I voted for TB once and then realised he was really not at all what he pretended. There was absolutely zero representation of the working people...
It's a really good and important point: Putin's popularity has been waning, but that was from a height which any western european or American...
Sadly - the people organising this will probably be fine. They have spent 7 years organising an alternative economy exactly for this scenario....
Sorry @JR but that just is not true.You may believe me when I say I am no fan of Tony Blair's: I believe that he should face a war crimes...
Binned them. Spent the afternoon in the sun with the missus weeding the border. A zillion violets, a fair amount of couch grass, rocket (which...
Ah - it's not the different opinions that are depressing @pete. They should just be interesting. It's where the deliberate sowing of division...
But Pete - that’s a perfect example. So none of that stuff bothers me and it feels as though it all gets mixed into a melange where good and bad...
Yes. Fair point. Maybe these ones are for the bin. They’re a pain for us - turn up every time I don’t pay attention for 30 seconds

I think there is a significant age thing here. Older Russians are much more likely to have that sense of grievance which clearly fuels Putin and...
Thank you. I hope they compost well!
This little plant covers any ground in our garden that we don’t actively weed. It’s actually quite a lovely little flower but it’s also invasive....
And I’ve been wondering if the root ginger would come again after the big cold weather die back. Apparently so! . That’s definitely a green bud!
And funny what a week can do: lettuces are going mad! Happy days…last weeks Lupin plantings are all goodcosmos get put into bigger plugs...
Took the afternoon off for a boozy lunch with a colleague but also have time now to fix up a few bits. After the storms last week I took the...
Me too. I feel strongly for the Ukrainians. 3 days ago, going to work and living normal lives. Today: full scale war by an army of occupation...
I have the same instinct but also not enough knowledge or experience to really know what the right answer is. Military escalation seems like a...
Yes - I agree. We’ve seen with the Dutch plane how that could play out. There are some flights I’d not do right now if they went too close…
Yes - in response to the UK's 'unfriendly' blocking of Aeroflot flights... Playing very much to the home crowd there - but then I suppose mostly...
OK - got it - thank you. I'm going to have a fair few in pots in the greenhouse this year. But having started so early, no doubt a bit leggy...
