AUDIO: The Handmade Tale
Last week’s rapacious UK budget is the latest sledgehammer blow to the economy, the high street, and, in particular, to small business.
This isn’t “incompetence”. This isn’t even “to appease the hard left”. This is entirely strategised, cynical warfare, which all the major parties are in on - and we, the British people, are the enemy.
Fortunately, however, we are fighting back.

Same happened around the canals.. Locks closed up from about 8th August.. Nothing getting through.. All the local businesses reliant on the summer passing trade.. Ie canalside pubs, village shops, canal boat holidays, local arts connected to the canal etc etc all impacted... the rivers and waterways Trust stating canals too low due to no water due to driest summer on record etc.. could this have been avoided? After summer season ended.. Its rained almost every day of course
The consequently done deeds of destruction prepared for decades by professional liars and their pawns are met by a hesitant awakening of the individual at whatever level each one is at while the sleep of still a rather large number of people continues... good luck coordinating this potential, for the spin doctors of the New Age, the pied pipers of the dawn are also already in place to greet the awakening people with a friendly "good morning", offering them a free cup of tea or coffee together with some twisted candy, you described that in the past. People want to arrive somewhere and rest. Good luck coordinating this all, but it's a learning process...here in WI it was the "healthy places" that became part of the machine first in 2020, but early on a "Freedom for Health" group was formed. And the sheriff didn't go along with the governor on the mask humbug. Good thoughts, Miri.
