Oh the irony!

Glad to here home is sunniest place but Simon Calder it sadly isn’t living up to it’s reputation today. (Hills of St Boniface Down & even nearby church spire hidden by mist and rain clouds as we type!) :-( ☔️

Better still: make every cleaner in the country a member of the House of Lords, then get them to approve better pay and treatment for all key workers (by sequestrations the rich who’ve robbed us)…then abolish #HOL altogether!

These unnecessarily privatised utilities (that we paid for & built), didn’t invest in infrastructure adequately & borrowed money to give themselves vast dividends, & now want US to pay! Don’t just renationalise, sequestrate their assets & throw these crooks in jail!

Away from the unending misery of the news, Let’s enjoy some great historical rail cartography thanks to robert gwynne. This wonderful huge ceramic map at #ManchesterVictoria never ceases to appeal.

Why is stuff like this never featured on any national news? (Well I think no we know the answer). Of course he’d be unhappy if this was circulated by us on Twitter so…you know what to do!

Yes we do need to see these tax returns. We pay these people!

Inspired by _TMsteve🚂 I tried out this #TwitterCircle malarkey so was good to see his smiling face right there. Plus other #transit chums Mike.Ashworth, Andrew Smithers, Gareth Dennis, Joey, TM_James 🚂, doublearrow.co.uk Peter Lloyd, George Marshall etc. But who is the orangutan?!

Definitely lock her up, or better still sequestrate all her assets and force her to work like everyone else. Although quite who would want her as a barrista, care worker or till operator….nah: take all her assets AND lock her up. With Kwatang. And rest of crooks.

Ben Houchen blocks anyone who RT's this.

If these figures are right: what the heck are we doing? Surely #fossilfuels are profitable enough without subsidies? More importantly the whole industry needs to be progressively moved to #renewables . What an insane world.

Great graphic post from Gareth Dennis on how future rail system could be simplified

Wondering why weather has been so unseasonal? Check out yesterday’s temperature variations from seasonal average across Europe. El Niño exacerbated by #ClimateChange .

what more can be said?

Water turns brown. Call @southernwater Poor person reads from script and has no info on local issues that may have caused it. Walk to top of road: SouthernWater truck there with h2o all over the place. Why did they not know? Renationalise now with no compensation to shareholders!

Seems like the courts are going to be jolly busy then!

Here is the problem with attacking Benefits, as Rishi Sunak chooses to do.

Instead HMRC should be going after the 360x as much Tax Avoid/Evaders.

People like Nadhim Zahawi, David Cameron, and Michelle Mone.

Matt Hancock gave a PPE contract to his sisters company which he owned 20% of.

Then denied it when confronted and covered up the evidence.

In total he has been personally involved in more than £600,000,000 of PPE fraud.

Let’s investigate HIS bank account.

This fits the pattern of how the current government has burned through all of our resources and blamed the cost of everything on other people (HS2 Ltd). It’s their mismanagement of it that has let us all down.

Indebted as ever to Mike.Ashworth for alerting us to this wonderful new offering from the NLS Map Collections. Few hours down the rabbit hole due here!
