Given the issues with some of the UK rail services in the north it is probably quicker to fly than run the risk of trains being cancelled or other delays.

A world first!
Today, France has banned domestic flights for journeys possible in less than two-and-a-half hours by train.

France also aims to get 9% of the population on bicycles by 2024, up from 3% (The Netherlands is already at 27%).

They seemed to have done the same with the Alien franchise, some a good, others lost the plot a little then the the last movie they made seems to have left off as if there was a sequel to alien covenant.

We have a new #OpenPGP passphrase protection feature in #Thunderbird Daily (development) builds, in response to requests we received in the past. Here's a description and call for testing:

So long as they are on there, they can at least tell the rest of the world what is going on.

I suspect all this is a distraction technique, we have a cost of living crisis that needs sorting out ASAP, people can't afford food, bills etc. We have medical staff announcing more strikes, the rail unions doing the same (well tube people in London), prospect of nurses being on and off striks until xmas, and the threat of the same from teaching unions, as schools are understaffed, under funded and budgets are stretched beyond reason. Plus a host of other issues.

Today we learn that illegal vapes contain heavy metals such as Lead, Cadmium and Nickel, we still have people crossing the channel in small boats at great risk to themselves and others, with no actual progess on stopping the people who are facilitating this other than huge amounts of taxpayers money being thrown at this. For which ther French police are, of course happy to accepot (who wouldn't accept millions in funds).

The Tories are out of ideas, and are hanging on by a thread, all this new BOJO crises has done is added another thread to try and keep them afloat until the general election.

So to confirm, because Johnson was too tight to pay his own legal fees, the Cabinet Office got to see his diaries. Because they're officially the client.

Which means that in the process of defending him from one set of crimes, they found evidence of ANOTHER set of crimes, for which they've now had to refer him to the police.

God these spin-off series of the Tory Shitshow are getting hard to track.

This is a country where apparently people thought that a 1/3lb burger was smaller than a 1/4lb burger, so on that basis of total stupidity, nothing really surpirses me.

If people take offense to this, please see what is going on right now from the viewpoint of people in different countries such as the UK, and think about the fact that the rest of the world thinks this sort of one person able to ban a piece of text is just stupid and pathetic, and therefore the US is equally stupid.

Not all Americans are that stupid. but so long as people sit on the side line and just allow this to happen unchallenged, you will just get more of the same, till at one pivitol moment something will happen that will mean there is no chance of going back to common sense.

For the sake of your country please STOP THIS lunacy.

Unreal: Florida elementary schools in Miami-Dade county are taking the book banning to new heights, this time banning the poem that was read at President Biden's inauguration by poet Amanda Gorman.

How were they able to get this done at all, let alone across the entire county?

*One* parent demanded that the poem be taken out of the libraries, saying it was "inappropriate" for students.

In addition to Gorman's poem, the deranged parent who was able to get this done successfully also challenged four additional books: The ABCs of Black History, Cuban Kids, Countries in the News Cuba, and Love to Langston.

She claimed that these books were filled with "indirect hate messages" that were inspired by critical race theory.

The director of research and insight at the Florida Freedom to Read Project responded to this absolute atrocious ruling to ban the poem, and books across the state, saying that the type of books being banned show a concerted effort to target "books that address ethnicities, marginalized communities, racism or our history of racism."

Should *one* parent be able to do this? Should a team of parents be able to do this? Where is the line? Who draws it?

This is insane.

Virtual evolution is coming soon (June 2-3)! The schedule is now available (with a few talks still to be scheduled). Hope to see you there!

You need a GDPR law ASAP and a non nonsense regulator to haul people before the courts and fine them.
