@ElonReevchat096 Yes?

Ireland in World War 2

@Tree_Folklore Holly is a dioecious tree meaning that there are males and females. The berries appear on the female. Which is why the females are usually much smaller, they get pruned for Holly wreaths etc. old holly trees have spikeless leaves.

A little Holly 🌲 surviving beneath the Autumn Beech canopy. Holly (Ilex aquifolium) can grow close to 50 feet in height and live for 300 years In the Irish Ogham alphabet the Holly tree is represented by Tinne which means "iron" Many of the Ogham letters are named directly after trees but others like Tinne have names that relate to or describe the practical or mythical properties of the trees Holly wood is very strong and the tree is a protective one. Throughout the year it protects birds and small mammals whilst a Holly at the front of your home will protect you from lightning strikes & keep malicious fairies or other unwanted magical creatures away 🧚‍♂️🧌

“Why would they then continue to be enthusiasts for the very thing that’s blocking their consumers from getting the things they need?” For the first time Wee bitter Jimbo has asked the right question. So why are you continuing to enthusiastically support Brexit Jim?

@DialectSuspect @unionb4power @allianceparty I just had a look at his history. It’s just another sock account from the wee wanker from Donaghadee.

As someone who would buy from Amazon frequently I have noticed in the last few weeks when I attempt to buy things it states they don’t deliver to NI and the searches send me to purchase from Dublin at twice the cost!! Well dove @allianceparty so much for best of both worlds

This idiot thinks the @allianceparty are to blame for the NIP & the WF, when in fact the knee jerk sectarianism, short sighted policies and crass stupidity of the DUP caused the whole mess and ensured that the People of NI have no future as part of the failing U.K.

Five quick reforms the NHS urgently needs taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/12/1… If the NHS needs reform start with the easy things that will radically improve morale.

@Muskovite2 @RichardJMurphy You think that the last 14 years of government was socialist? Do you actually know what “Socialist” means?

@RichardJMurphy Maybe they'll do a better job, than those running it all these years into the ground? Good socialists like you!!

Why has Rachel Reeves called in bankers to advise on the NHS? youtu.be/00MtdwnWfB0?si… Rachel Reeves must think the only job a government has is to balance its books. There can be no other explanation for the insanity of calling in bankers to advise on the NHS.

The next crash could be much bigger than the last two taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/12/1… The extreme financialisation of the economy must be approaching the point where it is no longer sustainable. When that happens the crash will be of a wholly different scale to 2008, or 2020.

@donnarainey4 Now you mention it, last month I found a pear and pear blossoms on the same twig. Spring and autumn happening simultaneously, how scary is that? Sadly I was busy and completely forgot to go back and photograph it.

Twice this week I've found Water avens in flower! Crazy. #wildflowerhour

@pcl100 @RichardJMurphy Complaining about tax evasion and fraud while also complaining about having to pay tax on your unearned income is a bit …

@RichardJMurphy Plus tax evasion, tax fraud and benefits fraud from the millions of immigrants legal or otherwise. Meanwhile HMRC just changed my tax code because I exceeded my tax free threshold on savings. What a farce.

The government’s losing nearly £60 billion a year to fraud youtu.be/ldwwOD5IY98?si… The government’s own data on fraud suggests it loses £58.8 billion a year, but that’s bound to be understated as there are no systems to detect fraud in two thirds of government activity. What is going on?

@RichardJMurphy When I read this, I automatically assumed benefit fraud! Which goes to show how the dysfunctional narrative of claimant blaming has permeated even my consciousness!

Well done Andrew. Now why not establish cross compliance between the planning department, the roads department and your own department. So that everyone complies with the rules around the removal of hedgerows?

@normanelliottuk @RichardJMurphy I always understood that the measure of wealth was the amount of debt one carried! By that logic farmers are incredibly wealthy. I’ve yet to meet a farming family who hasn’t got at least one high end car.

@RichardJMurphy I assume that by ‘their wealth’ you mean the land they have, to provide crops to sell, or grazing for livestock. Without this land, they have no business. None. Is it therefore ‘wealth’, or is it working capital/stock? To term it ‘wealth’ is an inaccurate overgeneralisation.

The wealthy think they’re different youtu.be/LS_a5orP4Rg?si… The wealthy do – as author F. Scott Fitzgerald noted a century ago - think they’re different to us. The recent farmers’ protests proved that. Despite their wealth, farmers claimed impoverishment and demanded favours and subsidies from the state. It’s time we stopped putting up with their egocentric bleating.

That’s worth listening to and thinking about.

@Tree_Folklore @pondsntrees In fact there is no evidence that badgers infect cattle. It’s entirely possible that the cattle infect the badgers.

@pondsntrees What an absolute joke. They know fine rightly the badgers have nothing to do with it. Stop keeping cattle in filthy conditions.

Definitely worth signing.

I reposted this a while ago and I’ve been thinking about it since. There are degrees of disability, some that hardly impact quality of life at all some that are devastating and include chronic severe pain. Some might justify A.D. many will not.

A mostly nondisabled friend looked at me the other day and said "I'm not sure how I feel about assisted dying but it's interesting that if anyone else is suicidal we do everything to stop them but if they're disabled we want to help them" yeah, I can't stop thinking about that

@Gwyn_Sea @ssearle63 @RichardJMurphy They are all driven by greed. It’s as if they think they’ll live forever and own it all for ever.

@SScilley @ssearle63 @RichardJMurphy The reason that Dyson has bought 39,000 acres of farmland (or whatever it is) increasing asset prices is, like Clarkson, because it historically avoids IHT. But of course they'll put it into trusts

The politics of privilege are what the farmers’ protests are all about taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/11/2… Yesterday’s farming demonstrations revealed what these protests are all about. Farmers want state subsidies for the wealthy and are utterly indifferent to the cost to the state of supplying them.
