Yes, this is from the Grauniad but it's really from the no doubt very woke CBI. CBI’s chief economist: “It is clear, you can’t have growth without green – 2025 is the year when the rubber really hits the road, where inaction is indisputably costlier than action." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

We've waited nearly 90 years to find a successor to Neville Chamberlain. Rejoice - we have Donald Trump righting that injustice, and surpassing it by calling for surrender in advance

Let's try to get debates, in America, anchored in reality. A taste of reality: in Jan. 2024, the average price of a dozen eggs, across the USA, was $2.25. First week this Feb, average price: $7.14. Ask yourself: amid the Trump/Musk chaos, is anything happening beneficial to regular Americans?

If you hadn't noticed Reform UK Party Limited is not a party but a limited company owned by Nigel Farage with a bit owned by Richard Tice. The millionaires don't need to pay themselves but they do need spelling lessons: It is 'remuneration' they don't take not 'renumeration' as their accounts say.

In the UK it is pronounced as "Dodgy"

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

Hell in Acton. Alarm is going as I wait for my film in ActOne community cinema. Lots of firemen around which will please some. No flames and I expect I will survive but you can't be too careful 😮

Why is a Robbie Williams concert sponsored by a cat food? Answers on a postcard please

Marky Dawson, Brentford's most original musician on NOW at the Brewery Tap. Not to be missed!

BBC news shows a Land Rover off the road in a ditch on a mountain road in icy weather. What were these idiots doing driving a 4x4 in those conditions? Don't they know that 4x4s are designed to be used only in London, especially Chiswick and Chelsea?

Death of Albany Parade and of too many local businesses in Brentford. The hawks are flying away today, the supermarket no longer super. The chemist

Thank God we have Suella telling the truth that the woke will deny. I was in Belgium recently and saw the wall that has been built between Belgium and Egypt. Tell the woke numpties that, and they won't believe it, but I saw it myself.

Thanks for your letter. Not sure whether I want a Pure Cremation. Bit early to ask me. I'll let you know on the day it happens.

The secrets hidden in a pub piavo stool. Claim to be piano training books and ping pong bats. But I wasn't born yesterday. Despite my youthful body. I have read le carre and I know better

Rocking wild at the brewery tap. Haven't found the Tap yet but researching. Or the brewery for that matter

Republic of Brentford is playing in front of the biggest audience ever seen on this planet at the Brewery Tap (copyright Donald Trump). Better get here quick to catch it 😮

Hounslow Community FoodBox had a visit from Fabio Carvalho from Brentford FC. He took our shopping wishlist, arranged a van and personally delivered them with his partner. It was quite overwhelming and an emotional visit for everyone, just to see how generous and passionate he was to support us.

Extract from Gritstone a novel by Alan Newcombe: "Hugh mentioned Brexit in passing but was met with polite incomprehension. The community members seemed to think it was a new miracle cleaning liquid" Good read. Try it!

Every council should do weekly recycling and (at least) fortnightly residual waste. There are some initiatives aimed at awkward stuff - West London Waste Authority does computers, bicycles amd I think wire (need to be stripped of plastic insulation etc)

Mad busy in Brentford this morning. Reindeers very lazy though. Give them some straw...

If this is your car it is in Pump Alley. Until 2 minutes ago the full boot was wide open and had been for an hour at least. I didn't nick anything constable when I closed it, honest guv.

Brewery tap 5th birthday under Annie and Merlin regime. Lively and friendly as ever with a disco. No dancing yet 😁

On the final day of #16DaysOfActivism - which is also #HumanRightsDay - let’s remember women politicians face all kinds of abuse #NoExcuse

M&S CEO said, “I am delighted that, after three unnecessary years of delays, obfuscation and political posturing at its worst under the previous government, our plans for Marble Arch – the only retail-led regeneration proposal on Oxford Street – have finally been approved. Wow - that's telling them!

I hear Liz Truss has launched a new line in oarty foods for the festive period. The lettuce must be consumed before its sell by date ie within 45 days

Standing room only at the festival in Boston manor park. Except for the seats. Come here - lovely people good local music and I won a prize😄

amp.theguardian.com/sport/2024/d... I had my brilliant sprinting career harmed by gout too. But Allopurinol has helped me greatly. I can now cover 100m in 10.48. Minutes I mean

sharedhealthfoundation.org.uk/ending-child... They want me to share on X but I have left that behind. I encourage Sharedhealthfoundation to do likewise or at least add Bluesky as so many thinking people and organisations have. Terrible housing for children blights their whole life. Must fix

Good job this boat is anchored (to the tree) by Johnson's island in Brentford. Otherwise it would be sailing down to Sheerness and continuing to Barbados

Dead quiet in the Brewery Tap this afternoon but a lovely environment for a quiet pint. Interesting music on too (not live today)

Domestic abuse is more prevalent than most people think. We all have a responsibility, domestic abuse is everybody’s business. #NoExcuse
