All these things happened to me in London today
I paid nearly £30 for a train ticket to take me into London from a town just 30 miles away —on a Saturday
The first person I sat next to, I think from India, decided to have a FaceTime conversation with his friend on speakerphone so we all had to listen to it
The train was late by 40 minutes due to unexplained “signalling issues”. It was also filthy.
I paid nearly £8 for a pint
I offered a woman my seat on the tube without realising she was with a man who intervened and said “no man”. He was not from the UK. I think he took my gesture as an insult.
I was asked for money by homeless people 3 times in one day
I noticed several people who are paid to give information to taxpayers and tourists over the tannoy on the London Tube cannot speak English properly
A cabbie told me “London is dead most nights”, unless you are the global high net worth set or top 1%
Restaurants are visibly struggling and often hideously overpriced
I had dinner in a neighbourhood where the average rent is £3,663 per month while half of all local social housing has gone to people who were not even born in the UK
I was constantly aware I should not get my phone out on the street as 80,000 were stolen last year
I also read on the way back while checking that stat that there were 90,000 shoplifting offences in London last year, up 54%
My train back —delayed—was suddenly changed at the last minute with all passengers on board. They were told it would no longer be stopping at all stops.
I bought a tin of instant coffee on the way home and it had a security tag on it
Maybe I’m in a bad mood and perhaps it’s amusing to think how somebody of my political outlook is “triggered” but to me there is a deeper point here
London is over —it’s so over
It’s a city in visible decline with deteriorating standards and no real sense of identity or belonging
Going in and out of our capital city is a truly miserable experience
Infrastructure is falling apart, as is the social contract
I’ve been coming in and out of London since 1981
I simply cannot remember a time when it’s been this visibly dire and when so many things just do not work as they should

What is the difference between Italian and Russian bees?
Italian and Russian bees are both excellent breeds for beekeeping, although they have a tendency to swarm. Each race of bee is hard-working and can produce large amounts of honey in the right conditions. Italian bees are less aggressive and easier to requeen but are more likely to rob. The Russian breed overwinters well and has good resistance to varroa mites and other pests.
1. Appearance
The Italian bee has yellowish-brown bands on a brown abdomen. The queen is often a darker shade of orange or leathery brown, making it easier for beekeepers to spot her in the hive.
Pure Russian honey bees are typically a black or dark brown shade with pale yellow stripes. But if the hive requeens, she could mate with other drone breeds, which will alter the appearance of the colony.
2. Origin
Researchers believe Italian bees originated from the southern region of Italy. In 1859, Italian honey bees were introduced to America, where they soon replaced German bees. Italian bees are now on every ...
“Whoever controls the food supply controls the people.”
Society can only survive and fully function with a robust and ample food supply & security. All roads lead from that. That’s why supporting farmers and farming is probably the most important campaign in this era. Without food (ideally fresh & local) societies crumble and public health diminishes.
Over the past 40 years, many of our public and essential assets have been sold off or plundered for corporate greed. Land is one of the last remaining asset grab battles. Support our farmers. Our food supply depends on them.
