Blair’s neoliberal agenda to dismantle welfare state

Good article!! 👍 Blair and Starmer both have a lot to answer for. 😏

Red Terror

After Second World War Labour government introduced Welfare State. It’s aim was to wipe out poverty and hardship in society. To have a society that was free from the fear of poverty brought on by ill health. It offered cradle to grave welfare state. That was a Labour Party to proud of. Which the country voted in, in a shock surprise to Churchill who had just 12 weeks earlier announced the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany.

In 1997 millions voted in Blair in a landslide victory as a backlash to the Thatcherite years. It was the visible decline of welfare state under her tenure that made Blair’s New Labour seem so appealing. Labour created Welfare State and their whole ethos was about equality and citizens free of poverty and ill health. Yet Blair single handedly is responsible for British people losing faith in benefits system and changed their perceptions towards…

Coffee grounds for slugs ‘illegal’ – Bullcrap

Oh well no wonder we left the EU.. But to be honest, NOBODY in the UK ever took any notice of such nonsense anyway… 😏

Ground to Ground

Coffee grounds for slugs ‘illegal’ – IOL Lifestyle | IOL.co.za.

In what would be one of the most bizarre stories I have covered on this site (and this coming from someone that advocates urine fertilizer and eats mealworms – not in that order), comes an article which cites a leading European Union official who regards the use of used coffee grounds on slugs as illegal?!

The article, posted on South African online news site Independent Online, refers to a EU source quoted by the article author, Ian Drury:

The home-made solution contravenes regulations on pesticides, say officials.

The article goes on further to quote a source at Britian’s RHS:

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has warned that any gardener using coffee granules to deter slugs falls foul of EU regulations. The rules say that any active ingredient or chemical used in gardening must be explicitly approved and placed on…

How Pumpkins Grow with Coffee

Pumpkins do like coffee grounds! 🎃🙂👍

Pumpkins Growing in Coffee Compost

Pumpkin might be the most successful crop to ever grow in my garden. At times I carried out some self pollination, only because there did not seem to be enough bees around, and these clumsy hands broke off too many of the male flowers in the attempt than I care to admit!

As it turns out, there were plenty of bees, I just wasn’t paying attention. Either way, I’ve got a dozen lavender and rosemary cuttings that will be in place for next Spring (and many Hyssop seedlings on the way), and every bee within 5 kilometers will be stopping by to say hi.

Let’s track the progress of this little pumpkin, labelled as Pumpkin Diggers Prize Winner (from Diggers).

When it was time to prepare the pumpkin for storage, I left him out for a week in a sunny spot to ripen some…

Roses & Coffee grounds, don’t make this common mistake.

Good advice for gardeners and Rose growers! 🙂👍

Rhonda's Going to Hack Your Life So Hard

Roses do like coffee grounds, but too much too close can give them a nasty nitrogen burn and can kill your roses. Never sprinkle coffee grounds right next to the plant.

There’s a great way to feed your roses coffee grounds, which lowers the ph on soil and attracts worms which loosen and feed the soil- great for roses!

It’s simple, just collect your coffee grounds and -per bush- use 1 cup of grounds to 1 gallon of water. Mix, and water the roses with it. This helps distribute the grounds and acid to prevent burn and get the nutrients to the roots.

Don’t throw away extra coffee grounds that you don’t need for roses, lots of other plants enjoy them, too.

#FreePalestine

Netanyahu’s promises will bring him and Israel crashing down.

Netanyahu explaining the details of his latest theft from Palestinians.

---

Netanyahu will do anything to avoid the same fate as so many other corrupt Israeli politicians – going to jail. The annexation of Palestinian land was (he thought) the best way to get re-elected and avoid the threat of Israeli justice catching up with him and to some extent it will.

Ordinarily, crimes against the Palestinians are unnoticed by the worlds media and in turn can also be ignored by governments. The rubber stamp he intends stamping on historic and future theft of Palestine should be routine but he’s become complacent. He failed to understand that bogus democratic regimes have got to try and reflect their peoples views at some point, albeit reluctantly. The annexation is unlikely to proceed as Netanyahu promised during his election campaign and he has been surprised…

My Top 60 Fantasy Artists (Part 1 of 4)

Lotus Viridis

*Note – This post is very outdated. These photos were from an old premium photobucket account that I don’t use anymore. I do have plans to come back and revamp this post because google really likes sending people here. Stay tuned for that. – Jan 26, 2023.

I’ve whittled away countless hours of my life dauntlessly searching for any artwork that pleases my seemingly insatiable hunger for visual fidelity.  It has now come to a point where I believe I have a strong preference of which artists appeal to me more than most and will therefore give you some insight into the fantasy art world by crafting this list for you to peruse and enjoy.  I come across most art pieces from three main sources. The biggest one is Deviantart.com, the social artwork website. It remains one of my most frequented websites and I have thousands of pieces of art…
