Norwich aerial - a city of rivers, spires & stories.
Built on the River Wensum, it grew rich from weaving, shoes, mustard & engineering.
Today it’s famed for its skyline of medieval churches - more than any city north of the Alps.

Oh look. There really are "no go areas" in England.
And they're marked by St George's flags

NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’

BBC is in the same bag as The National Trust - under constant attack from the right who don't want to eliminate them, but replace them with a version that is friendly to their causes and opinions.
This is happening in the US with public bodies being consumed by populist parasites.

I mean, it's nice to feel that you are attractive to people you care about and to feel comfortable in your own body, but being made of beef and having a 24 hour horn isn't the be all and end all of travelling through your life on this earth in a masculine body. Wellbeing is much more than that

One small bit of resistance the media and pundits could use here: just call it (as Sunder does) ‘the World Cup’ and never ‘the FIFA World Cup’. Don’t mention FIFA.
FIFA have invented a new Fifa peace prize (presumably so they can be given to Trump at the World Cup draw!). They say it will be bestowed on behalf of the football fans of the world. The idea Fifa do this in our name should be mocked out of existence that weekend at stadia around the world
FIFA has announced the creation of a peace prize, which it plans to award at the draw for the World Cup on Dec. 5 in Washington. https://to.pbs.org/47LyluB

Across Norfolk, poor roadworks planning by the County Council is causing chaos, villages gridlocked, drivers frustrated, and local businesses struggling.
Station Bistro in Wymondham is just one example of the brilliant places being hit by this mismanagement. We need better.

Honestly TELL THE STORY. Won’t someone just tell the fucking story of how Brexit created this economic hardship, how a Muslim immigrant just saved the lives of those commuters on that train, won’t someone in politics or even media just connect the fucking dots and TELL THE STORY. IT’S RIGHT THERE

I defy anybody to say this is not the best concert post Floyd and this is a great song from Luck and Strange, the latest and best album.
Watch David’s solo from In Any Tongue, as featured on his acclaimed new live album / concert film, out now.

No expert on football but I think the players look like they are undertrained athletically and overtrained mentally. Unfit robots comes to mind. By the way Duffy should never play a half where he is looking into the sun, permanently shielding his eyes causing misplaced passes.

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...
![[Scene is the entrance cabin to a NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AND GARDENS]
1
NATIONAL TRUST EMPLOYEE [inside cabin]:
Hello there
2
[A young family - two parents two kids - have arrived at the front desk].
DAD:
Hi - do you have an activity trail, for the kids?
3
NT EMPLOYEE:
Of course – you’re just in time for the Autumn Gammon Trail!
4
MUM:
That sounds fun, doesn’t it kids?
5
NT EMPLOYEE [handing an activity sheet and pencils to the kids]:
Every autumn, the Reform Trust gammons flock back to the National Trust for the AGM. Just follow the trail round the grounds, and see how many you can spot!
6
NT EMPLOYEE [hearing something in the gardens]:
Listen - that's their call
[Calls emanating from the landscape]:
tut-tut
woke-woke
7
NT EMPLOYEE [showing the family an apparently empty fenced enclosure with some bushes in]:
They are extremely sensitive and fragile...
But you can bring them out of hiding if you put a little sign down mentioning slavery.
8
KIDS [pointing]:
There they are!
[Some little red faced PEOPLE wearing Barbour jackets and gilets emerge cautiously from the bushes. They are creeping towards a TINY SIGN in the middle of the enclosure].
[Little people noises]:
woke-woke
tut-tut
woke-woke
9
[Close-up of the TINY SIGN - we can read that it says]:
Slavery had a bit to do with building this massive house.
[Noises from the little people again as they inspect the tiny sign]:
tut-tut
woke-woke
10
MUM [pointing]:
What's that one doing there?
NT EMPLOYEE:
Oh, that's so sweet…
11
[We see that one of the people is sat on a rock, with a little laptop open on a tree stump, and they are furiously typing away].
NT EMPLOYEE:
I think he's writing a column for the Daily Telegraph…
12
[We see close up to the little person’s screen, it is a word document reading]:
Are National Trust scones secretly WOKE?
