing due to this. Her speech was made about the horrible and vindictive laws about abortion made by the Republican legislature in Texas. I salute you!
SHAMBLES OF THE WEEK
Shapps has made a strong play with moving countries in and out of colour zones like it was a game. Williamson, despite getting lacky Nick Gibbs, to take the flak, remains a hot favourite yet again. First contract given to a Dutch company for tutoring – why? I have yet to see a sensible proposition from anyone in government as to how to help children. A tongue in cheek suggestion of appointing Marcus Rashford to Education Minister is not so silly!
RECIPE TIME – PESTO AND OTHER HERBS
BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
My front garden which was a barren lawn .
Mints going out in pots – just another 15 to go! together with other herbs and flowers.
