In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.

Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.

While Norway still owns everything and has the equivalent of £10tn.

That's how privatisation 'works'.

The bee heart is not ‘heart’ ❤️ shaped but straw shaped.
It is a simple muscular tube that runs the length of the bee body from the abdomen through the thorax to the head circulating the bee blood (hemolymph).

It's easy to scoff at Trump designating as a "terrorist organization" something that's not an *organization* at all.

I have different view.

When you declare an idea rather than an organization to be terrorism, you can declare *anyone* a terrorist.

And that is what he will do.

This is horrifying.

I’ve mulled over posting this for months now. But yesterday it came to a head. And I’m aware that the people who need to see it will either not be here, or will suggest that I’m lying.

I live near an asylum hotel. The reason I didn’t post earlier is that I didn’t want to raise undue attention

Man United are dark horses this year.

All they need to do is fix the defence, sort out the midfield, learn how to score goals again, adopt a coherent tactical system and completely overhaul the dressing room mentality, according to Ian @fiveankles.bsky.social

My issue with the off the shelf no ceremony cremation adverts ( besides are you sure they’re the right ashes) is I am convinced that the ever so careful parent who hated wasted money, would not be pleased about the half eaten trifle and the amount of uneaten food. No way to remember the guy.
