    The descendants of former Prime Minister William Gladstone are facing calls to pay reparations to Jamaica for an ancestor's role in slavery.

    I find it strange that there is no mention whatsoever of reparations to the UK from France. Are people forgetting that England was invaded by King Louis VIII in 1216?

    What about the invasion by the Roman Empire - should Meloni be compensating Rishi?

    Where does this all end?

      Did anone see the blue moon last night? I did I then got back into bed and went back to sleep.
      What was the big deal, just a full moon, couldn't see what all the fuss was about.
      Why is everything so "special" these days.

          I think its supposed to be over a few nights, it was last night and the night before that they were making all the fuss about it over here.
          The rising of the hunters moon, (October) is more impressive IMO.

                    We have a few sunny days coming up, and we are being told to stay out of the sun between 11am and 3pm.
                    I think it should be personal choice myself.:biggrin:

                            Metcheck for MK-ish says tomorrow's UV forecast[1] is 5/10 at 1 o'clock, on Thursday it's 4/10 between 12 and 2. This is low because we're in September.

                            [1] The UV Index from 0 to 10 based on the cloud cover and strength of sunshine
