STOP!!
Even activists deserve a holiday. Xanadu has been walking in the road for the last seven months to combat global warming. Why shouldn't he seek a warmer climate for a couple of weeks?
He is selfless and deserves it.

What a feeble little gaggle of Remoaners it was… and clearly totally ill informed !

Jurgen Klopp on Man Utd signing Pogba for €100m in 2016:
"The day that this is football, then I'm not in a job anymore.
"Other clubs can spend more money and collect top players. I want to do it differently. I would even do it differently if I had that money."
Today, Klopp signs Caicedo for £110m (€127m).

Today, Simeon was protesting against new oil and gas, what did he get for his thoughtful act? He was forcefully removed by the Highways Agency.
Simeon was supposed to be taking his grade 4 piano on Monday, his future has now been ruined.
We will be exploring legal action.

This is an old photo of the climate activist and soap opera actor Raúl Semmler, who glued himself to a road in Mainz (Germany) back in December 2022.
The date, name, location and piano story is parody.

Suck on this climate change deniers-its so hot mid July in Greece that people are literally sitting in the shade to avoid the deadly rays of the sun and using water to cool themselves down! So there goes any argument you may have had, And its on Sky News so its irrefutable.🦺
Greece is experiencing a heatwave, with temperatures expected to reach up to 44C in some areas.
Tourists were seen sheltering from the sun under trees and using fountains to cool themselves off.

Building cathedrals requires a certain kind of culture. It requires a culture that literally believes in building on the work of previous generations rather than tearing it down.

My father-in-law is a builder. It is difficult to get his attention in a magnificent space because he is lost in wonder. We were in a cathedral together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer…
“We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”
