Hugely relieved no-one was injured. Rather than talking about reducing peaceful protest, I'd love it if we focussed on reducing violent, extremist dicks attacking places of worship.

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

Michaelmas morning and the first latchet of heavy light was seeping over the downs. Along the quiet chalk lanes and the old Roman roads, edged with teasels and burnt dock and tall purple daisies, came the Newcomer.
A fox of the North wind, teller of tales, righter of wrongs, bringer of deep autumn and the golden tide of the high angels of harvest. His wagon was gold too, and the clear blue of September skies and the startling red of rose hips. Above him, the hawks cried and made their circles, tours known to heaven, as old as the earth.

This reminds of the time the British meat lobby monstered Blue Peter for accurately telling kids that eating less beef was one of the best things they could do to reduce their personal warming impact, and the BBC caved and replaced this advice with unevidenced meat industry talking points

It's late September and we've made a keg of wheat beer, so this weekend we'll be having a small Octoberfest at the taproom. Usual hours: 2-8pm, Saturday and Sunday.

A flight of beers lined up on the bar, with one of team Clarkshaws smiling behind the counter, and brewing vessels, glasses, bottling equipment and hoses in the background.

UK brewers, take note: a record-hot summer has slashed Challenger and Fuggles hop yields by as much as 60%. While prices may stay steady, shortages could force recipe adjustments—and growers warn the stress could affect next year’s crop too.
