Yeah, nothing says ‘peace’ like a pile of bodies and a press release.

My MP, @sarahsmithlab, has still not replied to two constituent emails (29 Sept & 9 Oct) asking if she’ll attend the briefing.

Voters deserve to know which MPs are engaging with this.

National Emergency Briefing @nebriefing.bsky.social · 8d

Experts warn of food shortages and civil unrest. Yet nearly half of Brits think climate change won’t affect them.

This gulf in perception is why we’re staging the National Emergency Briefing on the #climate & #nature crisis.

Has your MP confirmed they’ll be there? 👇

It's quite simple.

Very rich people are blaming immigrants and disabled people, for stealing all the money (exactly as Adolf Hitler did).

Because they are stealing all the money.

This trick is literally hundreds of years old, and it is the only one they have.

We’re living the episode that never aired because it had no ending. Just the slow dissolve of the audience realising they’re in it.

If your MP dodges the 27 Nov climate emergency briefing, they are complicit in collapse.
They’ve read the warnings: food riots, water wars, system breakdown.
Demand they show up, or admit they’d rather watch Britain starve than face reality.

This isn't an accident. The media’s making sure of it. He’s useful to the people with money and power - Farage is a distraction while the whole system crumbles.

There’s room for every migrant if we unlock the locked gates of Britain’s country estates. Let's redistribute some of that hoarded wealth.

Ordinary people outside hotels raging at ordinary people inside them: that’s the tragedy of this refugee controversy | Rowan Williams

Anyone who has met refugees sees the ordinariness of their hopes and dreams. If we reject their humanity, how can we be proud of ourselves, asks former archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams

Before & after. Grass stripped, path dug, what felt like tonnes of sandstone hauled out. Levelled, weedmat down, MOT tamped, bark and planters in. Shed groundwork for the chicken feed next, then more path to sort.

Side-by-side photos of a vintage caravan area. Left: bare ground with scattered stones, posts, weed growth, and a few plant pots. Right: same view after work- weedmat, tamped MOT base, bark mulch laid, sandstone chunks removed, planters arranged neatly, and the space looking tidier and more defined.

Digging a hole for a pond on the edge of a quarry.
Might be for wildlife. Might be for me when it all goes to hell.

A freshly dug pond hole on the edge of a steep, wooded drop. The excavation has uneven, crumbly sides and a deep central section, with a spade resting inside. To the left, part of a white vehicle is parked close to the edge, and on the right dense green trees lean over the slope.

Built a wall for our off-grid cabin.
