I did not know that... All I see in the papers is that Starmer is personally responsible as he is the PM and used to run the CPS.

The Marsh Family covered it

Troajan,

The nutrient levels will be too high as well; try and stop leaves and other organic material getting into the pond and falling to the bottom and decomposing. On some fish ponds, they will remove the sediment from the bottom of the pond every few years to get rid of some of the rotting material. A dirty job though...

Now they are becoming a truly international explorer and producer - time for management to be paid more [much much more] because of the extra responsibilities they are taking on.

Duckweed thrives in stagnant water - add a fountain or bubble aerator. And, as duckweed likes a calm surface, consider adding a waterfall or something else that disrupts the water surface.

Somalia and Ethiopia are edging towards open war; with Sudan already in a civil war, the whole area could descend into a nightmare. Be wary of anyone trying to ramp oil / gold etc in the region. There may be 'bargains' around, but the risk premium should be too high, no matter how cheap an asset may seem.

'So far, Israeli air strikes have left more than 42 million tonnes of debris across the Strip, according to the UN. That’s enough rubble to fill a line of dump trucks stretching from New York to Singapore.'

An ongoing disaster that is going to take decades to reverse.

What happens if

Medicare adopts new GLP-1 criteria for coverage?

BMI 27 or more, established cardiovascular disease:

"If all newly eligible beneficiaries received semaglutide, maximum Medicare spending could be an additional $34 to $145 billion annually."

That is a shedload more dosh for Pharma, and that is just for the over 65s in the US.

HE1 - they seem to be like a manipulative partner to shareholders; the worse they treat them the more shares they want to buy. I suppose it is a case of collective Stockholm syndrome for the many who feel themselves to be hostages to misfortune after getting spiked.

'Far-Right ‘Terrorgram’ Chatrooms Are Fueling a Wave of Power Grid Attacks'

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-26/far-right-terrorgram-chatrooms-fuel-wave-of-power-grid-attacks

I posted recently about the dangers to the Grid from networked solar; now we have people sharing tips so openly that even Bloomberg is reporting on the general issue. No doubt RocketMans minions will be showing an interest...

Adrian,

'So you want me canceled Bobble.'

Are you getting that feeling that Admin are closing in?

'Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah said the militant group’s Sunday operation “is over” after it struck Israel in an escalation in tension that subsided hours later...Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah indicated that the group was not looking for long-lasting escalation. Instead, it was looking for revenge after Israel assassinated a Hezbollah leader in late July... Hezbollah’s attacks were sufficient, Nasrallah said, casting them as potentially “beneficial to the Palestinian side in the negotiations or the Arab side that is negotiating on behalf of the Palestinian team” to reach a cease-fire deal.'

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/08/24/israel-hezbollah-lebanon-gaza-ceasefire-negotiations/

The ball now seems to be in Bibi's court; tit for tat etc. And every time Hezbollah 'tat', they get a better understanding of Israel's defences. There must be some serious gaming going on inside the Israeli Cabinet - if Trump wins they get an easier ride so waiting plays into their hands; if Harris wins it might be game over to unlimited US support and an end to Bibi's freedom.

A rational narcissist would not gamble on Trump winning.

Asian Stocks Gain as Investors Count Down to Cuts: Markets Wrap

Blue,

Starmer is neither a Judge nor the person who appointed the Judge, nor the politician who signed the law into existence. If you are upset with the Judiciary and the Law, you should be looking at the Conservatives... The Public Order Act 2023 and the Online Safety Bill are both Conservative bills.

If the disorder had not been quelled, people would be complaining even louder.

Penguins,

You have to show some respect - he has managed to keep this latest account going for nearly a month.

Blogs suggests that the next couple of weeks could be a bit of a roller coaster ride for the markets: "Markets Facing Meltdown!"

An ALDI opened close to me a couple of years ago; remarkable how much fresh veg you can get from them for £3.

'The alleged offenses include: terrorism, narcotic supply, fraud, money laundering and receiving stolen goods.'
