Saw "I swear" a couple of weeks ago and "Nuremberg" tonight. We have some excellent producers at the moment. I would recommend both movies if you can.

I went to see "I swear" yesterday. It really brings my thoughts to society being more inclusive and open to understanding differences in people. I hope it gets many views but I suspect it may not.

I think it could be important right now to foi the amount central government gives each local authority, then aggregate it to a per person basis.
Politico: Kent County Council controlled by Reform UK, 'is likely to raise council tax rates next year after its cost-cutting “DOLGE” program struggled to find savings, the FT reports. Council Cabinet member Diane Morton said local services were already “down to the bare bones”'
Exactly as warned.

Quick question: Is there any of my followers who lives near W9 and might have a cool room for the next few days for me to stay during the day and work ? Apparently there is another heatwave coming and the boat gets a bit sauna-ish when it’s over 30s…Happy to pay for it as well. #Followerpower
