Thanks to Amy Holmes and BBC Online for the Headline

Unusually I know the answer to this Headline as the results are now in on the vote of No- Confidence and there is now a Liberal Democrat Council Leader with another election due in 2027.

So what has happened to local democracy and the previous Council Leader and how did Labour’s majority disappear without an election?

Well thanks to the  Labour’s National Executive and in line with Labour Party Policies and Procedures the previous Council Leader of 19 years was removed (although she was asked to say she was resigning).

Enter the National Executive’s chosen candidate and some Labour Councillors who were totally ignored by the Executive(not being considered for the post either of Leader or Deputy Leader). 

Rightly so they left the Labour Party and chose to stand as Independents.Hence Labour lost their majority and the Liberal Democrats are in charge.

So voters wishes have again been railroaded by systemised politicking  at National Level. Candidates being appointed by external forces not local people.

I wish the Liberal Democrat Leader well.

Seems even Beverley Hills can’t guarantee that there is an awareness and support when someone can no longer live safely by themselves.

Elizabeth Linda Paterson was an old lady ,she was blind,and could barely walk . Her only contact with the outside world was a food delivery package once a week.She lived in a condominium containing  36 other  units .

The smell probably got too much and concerned residents called on outside agencies to intervene.The Fire Brigade visited and found her condo in an awful state ,Elizabeth was living in one room at the back.There was discarded waste including human waste everywhere.It was a health hazard and attracting all sorts of vermin.

Elizabeth was taken to hospital,where she later died.

The property itself, as her Estate,is being sued by local authorities and is regarded as a “Public Hazard” and permission and the cost of the clean up will have to come from her estate as no other estate members have come forward

A sad end to a human being in this day and age to be classed as a “Public Hazard”.I suppose it could happen anywhere.

Some Holywood person has won a modelling competition and I congratulate them.

I will not go into details but they are about twenty and (if you admire striking blondes) they are absolutely stunning.They are what is commonly known as trans, whether this means they are transitioning to one sex or wish to express both sexes or indeed a third sex I am not sure.

Your view on that question matters if you have a view,most just choose to be themselves and get on with their lives.Which I assume is what this person is doing.

It doesn’t matter, the competition’s rules put them at the top of a beauty contest and they can celebrate the fact.

However , it is one form of beauty,one that most people cannot aspire to, because one size does not fit all.Which surely is the point.

One size does not fit all,very few people can be models and clothes look good on everyone no matter their shape,sexual orientation or whatever they believe in.

So rest easy, the person won, but we are all winners in our own way.We may not fit Hollywood’s beauty criteria but then again we don’t come from Hollywood.Why should we?

So be confident in yourself, no matter what.I worry that this narrow definition of beauty will do to this person in the future,or what steps they will take to enjoy their life.I wish them the best ,but not the power to influence others who can never reach this definition of “beauty”.

It seems even the dead aren’t safe from climate change.

The Ancient Egyptians had to put up with tomb robbers and now their  tombs and the  artefacts  wihin them have to recorded and preserved before they are destroyed by flood waters

Archaeologists found a previously unknown 3000 year old tomb while doing a survey and clearing debris to prevent damage caused by heavy downpours which  have caused flash flooding and which potentially  will  endanger the tombs already identified,including ancient paintings on their walls.

Researchers are working on understanding the locations of the tombs and also their reuse for later burials.The area they are working in is particularly interesting as the location was used by less high profile Egyptians  such as administrators and those who worked for the Pharohs

However, they are subject to a strict deadline as the flash floods are  a constant threat and time is of the essence to ensure the information relating to the tombs can be preserved.

This headline puzzles me on many fronts.First of all is CryptoCurrency genuine and does it work?

Secondly .Ben Delo ,a Sheffield Lad who is currently living in Hong Kong but is keen to move back to the UK to continue his support for Reform and help it form a Government by making British Politics a fair and level playing field.Why having left the UK is he so keen to nominate and elect a Prime Minister,can’t he just vote like the rest of us?

Mr Delo admitted  a Money Laundering breach in the United States in 2022 at  his Bitmex Crypto Trading Platform which Donal Trump pardoned him for in 2025.So what role does Crypto pay in money laundering and how serious was it?Was there any possibility of him going to jail if he had visited the United States before he was pardoned?

The Telegraph Newspaper allowed Mr Delo to write an article in its’ paper which again gives this man a profile where he is raised above our heads and allowed to pontificate.Why?

What exactly can you buy with Crypto Currency?
