Man in blue, "Thames Water on the verge of going bust.. The water industry is the perfect business model.. Their market is every home, every business.. Their customers are forced to use their company.. There's zero competition.. They're selling a product made up of 70% of the earth's surface.. If you cannot get that right, you should not be running a business" #BBCQT
Clare Daly, a Member of the European Parliament from Ireland, gave this speech in Parliament. It’s powerful & short. Please watch. As the Irish PM told Joe Biden in March: When it comes to the suffering in Gaza, we Irish know about Starvation and being told we don’t exist.

Michelangelo's Statue of David, created between 1501 and 1504, is known for its remarkable details, particularly in the right hand.
This iconic statue was carved from a single 6-ton slab of marble that had been discarded by two other sculptors due to flaws. The marble lay exposed to the elements for 26 years before a 26-year-old Michelangelo was awarded the contract.
Michelangelo began his work on September 13th, 1501, and dedicated two years of his life to carving out this masterpiece.
The Statue of David stands at an impressive 17 feet (5.18 meters) tall, featuring an enlarged head and right hand. These proportions were adjusted to ensure visibility from below, as the statue was originally intended to be placed on the cathedral's roof.

Beware what's coming down the track. Before Xmas, the Tory EU Retained Law will be enacted which will do away with around 600 pieces of EU Law in one hit.
We're just witnessing the beginning of their desecration of what we knew as the UK 😡
If everyone who has been grateful for the NHS over the past 75 years followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight

Here is @HuwMerriman, hiding in the ticket office at Appleby.
The same ticket office he wants to shut!
Unless, of course, he reads the placards, listens to the public and does a U-turn.
