“If you think the world is selfish and rotten, go to the cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer overlooking Omaha Beach. See what one group of men did for another on D-Day, June 6th, 1944.” — Andy Rooney

This is a man-made tragedy all down to energy policies that have pushed prices higher in search of a carbon ambition at home and simply pushing businesses to the wall.

Non ho mai scritto a riguardo della raffineria di alluminio ad Aughinish in Irlanda; pensavo erroneamente: quanto alluminio può mai produrre l’Irlanda per la Russia?

Mi sbagliavo. La raffineria di Aughinsh, posseduta dal colosso russo “Rusal” (posseduto dall’oligarca Deripaska) produce un terzo di tutto il (poco) alluminio ancora prodotto in Europa. Tutto questo alluminio è trasportato in Russia dove viene usato per nutrire lo stesso complesso militare industriale che rade al suolo le città ucraine facendo stragi di civili.

Ma lo scandalo è ancora maggiore di quello che potrebbe sembrare: che le sanzioni europee non siano affatto complete e permettano ancora tali follie non era una novità. Quello che personalmente mi ha scandalizzato è il modo in cui i politici irlandesi, incalzati dal bravissimo reporter Caolan, neghino che la raffineria abbia una qualche connessione con il complesso militare russo, nonostante tutto, a partire dalle insegne fuori dalla struttura, porti a tale conclusione.

Questa roba deve finire all’istante. La raffineria va sanzionata, chiusa e basta.

"Southern Water apologises after Winchester milestone removed."

So there's a mile stone on the Andover Road just outside Winchester, it's been there for 100s of years, guess who digs it up and then dumps it along with a load of other building waste in the local landfill?

Yep, step forward Southern Water.

The SNP have spent years lecturing Scots about climate emergencies, cutting flights and reducing emissions.

Yet 4 troughing ministers are flying 3,000 miles to watch a football tournament and you are paying for it.

Utterly outrageous.

An appropriate post from Zelensky on the anniversary of D-Day. Nothing from Trump. Which is appropriate, since Zelensky is a fighter against tyranny, unlike Trump.

Allegations of cash for seats coming on top of serious questions for the Crown & the Police make it increasingly likely there will be a Westminster inquiry. Scottish public life will be fixed from above unless the Scottish Government has the guts to set up an independent inquiry.

Today we remember D-Day, the Allied invasion of Normandy.

With 160,000 troops, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history.

Il y a 82 ans, 14 000 Canadiens ont débarqué à Juno Beach. Beaucoup d’entre eux ne sont jamais rentrés chez eux.

À l’occasion de l’anniversaire du jour J, nous prenons le temps de rendre hommage à ceux qui ont servi et consenti des sacrifices. Nous nous souvenons que nous devons nos droits, nos libertés et notre mode de vie à ceux qui ont répondu à l’appel et qui se sont battus pour les acquérir.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

82 years ago, 14,000 Canadians landed on Juno Beach, many of whom would never come home.

On the anniversary of D-Day, we pause to honour those who served and sacrificed. We remember that our rights, our freedoms, and our way of life were fought for and were won by those who answered the call.

[Marko Polo @markthehibby]

🚨 👉If many of the 15,000 who donated complain to the police it will force the police to reopen the investigation into the ringfenced money. 👉Will be interesting to see if Douglas Chapman provides some more info on the NEC/these individuals👇 he holds culpable in tmrw's podcast

[Made In England @BuyEnglishMade]

We have to do more to protect the producers who still make things here. Support > sentiment.

Once they're gone, they don't come back.

This Denby news is genuinely sad.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Before I leave Ireland, I want to place on record that in the last 24 hours I have received constant stalking and death threats for my reporting. However I will not be intimidated.

What I have uncovered is deeply troubling, and the effort to silence it only makes that clearer.

Excl: SNP treasurer Colin Beattie was 'paranoid' about leaks and gave out numbered copies of financial accounts to prevent members taking them home for scrutiny https://t.co/B1u2KKWzIE

The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.

They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.

Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.

A proven crime, complete with a confession, reported to the police, investigated and dismissed in less than 24 hours. Is that a world record? https://t.co/bptUr3jZqx

Unlike many of the grasping welfare grifters, most of today’s pensioners have contributed for decades to receive their paltry State pension.

@larabirdsnp The SNP have been in a permanent crisis for months

[Niall Fraser @NiallFraser8]

Scotland should be granted an ANOTHER election and the last one voided. The SNP have conspired with the Crown office to hold back the Murrell revelations until AFTER the election AND to lessen the impact on Sturgeon.

Criminals have hijacked Scotland.
