I used to be able to read this. 40 years after graduation, it's time to see how much sense I can make of some texts. Can anyone recommend an online dictionary and grammar, please? @hellenicsociety.bsky.social or @nataliehaynes.bsky.social perhaps.

I don't always agree with @markavery.bsky.social but hats off to him for his questions to and recent comments on answers from the RSPB. Thanks for doing this and for bringing more transparency to charity operation. Very interesting, very worthwhile, Mark. Keep up the good work, please.

Really concerned by the govt’s financial settlement for councils - after years of underfunding and neglect, councils need to be funded properly. Govt could use a wealth tax to raise money from those with the broadest shoulders to keep delivering vital services for communities.

So Charles III trousers suitcases full of cash from dodgy Saudis and Prince Andrew engages in unspecified business dealings with Chinese spies, and then we give the royal family £86m a year. I do have that right, don't I?

Another complaint this morning to the BBC about their bias. Little mention of 70,000 environmentalists who marched for the planet; blanket coverage of 10,000 land owners complaining their genrerous inheritance tax breaks aren't big enough.
