S'MAI, BAWB!

I’ve been sent this picture of a train at the Heer 🇧🇪 - Givet 🇫🇷 border in 1984 - source: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=3454659718144669&set=gm.1270150273542340&idorvanity=213806799176698

The #CrossBorderRail line here was closed a few years later 😢

I went there in September - the drone pic shows more or less the same spot. Bushes growing on the lines, and old station Heer-Agimont

Re-opening this would make sense. But as it’s 🇫🇷 🇧🇪 I’m not holding my breath!

All three journalists arrested last week for covering the #JustStopOil protests were arrested for “suspicion of conspiracy to commit a public nuisance”. A new crime under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act passed by the Tory government. It carries a penalty of up to ten years in prison. It’s part of a government assault on our human rights, freedoms and ability to hold government to account. Time to take a stand.
Former Cabinet Minister George Eustice tells the Commons the Australia trade deal "is not actually a very good deal for the UK" blaming Liz Truss for "an arbitrary target to conclude Heads of Terms" by the G7 summit and "from that moment the UK was on the back foot"
