Same old, same old. Your ‘political commentator’ hat is full of holes as ever – I’m fairly sure Clark will have his own subscriptions to gain an objective view, but you live in hope I guess. I thought you were going to give us some of the ordinary stuff you get up to, Michael? What really runs through the neurones in the wee hours. Not Ed Milliband surely, unless you have a secret fetish you haven’t told us about before…
I write prose and poetry and songs to pass the time when I can’t sleep. Here’s last nights effort to hopefully stimulate your imagination…
Before Dawn
In the hush before the morning breaks,
I catch the scent the night still keeps,
A ghost of rain, of you, of spring —
It drifts across my half-formed sleep.
The world is pale, the curtains sigh,
A breath, a trace, a whispered name,
And though I reach through empty air,
The warmth still answers just the same.You are the light that doesn’t fade,
The quiet pulse beneath the day,
Though time has thieved the form I knew,
It cannot take the scent of you.Your laughter sings in kettle’s steam,
The mirror blooms with morning’s dew,
I see your shadow brush the wall,
Then fade as if it always knew.
And I am neither lost nor found,
Just drifting where our echoes meet,
Between the dawn’s forgiving hands,
And memory’s unending beat.The clock forgets its ticking heart,
The birds begin, then hush their song,
For just a breath, the world stands still —
And you return, before the dawn.So I will rise and face the day,
As dream and daylight intertwine,
For though the years have slipped away,
Your spirit wakes in scent and shine.
And somewhere past the hint of blue,
Where love outlives the passing yawn,
I’ll meet you there — as light meets hue —
And hold you close, before the dawn.Shibboleth
top poem, thank you very much.Sir Keir Rodney Starmer is incredibly unpoplular in the U.K.
In Caerphilly The Labour vote collapsed by the same amount that the Reform vote increased 34%.
So Reform is going up in popularity and labour is going down in popularity, yet Sir keir hugs and kisses Zelenskky in London.
British Storm Shadow fired at Bryansk, in Russia.
Does Starmer think that going to war with Russia, will make the British people love and respect him.
Most likely, Starmer will become even more out of touch, no grasp on reality, a failed politician with a failing government.“coalition of the willing”
Evil people.
If Starmer and macron want Europe to go to war with Russia, they should both hold General Elections, specifically telling people they they want World war Three.
In Germany, largest Economy in the E.U., about one quarter of their Electricity production is from burning Coal.
In Poland,fifth largest Economy in the E.U., possibly soon to be fourth largest,
about 2/3 of their Electricity production comes from burning Coal.
In the U.K. we no longer burn Coal to make electricity.
Are we not wonderful?Water supply
In about 1850, there were 27 1/2 million people in the British isles, as the industrial Revolution had been ongoing for a hundred or more, by then the population was quickly increasing.
This meant that we had to create water systems and sewage systems, to allow increasing populations in urban settings.
many civilizations have failed when the have run out of usable water.
The Labour Administration want to create one a half million more homes over a five year period.
These houses and flats will need water and sewage systems.
Labour also want the U.K. to be the AI data hub for Europe, this will also use lots of water.
The Labour Administration have also given the go ahead for Sizewell C.
There have been local concerns about not enough water.
East Anglia is often called a desert because of the low water fall on that land.
There is no more rain falling today in 2025 than there was in 1850.
Yet we are heading towards three times the population, effectively meaning, we will only be allocated 1/3 of the water per person, that you could have had in 1850.
So, where will the extra water come from?Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said:
It is time to do big things and build big projects in this country again- and today we announce an investment that will provide clean, homegrown power to millions of homes for generations to come.
This government is making the investment needed to deliver a new golden age of Nuclear, so we can end delays and free us from the ravages of the Global Fossil Fuel Markets to bring bills down for good!
The government has confirmed it will take an initial 44.9% stake to become the single biggest equity shareholder in the project .
I have not seen much in the way of energy bills coming down, no doubt Ed Milliband knows what he is talking about.

“A new nuclear power station needs a vast supply of water. But where will Sizewell C get it from?”
There is not any spare fresh water.water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink.

“What might not have been immediately obvious in the coverage of the government’s decision was that the Planning Inspectorate, tasked with assessing such projects, had recommended that permission be refused. The problem, the examiners explained, was fairly simple: EDF couldn’t say exactly where it would obtain one of the main substances needed to make a nuclear power station work, that substance being water.”There is no spare water.
