You're absolutely right - all the excitement quite overwhelmed me... npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire The morning of the day of the best solar #Eclipse in years; and of course, here on the west coast of #Scotland the cloud cover is building nicely - it's forecast to be 100% by lunchtime, in plenty of time for the main event. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire "Buck moon", Ellenabeich, Seil. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…rxg6 Sadly, a considerable number of people still find the Clacton Quisling "uplifting"; but with Fascism/flagism rather then Northernism in the viscera. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…rxg6 Same with what's left of the fishing industry... crab/lobster/prawn boats flying Union flags, shouting about bigger and better markets for their ultra-fresh catches. Suddenly the biggest two buying countries (France and Spain) started looking elsewhere because what was an overnight trade started taking several days; and you can guess the rest. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…x9tq We also need to wrest control form the large food processors and supermarket groups; their "perfect produce just-in-time" at cost (or less) to the farmers is (along with the need of the agrichemical industry to sell ever more of their toxic products) arguably at the root of the over-use of fossil fuels. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…x9tq Hmm... So if the (UK) government was to spend some money on removing the grid choke-points between England (consumer) and Scotland (producer of lots of wind- & hydro-generated electricity) there would be less need for carbon burning; and also (IF managed wisely) the creation of many jobs and a large injection of money into the economy. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…x9tq Wasn't there a song along those lines..? npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire Not Streeting, please! npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire Gonnae naw. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire Gaslighting on an international scale: npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire There is more to life than unsustainable continuous growth; the use of GDP to define the wealth or otherwise of a country - or the planet - is irrelevant. We must include societal and environmental wellbeing to give a true reflection of the wealth of a state. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire The poor wee soul... npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…x9tq It seems that #Scotland already has this - and free bus travel for seniors from age 60. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire Solar halo over Seil and Luing this morning. Far to the south, #StormGoretti is approaching southwest Britain; "danger to life" warnings have been issued for Wales and Southwest England. We won't see strong winds until the weekend... npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…hzyj No. I suggest that a large part of the economic woes of the world can be laid at the door of those who have, by various means, acquired vast sums of money which they then sit on - and acquire more as interest is paid. Those who have least are likely to spend proportionately more of their income on life's necessities - food, shelter, clothing, energy - and could suffer more than intended. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire The wrong people were put in prison (and worse); the guilty - from Post Office Counters Ltd, Fujitsu plc, the National Federation of Subpostmasters and the UK Government - are still free. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…hzyj So... An update from the rabbit hole. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire Petition asking the BBC to boycott the Eurovision Song Contest if Israel is allowed to take part. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…hzyj Thank you for doing these lists; they've brought back to my ears some music I'd long forgotten, and introduced me to some new sounds - resulting in increasing requirements for shelves and decreasing pension funds... npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire #ColdMoon Tree, Ellenabeich, Seil. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…hzyj Will there be a second half to the Tangerine Tyrant's presidency? With his behaviour towards others becoming more frequently socially unacceptable and irrational, is it possible - likely even - that Trump will be removed from office on health grounds? npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…hzyj I don't think Starmer will be happy until he can turn the sign on the door of the UK minimarket to "closed"; then he and Rachel from accounts can sell the premises off to Tangerine Tyrant Inc., probably trousering a few quid in the process... npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire The world's so-called leaders seem intent on destroying every ecosystem on this planet; and silencing those who provide evidence of the harm and danger is just another tool in their arsenal. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire Israeli forces again attacked a hospital in Gaza; and then, when rescuers had gone in to find the victims, the IDF attacked again. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire Is this a case of telling the stable lads to bolt the doors after the horse has gone? npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…dc6s If they haven't been, they should be; but I suspect that they only mingle with other, ahem, members or those of a like mind; so they probably wouldn't even notice. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire What the actual f...! npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…60lz @nprofile…l029 npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire There was always that teacher who could not control the classroom; who thought that handing out punishment left, right and centre would instil discipline among the pupils. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…60lz There seems to be little motivation for central and commercial bankers to reduce interest rates, when doing so would reduce a large source of their unearned income (and resultant bonuses). npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire On a more cheerful note, @nprofile…60lz suggested Little Sunflower by Cayenne as his final selection for his #JazzIntro listing. I could only find it on YouTube, but it sounded interesting so I splurged a tenner on a vinyl copy. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…60lz I'm not a fan of GDP numbers, especially when politicians use them to try to "balance the books"; but here, these numbers can show the imbalance of wealth around the world - if we compare the GDP/capita for the named countries to the global average at the end of the list. Then we must realise many countries will fall far below even that level. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…60lz Thanks for compiling this list, Chris; I've enjoyed hearing the wide variety of musical ideas (even if some of them were challenging to my cloth ears...), and had a few fun moments chasing down the more obscure tracks. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…60lz Music fit unto the day... As has become my habit, I seek out the albums from which each of the #JazzIntro tracks is taken; and listen to these over breakfast. Today is windy, grey and damp (between the torrential showers); but the sound of leisurely, bluesy sax and piano froom Messrs. Shepperton & Parlan is quite comforting. 😎 npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…60lz Well, this was an interesting little chase... found it on YouTube, so had an enlivening few minutes on a Sunday morning. 😁 npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…60lz The really depressing thing is that it wasn't the technology that was the cause of the harm - there have been so many benefits to society from all kinds of developments - it's the way a few people have used, are using, some technology to better themselves at the cost of others. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…60lz @nprofile…9vtz This piece made for an interesting read over my porridge - thanks Chris! npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…60lz The quasi-nationalisation of railways is symptomatic of the UK Government's refusal to spend what is needed into the economy. Until the Exchequer understands that the nation's accounts are not those of a company or a household, we will be stuck in this ever-deepening trench of austerity, with insufficient funding even to maintain - let alone increase - our current levels of societal contentment. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire Sunshine and showers. Today is a far from #SilentSunday; the wind is building, with clouds hurtling in from the Atlantic bringing rain and hail. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire It is raining. Not heavily, but since 1530 the rain has gradually increased in intensity; & is expected to continue to do so. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire This just arrived; now playing... npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire This is, I suggest, un-f*cking-real. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire Midnight moon over Easdale Bay and Luing. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…60lz I think this work by @nprofile…fxl7 says it all... npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire So the murderer Netanyahu and his genocidal Israeli government continue to inflict horrific suffering on the people of Palestine while the rest of the world sits on its hands. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire #SilentSunday npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…60lz Ooh... hard to find.

The North Sea is eroding the coastline very quickly; as global sea levels rise, this may accelerate. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire Tonight, I am sitting in my home in Scotland watching a film. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…60lz This "encouragement" would have nothing to do with the financial service industry taking a slice off the top when values go up (but not contributing when prices go down) would it..? npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…60lz This has been an issue for many decades: central government, for reasons best known to itself, cuts spending in its own departments and then passes the responsibility for (often mandatory) action to lower authorities - devolved nations, regional authorities, county councils, etc - but does not make allowance for the extra expense incurred. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…2qax I have a memory of reading, possibly in some travelogue, of the author coming across red stones on a hillside which were named by his guide as "foul slewie" - probably being the Gaelic "fuil nan sluagh", or "the blood of the hosts". Your toot provides further explanation of the origin of this phrase. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire When will Starmer condemn Netanyahu's murderous, genocidal, evil destruction of Palestine? npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire France is reported to be issuing a survival booklet to its citizens; Poland & other Baltic states are considering pulling out of a landmine treaty; the USA is pouring petrol on fires around the world (and flashing its Zippo up where there was no fire); Russia still wants to crush Ukraine, and then? Israel is on the verge of causing others in the Middle East to react with real fury; China sits, watching, waiting, stirring quietly in the Pacific. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire #SilentSunday npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…60lz Unfortunately "regulator capture" seems to have become the norm among British government agencies; and some of the "captives" seem to have surrendered without a fight. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire Well, it's got proper windy now. The electricity seems to be definitely off; I've got a tiny 5g signal, The Postie has a bit of 4g. BT/EE provided Mum with a backup battery to keep her connected to the rest of the world, but that appears to have failed. So we wait patiently, reading, crocheting, eating sandwiches, until a the old normality returns, courtesy of some poor souls who will be trying to untangle umpteen miles of cable and trees... To them, our gratitude in advance. Stay safe, folks. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire @nprofile…60lz Would "taking back control" of the Bank of England help? Reducing interest rates from unnecessarily high levels would immediately benefit cash flow throughout the UK economy; perhaps instead using taxes as a curb on inflation? This might reduce the value of the pound on currency markets; but if we can't afford to spend/invest now, what's the difference? npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire Now we hear that Keir Starmer wants the regulatory agencies to ease the rules so that we can have more and faster growth. npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire Here's a suggestion for @nprofile…jxjw as a present for the UK economy: npub1gl8f46shlg4vlp0nnhy09vul09qm4cgd2nsf4zte08eggtulecjqs7vsgg Russ Cheshire BBC editorial staff controlled by Zionist faction?
