Sad to say at Westminster Magistrates’ Court six border officials – from Berkshire, Kent, Surrey and London have been charged with thefts of property from migrants arriving at Dover between August 2021 and November 2022. They have been bailed ahead of a further hearing at Southwark Crown Court on 26th February 2025

The case follows work done by the Home Office Anti-Corruption Investigators.

Shocked? I was. Not something that has a high profile in the News, didn’t even know that the Home Office had a department of Anti- Corruption Investigators. Are they still getting funding?

Beechings cuts of the 1960’s of local railway lines and stations in the British Isles has had a devastating effect both on the environment and the way of life of British towns and villages.

There is a little light being made in a very dark tunnel where a local Labour MP Amanda Hack is looking for funding to restore what is called ” The Ivanhoe Line” which connects Liecester and Burton-upon-Trent through North West Leicerstershire and South Derbyshire.

There is an existing line to carry freight , so a passenger line would make a lot of sense reducing congestion on the roads and buses.

The money was made available by the previous Conservative Government, but due to so called savings that the new Labour Government wanted to make the improvements were cancelled. This is so short sighted it is painful. There is an opportunity to do a small right to the big wrongs of Beeching, this is absolutely a no brainer. The money could be funded by HS2 as they have housing stock which once the work on the high speed train is finished the houses will be sold. Why not for the “Ivanhoe line”?

There is a Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage known as the Vienna Convention, which the African Country Burkina Faso’s transitional assembly has voted to sign.

This paves the way for Burkina Faso’s first Nuclear Power Plant which is being supplied by Russia. This will give energy security and boost energy capacity for the Country.

It’s important to know that this is one of 20 nuclear energy partnerships that the Russians have signed across the African Continent to date. Africa, clearly doesn’t that think the fossil fuel route is a good one.

There’s a place called Buster Hill in Hampshire, England where occasionally some Highland Cows like to wander around as it ‘s their perfect terrain, full of gorse , the cows walk around daintily on their hooves and get some exercise. Enter humanity.On a bright summers day someone takes a picture of the Cows doing what cows like to do , chewing the cud and admiring the view and subsequently publish it on Social Media.

Towards the end of January this year, in declining weather conditions, three humans after discovering the Social Media Post decide to go searching for the cows in the wet and cold crossing wet gorse which is tangly underfoot with hidden hoof divets, excellent for hurting your ankle.

The three humans eventually realise it’s getting dark and cold and still no sign of the cows, so they contact Hampshire Fire and Rescue to rescue them from the pickle they’ve gotten themselves into . Dutifully they are rescued. Where were the cows? The cows were probably comfortably asleep in their barn, it is winter after all.

It’s not the Pandas it’s Taiwan. Sad to say humans have brought animals into their conflict again. Poor Pandas, having the life of Riley in Japan, they were born there and now they have to go back to China who seem just to use them in bargaining powers to get bigger and better trade deals. In all honesty if China had have left the Pandas alone they probably would be extinct by now, and the World Wildlife Fund wouldn’t have a motto. Hope the Japanese Pandas have a good life in China, I suppose the Chinese have been very good at breeding them.

I’ve got to say what immediately struck me with this Headline was today, Tuesday 27th January, is Holocaust Remembrance Day. All victims of the Holocaust both Jew and non-Jew are remembered. I wish I could get the pictures of what happened during that period and what is still happening today into those protesters heads and the Politicians that support them.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Intrigued that the Bundeswehr(an army of the German Parliament) tasked with German National Defence, Nato alliance commitments and International Crisis Management deployed 15 of their (260,000)number on a reconnaissance mission to Greenland for 15 days and called them back 1 day earlier due to deteriorating weather conditions. Welcome to Greenland. Let’s face it it’s one of the most inhospitable places on earth and therefore one of the most beautiful. The Bundeswehr were part of a force which consisted of a number of Nato countries in Peace Time mode and their presence was purely to assess the terrain which they obviously did and decided to pack up early.
