You in your happy place yet? ?

In Scotland, without size measurements, rocky ground, I'd say 57 years each ? -
Never mind history. What's new in the news? Flipping hot, I say
-
So what do we do about it? Ignore it? It's nice to know what our leaders want us to believe. But why? Is being woke like being a sparrow?
-
Being woke certainly is a right condition

Any libertarians got opinions on Koch, Soros, & other billionaires who make it their business to swing other people's?

I'm not anti-expat. Many go abroad for better prospects. I'm saying 2 things: there is welfare even for off-shore wealth when things go pear-shaped and if they bring their wealth home to support themselves then they'll boost the economy by being here. Either way they're our citizens and they're welcome (i.e. a place to live, plenty to eat and hopefully employment). The prodigal jibe was at the well known standard of life out there. None will be skint

Good job we've got free housing and free food for these white collar prodigals. Over 200,000. Welcome back

Why methodically dismantle above live wires when you can winch at speed? ?
-
Yep. Momentum can't agree on where to go so are dismantling the party from within
-
True. The left used to have ideas. Their prob now is no political party can inclusively appeal to all the hyper diverse "communities" in the UK. When each insists only it's issues matter and stuff everyone else's, what can be done other than resort to status quo (Rockin all over the world!)? Got any pointers?

but they can influence policy. Labour's role in opposition is to correct wayward factions under Boris's helm. Some call it consolidation. Afterall, politicians care what their public thinks of them

Pre-Corbyn, the tories ridiculed Ed Milliband for proposing "marxist" caps on energy prices, only to then find that polls liked it and so the tories legislated it in themselves. Tories often adopt Labour policy for their own agenda to hold power no matter what.

Gor! You're a fast reader! ?

Remembering George Galloway's The Killings of Tony Blair, they're already trying to revise Corbyn legacy (pa'interviewed by Peter Oborne, Tory Journalist) https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/killing-jeremy-corbyn https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/jeremy-corbyn-labour-interview-transcript-full

I must try and remember to stop vomiting in public. I'm too old for that

Maybe the UK should plant more....

Is Continuous Cover still practised? -
More than 50 years ago, an artist exhibited a re-created bare tree. Like a life-size dead sculpture. I've forgotten the details. Hope you can help. Believe it was an apple. The tree was excavated whole and every branch and twig was cut and saved, every root exposed intact then cut, recorded until it was dismantled enough to be moved. Each piece was labeled ready for its reconstruction back onto the stem in the gallery. It had a mirroring affect, as above so below. A bit like this. Can anyone remember?

Well remembered in the context of statues. We don't always need to box instances into categories like a bloody rationalist might i.e. material accounting. Children and oldies see more than those incapable of doing anything other than ranking by species, number or density to calculate their marketable value. A grove could mark an event. A place to return to; to remember an earlier time. Nowadays we pass them on our way to somewhere else. Little wonder we have time to stop and look.

don't doubt it ?

not for long he ain't. He's got alot of work catching up, putting the rest of us uppity types back in our cages
-
You're right, I'd better stop

Is the left's only job to express dissatisfaction with the present?
-
Aren't Progressives moved by the promise of a better future?
