Final decision on disputed price controls for 5 water companies An independent group of experts appointed by the CMA has decided how much revenue 5 water companies are allowed following their rejection of Ofwat’s decision.

Competition regulator allows additional 2% -4% increase in England water bills on appeal.

Regulators side with industry.

Companies to collect more money from captive customers, dump sewage in rivers, pay dividends, exorbitant exec pay.

Rip-off continues. Who protects people?

Not yet.

But all perfectly normal and business as usual for the Royals. We need to understand the whole awful mess and how the cover up has been working for years with gold star twaddle regarding ‘service’.

I’ve watched a few interviews with the author and he had to leave so much out (legal reasons) so hope that all is in the public domain.

My lengthy hold with the library has finally produced the book. I don’t expect it to be good for the blood pressure.

Moin A-W and all. Lights out at 9.30 last night after a busy WE: 2 garden centres, a substantial spring clean and some bulk cooking.
Just seedling checks today and rest in a tidy house.
Have a good day.

Hannah Spencer being harrassed by fascist YouTube streamers in Manchester, every week they are at it

Nothing says "we support women's rights" like a bunch of beardy cunts forming a mob in order to harass a woman *about women's rights*.

That’s a low bar.

Morning Caroline and all. Still asleep really.
Have a good day.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

And Feargal Sharkey was really positive about helping Labour in the run up to the election because he came to support my MP.

What a tragedy.
Who is advising Labour now ??

Spot on.

A penguin livestream? 🩷

Thanks. This is the first year we have felt able since 2008 and a team of 3 to work on it.
Prices are a bit eye-watering for good size plants.

Over 1000 civilians dead, and we're letting Trump use UK bases to further his war.

Britain should stand firm against Trump's illegal warmongering, and stop these bombers landing on UK soil.

I love growing what I want from seed if possible. So many years the garden had the minimum done or we tried employing help, but that mainly involved glyphosphate. Hoping this time they can help not hinder.

For once I have organised most of the winter jobs and am onto seedling care to fill the gaps. This is rare but hope that the help is reliable and follows instructions. Having planted everything over the years I hate anyone too aggressive in their approach, especially at this time of year.

Why is this called "sabotage" and "hybrid warfare"? It's terrorism

I’m glad the January 10pm low flights ceased but still at least 3 a day in this part of EA.

No one appears interested in telling them to leave.

To their eternal shame they failed to do so and thousands died - not to mention the potential for onward transmission to patients.

An analogy would be "bees spreading pollen between flowers they visit" vs "medics spreading virus between patients they visit in a hospital".

I hope this helps.

They effectively retain droplets from nose/mouth and reduce the amount of the tiny, almost invisible aerosols by about 50% - the rest will escape around the edges as they are not tight-fitting to the face.

I hope that the former members of the "IPC Cell" and those who oversaw their secretive activities during the height of the pandemic are taking careful notice.

Ditto: Their supporters and current proponents of the big lie that surgical masks protect against an airborne disease.

We were failed - and we continue to be failed - because of pride, greed and cowardice.
Generations of people suffer chronic illness, disability, and early death because of governmental decisions to lie.
Millions of healthcare workers don't use basic infection control because they were lied to.

And how are you?

All the wrong people have imposter syndrome.

Moin CiF and all.
No heavy rain as forecast but grey skies again. Some house jobs and more work on the bear with a new daylight lamp.
Have a goo day.
