What would Jesus do? Get pepper sprayed like the rest of us, standing up to oppression.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Here’s something beer related! I spent most of my Saturday cutting together a video I shot at @sirencraftbrew.bsky.social’s time hops festival and it’s a fun two min watch in the documentary style. Give it a watch over on Instagram:

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

If you shop at Waitrose you can find my article on the history of pubs in the October edition of their magazine, which is out now. It won't be online, so if you fancy a few quail eggs, or perhaps a rosemary and potato sourdough loaf, consider grabbing the mag for a gander while you're in.

The UK faces a future of rising drought risk - yet regulators allow water firms to neglect their responsibilities to build infrastructure, fix leaks, continuing a system with poorly monitored water use, rewarding high use, writes Watershed's @rachelsalvidge.bsky.social

No one sums up the utter shamelessness of the British press and the ugly politics of Farage quite like Private Eye.

EXCLUSIVE TO ALL NEWSPAPERS

POWDER KEG UK ABOUT TO BLOW UP AS BRITAIN STANDS ON THE BRINK OF THE WHOLE NATION DESCENDING INTO CIVIL WAR

by Our Apocalypse Staff
HELENA HANDCART

THE entire country has turned into a tinderbox, one spark and the whole thing could turn into a raging inferno of hatred and violence. All it needs is one little push - preferably from us - and this once peaceful island will explode.
It may not take much, maybe an article with some badly researched facts, maybe some exaggerated and provocative hyperbole, and before we know it there'll be blood on the streets, and flames too, as millions of furious citizens attack each other, the police, and the emergency services,
not to
mention the armed forces should they tragically be called in to deal with the hate-filled mob rampaging through our cities, towns and villages, armed with burning torches and pitchforks, calling for justice, free speech and the immediate death of everyone they don't like. (Top journalism, Ed).
Make no mistake, if Britain even exists by next week, we will run this piece again until someone sparks the tinderbox on the brink of the powderkeg that... (cont. for entire summer).

Only one problem.

Sad news from Elgood's Brewery. I met Scruffy a few times on visits to see Head Brewer Alan Pateman.

Her appearance on the wort cooler during an IBD brewery tour will live on. RIP 🐈‍⬛🌈

Russia struck a civilian bus in the Sumy region, killing three women aged 66, 74, and 78.

Just like that. A bus. No reason, no military justification. Pure terrorism.

Not. A. Victim. Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of sexually abusing children. Yes. Children. She herself. That was in addition to recruiting grooming for Jeff Epstein.

It beggars belief that this keeps happening. No wonder we’re broke, our governments keep letting themselves get ripped off by private companies over and over again

Doug Parr @dougparr.bsky.social · Jul 23

Britain has saddled itself - or more accurately, UK govt has saddled Britain's consumers - with paying for the most expensive nuclear plant ever

And I'm bored of saying it, but that means other more cost-effective & faster action on climate change will not happen

At @fightingdirty.bsky.social, we sued over this issue, and lost on the grounds that the Environment Agency couldn't be in breach because the government had issued no direction. An absurdity, which means that poisons continue to be spread on farmland every day. 🧵
