This is just insane! Swindon is the only place I know of where the council charges £37 per stall to trade at an event, on top of the pitch fee. This means...
4x3m stall + Council tax fee = £500 for one Sunday trade in Swindon? 😳

And then people are surprised that nothing happens in Swindon and why Swindon is a shilhole! I mean...
A stall in a 3-day festival costs around £300 to £350 (never heard of council tax extra charge)

Dear Friends of 'The Happy',

Remember them?

Before we were shitted on again
by the Caroteen turd Emperor
and pervert of #Imperial America...
Making everywhere worse - again?

'Well the dimes they are a changing'
As Bob #Dylan sang so poignantly

Here is a list of happies:
1: Trillionaire Kong #Charles of
Ding-Dong Land is moving all his extended #Co-op family into #council accomodation. Shack and awe.
2: #Water, #Air, #Land, #Sea and #Sky
now belong to the people to improve and
use as national and Gaia #treasures
3: Corporate wealth, resource theft and
profiteering is now freely reported by
#citizen journalists

That all makes me very #happy
as does the current crop of niave
newlings and extreme eco locaters
yodellers and lovies
I am about to #forage for some food
in the fridge. Feed my fledglings
and learn dangerous new skills
e.g.:
1. Rewriting the #future
2. Living forward to more #kindnes,
#happiness and #magick
3. Harvesting solutions

Agi: Chi è l'attentatore di Modena. Salvini: criminale 'di seconda generazione'

AGI - Il giovane fermato dalla polizia e portato in qestura per aver investito alcuni passanti a Modena, a quanto si apprende, ha 31 anni ed è un italiano di origine marocchina residente in provincia di Modena. È stato bloccato da una volante della Polizia dopo essere sceso dall'auto con in mano un coltello, cercando di fuggire facendosi largo tra i passanti.
Secondo quanto si apprende l'uomo sarebbe incensurato. Al momento si trova in questura per l'interrogatorio necessario a far luce sull'accaduto.
Salvini: criminale di 'seconda generazione'
"Salim El Koudri. Questo il nome del criminale 'di seconda generazione' che oggi a Modena ha falciato, con la sua auto a folle velocità, dei passanti innocenti. Fermato da coraggiosi cittadini nonostante avesse un coltello, è stato arrestato. Non ci può essere nessuna giustificazione per un delitto così infame". Lo afferma sui social Matteo Salvini, vicepresidente del Consiglio e leader della Lega.

Who is the attacker in Modena? Salvini: a 'second-generation' criminal.

AGI - The young man arrested by the police and taken into custody for having hit several pedestrians in Modena, according to what is learned, is 31 years old and is of Moroccan-Italian origin, residing in the province of Modena. He was stopped by a patrol car of the Police after getting out of the car with a knife in his hand, trying to escape by clearing a path through the pedestrians.
According to what is learned, the man is reportedly without a criminal record. He is currently at the police station for the necessary interrogation to shed light on the incident.
Salvini: 'Second Generation' Criminal
“Salim El Koudri. This is the name of the ‘second generation’ criminal who today in Modena slaughtered, with his car at high speed, innocent pedestrians. Stopped by courageous citizens despite having a knife, he was arrested. There can be no justification for such a shameful crime.” This is what says Matteo Salvini, Vice President of the Council and leader of the Lega, on social media.

“A 15,000 sq metre #DataCentre near Perth will no longer go ahead after the developer withdrew plans amid community opposition over its impact on culturally significant sites. The three-storey, 120-megawatt #GreenSquare datacentre in the town of #Hazelmere had been intended to power #CloudComputing and the acceleration of #ArtificialIntelligence, but faced fierce community backlash.

A City of #Swan council review of the proposed development, which was to be located 15km east of #Perth, attracted almost 1,900 public submissions. The #council last week released its responsible authority report into the datacentre, in which council staff recommended rejecting the proposal.

In the event of a power outage, the noise of the #DieselGenerators needed to keep the centre in operation would exceed allowable daytime and night-time levels, the council found. A nearby #school and local #residents would have faced the noise had the generators been in operation.”
