Your POEM by E V RIEU.......translated

one of my favourite poems...very sad but utterly brilliantly written
We Are Seven
BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

I met a little cottage Girl:
She was eight years old, she said;
Her hair was thick with many a curl
That clustered round her head.

She had a rustic, woodland air,
And she was wildly clad:
Her eyes were fair, and very fair;
—Her beauty made me glad.

“Sisters and brothers, little Maid,
How many may you be?”
“How many? Seven in all,” she said,
And wondering looked at me.

ETC......

Very apt.....
A beautiful poem
Do you love poets...

"Like several of its rivals, NatWest smashed forecasts but for investors the focus is much more on the outlook, which despite the boost to profit implied by rising interest rates, is heavily clouded by the risk of an increase in bad debts linked to the cost-of-living crisis," AJ Bell analyst Russ Mould added.

Inevitable profit taking after that 100%+ rise
Far more to come......

My comments were is reference to a TORY front bencher who was watching PORN on his phone in the HOC.

It comes as no surprise to many that the government front bench is full of wan-kers.

There will be at least 15,000 instances of viruses leaping between species over the next 50 years, with the climate crisis helping fuel a “potentially devastating” spread of disease that will imperil animals and people and risk further pandemics, researchers have warned.
Bats will account for the majority of this disease spread because of their ability to travel large distances. An infected bat in Wuhan in China is a suspected cause of the start of the Covid pandemic and previous research has estimated there are about 3,200 strains of coronaviruses already moving among bat populations.

India has been buying cheap Russki oil
and China probably would.
Russian gas pipes will be built to China in a couple of years time they reckon

The European Union will "significantly" increase purchases of Russian natural gas through "remaining channels," an anonymous source from "EU institutions in Brussels" told TASS on Wednesday.
The measure will be "temporary" and will enable EU countries that do not want to pay for Russian gas in accordance with Moscow's special payment system, such as Poland and Bulgaria, to acquire gas on the bloc's market, including from member states that comply with new Russian regulations.
In addition, the insider confirmed that the cooperation within the EU is centered on increasing gas supplies, especially liquefied natural gas (LNG).
