Nicola Coughlan has raised over £70,000 and counting for Not A Phase, a charity committed to uplifting and improving the lives of trans people across the UK:
“To see an already marginalised community being further attacked and attacked in law is really stomach-churning and disgusting and to see people celebrate it is more stomach-churning and disgusting. If you are a cisgender person who is an ally of a trans person, I think now is the time to just speak up and make your voice heard and let your trans and non-binary friends and the community at large know that you are there for them and will keep fighting for them.”

Looks like I’ve accidentally created a small lake without permission.
A few months ago I was clearing a rubbish strewn hollow beside the Roding & thought that as we don’t have any still standing water in the area, it would be a good place to install a pond.
Using a digger to excavate it & volunteers to install the liner & it’s bigger than I expected, more a small lake than a pond! Although a bigger job than I expected, I’m determined to get it completed & filled for local wildlife. Am planning to put gravel on the bottom & mud from the river on the sides & let plant life naturally colonise rather than buying, but any hints or tips are welcome.
If anyone is in London this Sunday & fancies joining a volunteer day in Barking to complete the pond, all help is very much welcome (drop me a message for the details).

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.”

The Master's Tools shows how finance destroyed democracy and argues for "democratic ruptures" in the economy, which empower the demos to make investment decisions via sortition. Out with @VersoBooks now.

There doesn't seem to be any MSM coverage of Starmer's astonishing announcement that he is in partnership with Blackrock, the most corrupt corporation on the planet who will privatise the UK with the help of 74 deregulated SEZs and 12 Freeports.
Someone, please explain to me why state capture of the UK is not in the headlines.

Blackrock is one of the most powerful and utterly corrupt shadow banking outfits in the world. BlackRock has been criticized for investing in companies that are involved in fossil fuels, the arms industry, the People's Liberation Army and human rights violations in China.
Environmental, social and corporate governance investing (ESG) is cited as ‘a dangerous placebo that harms the public interest’.
As of December 2018, BlackRock was the world's largest investor in coal-fired power stations, holding shares worth $11 billion in 56 companies in the industry.
BlackRock owned more oil, gas, and thermal coal reserves than any other investment management company with total reserves amounting to 9.5 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions or 30% of total energy-related emissions from 2017.
That Starmer is in bed with this malign planet destroying Trump loving company that pretty much owns everything is cause for extremely urgent investigation.
The MSM must give the public the facts about Blackrock, the UK’s future is with the EU not US planet destroyers like Blackrock.

The first Remembrance Day since Israel killed 3 British Veterans in a precision strike, while they were delivering food to starving children.
Remember John Chapman, James Kirby and James Henderson, and think of their families who deserve justice.
