Roving undercover police squads who fine men £100 for catcalling women in the street are set to roll out across London, a Metropolitan police chief has said.

The scheme is already underway in Redbridge, a borough in northeast London, with patrols every night of the week by both uniformed and plain clothes officers.

Chief Inspector Louise Jackson, who leads on violence against women and girls in East London, said she was in “no doubt” that this would expand across the capital.

but not as you know it.

I received email as I support this subject. Let us stop great suffering. Should you have the same views please join. Lonicera


I was recently appointed the new Chair of Dignity in Dying. Some don’t expect a minister of religion to hold this position but I support Dignity In Dying because of my beliefs, not in spite of them.

As a Rabbi, I have seen many people in great pain and suffering at the end of their lives. At first, I accepted it. And then there came a tipping point where I thought: this cannot be right.
Lonicera, will you join Dignity in Dying as a member today and support the campaign to stop 17 people a day suffering as they die?

Join now >>

You may be surprised to learn that 79% of religious people support assisted dying. The problem is that many in the religious hierarchy refuse to acknowledge the widespread support in their communities.

Religious attitudes that deny people choice force people to suffer and are completely out of step with 21st century Britain. There is no sanctity in suffering, nor anything holy about agony. Religious priorities should be about compassion and care, and I challenge those who are putting their archaic idea of God above the needs of dying people.

Our country is closer than ever to achieving true choice at the end of life, something that the British public, from all walks of life, are crying out for.
But we can’t take on anti-choice campaigners without you, . Will you join our campaign for compassion and choice at the end of life?

Yes, I'll join as a member >>

I would like to pay tribute to my predecessor, Baroness Molly Meacher. She has been an integral part of the campaign for many years and will be remaining at Dignity in Dying as our Honorary President. I also look forward to working alongside Chris Creegan, a leader in the third and public sectors in Scotland, who was elected as Vice Chair.

Most importantly I look forward to campaigning alongside you, and all supporters of a more compassionate law, as we build an unstoppable movement. Together, we will change the law.

Thank you,

Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain
Chair, Dignity in Dying

A recent TV program revealed with almost certainty how Amelia Earhart died.
It was conducted by an investigation team using the latest evidence.

Amelia Earhart was born in 1897 and was 39 years old when she disappeared in 1937.
She was a world renown female aviator and held many records, including being the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.

In 1937 Amelia and her navigator Fred Noonan took off from Miami on a round-the world flight.
The last contact with Amelia was on her route to Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean. After which she completely disappeared. The mystery of her death has existed until recently.

It is concluded that Amelia and her navigator lost their way and crash landed on a small Japanese held island and were taken prisoner. They were transferred to Saipan by the Japanese and held for several years, after which they were finally executed most likely by beheading and buried in shallow graves.

The web is full of information on this subject, but here is one link -

Abraham Lincoln said...

We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.

But didn't deal with it and lost interest. Very lively rat ran into lounge and is under settee. I went to the shed at the bottom of the garden (with torch) to get rat poison. Put two small trays of "humane" poison pellets down. Closed door and put label on in case I forget. The instructions are to keep replacing eaten food until not eaten - and will probably work within 48 hours. However, I infer from the instructions that this is for an infestation -and this is for a single rat (I hope). So am hoping it will die quite quickly, then I can dispose of it safely.
Don't know what else I could have done.
Any advice?

Haven't got a humane rat trap - only for mice. Have never seen a humane rat trap.
We have rats at the bottom of our very long garden but there is a turkey farm a short field away, and a horse and stable 3 houses away - so no hope of eliminating them.

Post from a local Beekeeper 🐝
“Its late, and maybe in the morning I'll delete this post, but I've just got home and for now I need to write this down.
Earlier this evening I received a message from a home owner to say they had a swarm of bees in their hedge, but they were worried about them because children had been throwing water at them.
By the time my fellow beekeeper and I arrived, what had been a beautiful prime swarm was reduced to a few hundred drenched bees, huddling limply around their queen.
I've already deleted the photos of the puddles of water, the dripping wet hedge, and the many, many dead and dying bees that hadn't been able to escape the attack; sharing those pictures serves no purpose.
We gently placed the bees that had survived into a collection box, and hopefully tomorrow, when they've had chance to dry out and settle, we'll check on them and if necessary feed them; they'll be exhausted and possibly (understandably) defensive. They've been through a lot.
Please, please, help me to educate your children, your grandchildren, your neices and nephews, your neighbours, your colleagues and your friends that a swarm of bees isn't dangerous - they're amazing creatures that are just looking for a new home.
Please don't let anyone harm them. Just call a beekeeper who will gladly rehome them.
Please help me to spread this message and hopefully save any more bees from being unnecessarily harmed” 😢

I see this every day as children are pushed, pulled or are even completely ignored trying to keep up with a parent with their head down texting or face timing someone else . No wonder so many are way behind in their development. Not talking properly, dummies in their mouths or not potty trained at four years old. Some look so sad and lost 🥲

Racquets stringed with cat gut give a player more feeling than one stringed with polyester. Hence the phrase, having a gut feeling.

The boys under-21 football team became European champions last night for the first time since 1984. They beat Spain 1-0 in the final. The winning goal coming from a free kick just before half time. There was sporting drama at the end when the VAR awarded Spain a penalty in the final minute of the 6 that were added on by the Referee. Thankfully the England keeper saved the penalty and saved the rebound.
England went through the whole tournament without conceding a goal.

Last week a white French traffic policeman stopped a car for a traffic violation. When he saw the driver was a French man of North African / Arab heritage he shot him in the head and killed him. Allegedly he was aiming for his leg.
There has been rioting across France every night since.
The policeman has been suspended and faces prosecution.
There has been two GoFundMe pages setup for the innocent victims family and for the guilty policeman. One has raised £1.5m the other £200k. I think it shows how racist the French are.
