This is BRILLIANT! But it shouldn’t surprise anyone. Yuval Noah Harari is a brilliant man with a brilliant mind.

I am re-posting it soon after posting it the first time because it is a lesson which benighted people everywhere need to learn and understand. When it comes to homosexuality, most of the world is still in complete darkness. Ignorance and superstition abound. – © Mark Alexander

Michael Lambert: Treasury Minister Accused of Embezzling Billions

Dec 21, 2024 | Tulip Siddiq, Treasury Economic Secretary, faces allegations of corruption linked to a £10bn 2013 deal with Russia, to build a nuclear power station in Bangladesh where her aunt Sheikh[a] Hasina was prime minister before being deposed in August of this year.

Hasina is accused of receiving up to £4bn of kickbacks in a deal which reportedly involved Tulip Siddiq who denies any wrongdoing. Despite photographic evidence of Siddiq's presence at the deal signing alongside Hasina and Vladimir Putin, Siddiq claims her involvement was a 'family occasion' although it is alleged by others that she was involved in negotiating the deal. Keir Starmer has stood by Siddiq, saying she has his full confidence and will still be responsible for tackling corruption on behalf of the government.

The economic impact of Brexit persists with UK exporters losing £27bn in EU goods sales due to trade barriers. Notably, 16,400 firms halted EU exports entirely. Labour leader Keir Starmer proposes renegotiating EU trade terms but maintains a firm stance against restoring freedom of movement even for young people on temporary visas.

Domestic challenges continue with Thames Water fined £18.2m for paying 'unjustified' dividends of £131m whilst the CEO of Severn Water was paid £3.2m in 2023 which is twenty times the salary of the prime minister.

Inflation is at 2.6%, (joint G7-highest with Japan) and there have been two successive months of no economic growth.

Meanwhile, Dover’s underfunded inspections revealed substantial smuggling of unsafe food, including 6 tonnes of rotten and potentially lethal meat raising public health concerns.

Boris Johnson has been telling television viewers in New Zealand that the UK is experiencing a 'brain drain' much of which was caused by his incompetence and dishonesty.

On January 1st the UK joins the CPTPP which will make any return to the EU almost impossible. It will be made even more difficult once the government's 72 Special Economic Zones and 14 Freeports open since these would not be acceptable to the EU given their well-known attraction to smugglers, tax evaders and money launderers. complicating prospects of ever rejoining the EU.

Hungry Man Kitchen: Ultimate Turkish STUFFED ONIONS – How to Make Sogan Dolmasi

Dec 20, 2024 | Sogan Dolmasi (Soğan Dolması) is a type of dolma dishes, a stuffed vegetable dish with origins in the Ottoman Empire. Dolma dishes are prevalent across Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisines and have been enjoyed for centuries. In Ottoman times, stuffed vegetables were a symbol of abundance and creativity in the kitchen. While dolma can be made with peppers, zucchini, eggplants, and grape leaves (usually called sarma as they are rolled), this version features large onions as the star ingredient, stuffed with a rich lamb and bulgur filling.

This particular version, common in south-eastern Turkey, is beloved for its balance of spicy, tangy, and savory flavors, enhanced by pomegranate molasses and red pepper paste (biber salcasi), which are staples in the region. The sauce, made with infused sumac, gives it an extra tang, bringing out the sweetness of the onions while making each bite burst with flavor.

George Michael : One More Try | Remastered | Official Video | Reupload

Sep 8, 2010

That air looks very smoky to me. I’d love to be able to smell it! More than two years and eight months have passed now since I quit smoking. And since quitting, I have hardly ever smelt cigarette smoke! I know no-one who still smokes – unfortunately! I’d love to smell the smoke from someone’s burning cigarette. Especially at Christmas. It’s very unlikely to happen, though. Brits are too PC and woke these days ever to light up.

When I was growing up, many people smoked. Both cigarettes and, especially at Christmas, also cigars. On Christmas morning in my home, we’d have so many visitors for snacks and drinks that the air would be thick with the gorgeous smell of smoke and the smell of the huge turkey roasting in the oven in the kitchen. Oh to re-live those wonderful aromas! That, for me, was Christmas. What can be experienced today pales by comparison. Smoking really does need to be made cool again! – © Mark Alexander
