@leannewood
Leanne, is there any coordination process in Wales for renewable development proposals to be routed through independent bodies like Community Energy?

"The Green Party is becoming a dustbin, a repository not only for climate activists but for disgruntled hard leftists leaving the Labour Party, and some fairly unpleasant Free Palestine activists as well."

I’m sure this crap will be recycled through Scottish Labour too.

Student Reporters Offer a Lesson on World Press Freedom Day
https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/campus-protests-student-journalism-press-freedoms
The escalating authoritarianism we’re witnessing in the crackdown on college campuses is, in part, a by-product of a media system that fails to hold powerful interests accountable for the lies they tell.

Rory Stewart says the world spends 2.4 Trillion on defence (Pounds? Dollars? Smarties?) but I’m unclear which invading planetary force we’re worried about (Romulans? Klingons? Kardashians?)

BashStKid,
@BashStKid@mastodon.online avatar

@christineburns All I’ll say it will be a good day when the schools and hospitals have all the money they need, and the generals are forced to hold a raffle.

Alternatively, it would be fascinating if the UK reduced its defence to Irish levels (~0.2% GDP) and focused that on a professional rescue, disaster response & emergency management force which would be useful all the time, not a worthless armed force that’s never going to be used.

Blackpool verdict looks like electoral death sentence for Tories - https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/03/blackpool-verdict-looks-like-electoral-death-sentence-for-tories "Full results likely to point to drubbing for Rishi ’s Conservatives at the general election" a bit premature, but one can hope...

@Lassielmr @fkamiah17 @glynmoody
It’s a possibility for sure, but my guess is that Reform see no benefit in that. They’d rather see the Tories smashed and desperate, then simply take over the bits they like at no cost. (eg the party finance lists, the electoral agent lists, the local activist lists). In short, a cheap decapitate and absorb strategy that as a private company they can do without adhering to any electoral guidelines.

No new baby goats this morning (just the 4 from the last few days). The mama who's been gigantic for the last month is due today, so hopefully she'll have lots of healthy babies! I predict 4 (and I predict she'll have them at the most obnoxious time...I have lots of meetings today, but I have even more meetings tomorrow that are way less flexible, so today would be great!)

I remember when I first saw a CPC464 in a shop I was working in, in 1984.

It was a very neat answer to what the market needed in 1982. But by 1984, cassette storage and Z80s were clearly long in the tooth—it came out the same year as the Macintosh, and 12 months late Atari STs and Amigas were showing up.

David Henig, the director of the UK Trade Policy Project at the European Centre for International Political Economy, said: “It could be seen as good news for Ireland. But there is a bit of bad news there which points to the costs of Brexit, and the question of who is paying for the customs duties – is it coming off profits of exporters or is it being passed on to the consumer in the price of clothing and food?”
