On a misty winter's day in the English midlands, engineers struggled to drag stranded narrowboats from a waterless, mud-filled canal that collapsed weeks earlier, in a delicate, multimillion-pound rescue operation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/11/world/uk-canals-crumbling/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon

The whole country is failing due to lack of maintenance. The for at least the last rwenty-five years has concentrated on pretentious vanity schemes that make bosses rich and the people poor, and the country as a whole cannot afford them.

"Channel 4's documentary last night on Palestine Action’s proscription as a terrorist organisation was a game of two halves. The first half, which built the government’s case for proscription, was presumably the “balance” needed to avoid a pile-on by the rest of the establishment media. The second half then proceeded to tear down the government’s case brick by brick"

As we have said on this medium many times before, the evidence was fabricated, the whole 'elbow affair' was a LIE from the start.
If was not a DUPE, he is a FRAUD.

Starmer MUST apologise, and compensate ALL the innocent people that he had arrested, and locked up WITHOUT BAIL.

Starmer must go.

There is too much the establishment. The is corrupt and

Full transparency now.

Nice picture. Thanks.

I have never seen the stones, but we have driven past the sign a few times. I am glad now not to have visited having just read the wikipedia description. It seems a catalogue of destruction and vandalism!! Not your fault, obviously!

“Mandatory volunteering”, eh? If only there were a shorter word that described what that is.

"Each of the “terrorists” who held up a sign will only be given 36 minutes in court to make their defence...

How can anyone accused of a terror-related offence get a fair trial if they are not allowed adequate time to plead their case? This is the very definition of a kangaroo court"

Lucy Powell has been voted in as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party; a pretty clear corrective to the Starmer wing's domination of recent party politics.

No doubt you will already have read some commentary on this result, but here is an interesting analysis from Simon Fletcher.

He concludes: 'the Labour right cannot argue that its critics are destabilising Labour when Labour has been damaged & severely destabilised – by the Labour right'

Sixteen months squandered by labour attempting to out-tory the tory government we eventually managed to discard having grown tired of their lies and corruption.

Is there anyone in the labour party adult enough to realise Britain requires a socialist cure to the self-serving money grabbing egotistical politics we have endured for far too long.

Who will LEAD the labour party out of this mess?

📱💻🖱️🎧📷 made the switch to USB-C.

Now, chargers must follow, because 400 million sold yearly in the EU means serious waste.

To cut it and make your life simpler, we have updated the ecodesign standards:

✅ USB chargers must include at least one USB-C port & work with detachable cables
✅ Higher energy efficiency and interoperability
✅ New EU logo helps match devices

By 2035, we could save energy, reduce pollution, and save consumers €100 million a year.

CAUTION!
There are different sorts of chargers even in usbc.

You might need a clever one that provides the power requested from the device. Take care.
E.g. the new 45 watt (?) from raspi foundation seems to work well as an ipad charger…. Android chargers don’t seem to work…

I am not an expert, so don’t add this to ai solutions without confirmation!
