By all means. Since however it's a subject that divides folks along political as well was cultural and moral lines, probably best if it is debated in the Current affairs & Politics thread; (click the link below to go there) https://not606.com/threads/current-affairs-politics.417284/
A beautiful old tree destroyed... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce8g6lj8343o Criminal damage? Apparently not. And now those responsible are changing their story every day in an effort to minimise the backlash. Never mind a tree branch. This lot wouldn't know the truth if it fell on their heads.
This one particular act of vandalism pales when compared to the ancient forests chopped down for the white elephant high speed rail, which got far less publicity.
Huge parts of Spain and Portugal lost all power at about Midday today. Nobody knows why. That doesn't sound very plausible six hours later. Blimey.
yeah I read that and thought the Russians were playing games or they have the same electrician that did our rewiring
I hear some European Governments have been advising their people to lay in a few day's supply of tinned food, some torches / lamps and a battery or clockwork FM radio - as radio may remain the only way of communicating if television & mobile networks go down in a power cut. A sad sign of the times but good advice. I got myself some LED torches & a battery radio (with SW bands) just before the first lockdown in 2020. And it never hurts to have a dozen tins of food in the cupboard. Heating their contents might be an issue, unless the gas stays on. PS: What I did not get was 300 bog rolls and a hundred tins of baked beans. Everyone else best me to it

I was in Morrisons at Petts Wood a few years ago, an announcement came over that there was a problem with visa cards and only cash was being accepted, virtually everybody walked out.
