Morning ORCs, I'm going to do a digital detox for a bit.

Anyone else notice Melania's yellow dress and Camilla's blue dress were the colours of the Ukrainian flag?

I thought these things were carefully coordinated.

I don't know what's better. Mum has just been diagnosed but is terrified.

I'm glad they're looking after you both.

There's a lot of fear around at the moment, especially following Saturday.

At the moment it feels every kind word, or chat with someone at a bus stop is an act of rebellion.

We can all do that.

Yes, in case you missed it, the U.K. does have a big problem with free speech.

No, it’s not the problem Vance et al are talking about.

Entirely peaceful.

“Four of us were arrested - one LBD founder and three of our friends. At the time of writing they’re still being held on suspicion of ‘sending malicious communications’. What?? We’ve done dozens of projections before, often watched by the police”

Earth's ozone layer is healing thanks to international action, UN says

The Earth's protective ozone layer is healing and the hole should fully disappear in coming decades, the UN said Tuesday, hailing the success of concerted international action.

The Bright Side: Earth's ozone layer is healing thanks to international action, UN says

It's horrible, but until we can sort things out, hopefully with Europe, it's important.

I prefer to think of it as hanging on to the crumbling coat tails of the US l, while we get our own house in order.

That seems sensible to me.

Sometimes it's complete rage against the injustice of it all.

You don't think straight then and end up shaking afterwards.

Good for her.

Yesterday (13th September 2025) I found myself in London, camera slung over my shoulder, moving through a crowd I wasn’t there to join but to try and understand. That’s what I do: I observe, I photograph, and I try, however imperfectly, to make sense of the world in front of me.

I don't think Peter Mandelson is PM's biggest problem. The biggest problem is not standing up to the literal violent racism on our streets, supercharged by the richest man in the world, and threatening the very fabric of our society. If he and so many commentators can't see this, we're truly lost.

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.

English Roundabouts

They’re making the roundabouts great again
by painting the flag of St George
to keep our circular road systems safe
from the dark, satanic hordes.

What do they want? Patriotic junctions!
When do they want them? Before it’s too late.
Good old-fashioned English roundabouts,
as decreed by Alfred the Great.

Behold the sacred intersection,
this blessed plot, this septic isle.
English roundabouts for English people,
draped in red and white and bile.

St George is cross, as well he may be –
whipped-up hate, he’s seen before.
Give way to the right, the road signs rage,
and the far right most of all.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.

I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.

Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.
