"Neil the Seal, spotted taking out the last 2 poles in the whole neighbourhood"
Well, that sums it up about right - I am not leaving any pole unturned!

I’m one of those who DID know who what and where they were. I fought politically for the liberation of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde half a century ago under the leadership of Cabral. After this World Cup I’m even more proud to have done so.
An Israeli soldier in Gaza holds up the sock of a Palestinian girl after killing her, filming himself smiling, after writing in his post (in Hebrew): "My new hobby: smelling the sock of a 5-year-old girl twice a day for 4 months."
This is neither a narrative nor an analysis. These are the soldier's own words, with his picture and from his own account.

NEW: Israel is preparing to begin moving Palestinians into CONCENTRATION CAMPS in Gaza within weeks.
According to Israel Hayom, unarmed civilians would be directed into a fenced camp in Tel al Sultan near Rafah, while a foreign force operating under the Trump administration’s “Board of Peace” polices the area from a newly built base.
The plan is described as a “pincer movement”: Israel expands its military control over Gaza while the Palestinian population is concentrated into controlled enclaves, leaving Hamas “without a population, territory or resources.”
Officials say the camps will receive aid and caravans, but not the concrete needed to rebuild Gaza.
Greek myrtle wreath, c. 330-250 BC.
In ancient Greece, wreaths made from plants like laurel, ivy, and myrtle were awarded to athletes, soldiers, and royalty. Similar wreaths were designed in gold and silver for the same purposes or for religious functions. This example conveys the language of love.
A plant sacred to the goddess Aphrodite, myrtle was a symbol of love. Greeks wore wreaths made of real myrtle leaves at weddings and banquets, received them as athletic prizes and awards for military victories, and wore them as crowns to show royal status.
By the Hellenistic period (300-30 BC), the wreaths were made of gold foil; too fragile to be worn, they were created primarily to be buried with the dead as symbols of life’s victories. The naturalistic myrtle leaves and blossoms on this wreath were cut from thin sheets of gold, exquisitely finished with stamped and incised details, and then wired onto the stems. Most that survive today were found in graves.
