In August I will be walking to raise funds for Parents Against Grooming. Im thinking ill walk from Tintagel to Penzance along the coastal path in Cornwall. I felt inspired to do this after seeing @rossthedonn raising money for veterans on his walk from Scotland to London 🥾⛰️
Look what’s been built in Cardiff for swifts. My niece sent me these photos and said the structure was alive with birds. Heartening to see. It’s shaped like a swift in flight I think. Other towns have created similar swift nest sites including Exeter. Thank you for caring.
Reply if you know an outstanding English maker or producer whose business is under threat.
I'll look at every one and write up as many as I can. We might even list some on the site.
Let's get more people seeing the work they do.
Denby Pottery has been killed by this government.
The murder weapons are the mad pursuit of net zero and ever-increasing labour costs.
200+ years of Derbyshire history destroyed by Ed Miliband, Angela Rayner, and Keir Starmer. Shame on them.

You want to know what's worse than incompetence? Knowing the truth and burying it anyway.
They knew. That's the bit nobody is saying. They knew.
Two days after Henry died Hampshire Police secretly recorded Digwa in a police van speaking Punjabi to his brother. Digwa admitted stabbing Henry. Discussed claiming self defence. Made zero mention of racial abuse. Not one word.
Hampshire Police had that tape.
They knew Digwa was lying about the racist attack. They had the evidence. They had his own words and then tried to smear Henry as the aggressor anyway.
Three days after his death their statement read “it was reported two men had been assaulted by an unknown man.” Henry was the unknown man. The boy bleeding out on the street. They flipped it.
Family complained. Statement changed. Then police told the family their NEXT update would again infer Henry was the initial aggressor. His family had to fight them a second time. While grieving their murdered son.
Then during the trial Hampshire tried to issue a statement telling the public to stop talking about it online. Calling it disinformation. The CPS had to step in. Told them they were about to collapse their own murder case.
This is the force that handcuffed a dying boy. Missed the murder weapon twice. Had a secret tape proving the killer lied. And still tried to bury Henry's name.
That's not incompetence. That's a machine protecting itself. At the expense of a dead boy's reputation and three officers are still on active duty. Not suspended. Treated as witnesses. To their own actions.
Hampshire Police didn't just fail Henry on that street. They kept failing him for six months after he died.
@Banksycat My heart aches for his family. I've never seen a bond between brother and sister. As Olivia said, she's lost her best friend and has to explain that to their younger siblings. It's horrific on every level for the family 💔
Can the government explain to me why this UK trained British doctor can’t get a post yet are still giving visas for foreign doctors at her skill level?
It is immoral that the very best of our own educated young people can’t get NHS jobs & migrants can!
This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby@denbypottery
@britishmemorial We owe them so much and at the same time have failed them and those in the services who protect them. Forgive me if I sound angry but I am. My Grandfather won a BEM. I have a few family members in the navy. We do not look after our veterans enough.
@Chrisg65101219@Keir_Starmer He will be remembered. As the man who oversaw the destruction of our country. It didn't start with him, but he's done nothing to reverse it or protect our country, children, pensioners, farmers.
