Only one regular hedgehog visitor atm. My smallest one and they clearly know the drill, they are busy putting on weight in preparation for hibernation visiting the feeder back and forth from dusk till dawn. I won’t interfere yet but may weigh them later in the month.

The new feeding station has definitely foiled the cats too.

Look at that little face! Wouldn’t want to mess though.

It's been suggested Image Wood in #Aberdeenshire is a ‘transitional-type’ stone circle - the shift from older, recumbents to the later, smaller four-posters? #StandingStoneSunday

A nervous energy grips the city as I walk from Parliament Square to Trafalgar. The tube was packed with people clad in Union flags, chanting “Engerland, Engerland, Engerland, Oh Tommy Tommy”. A woman wears a t-shirt declaring her definition of womanhood.

It’s quiet, for the moment. Huge screens are still being erected down Whitehall while a loyal crowd forms to be first to hear the rallying cries. People clad in Stone Island and the St George’s Cross line the street.

Tourists look on with indifference. I don’t think they understand what’s coming. Police officers quip with the public, as they do at many protests. I see a Jewish man waving an Israeli flag and wonder if he has thought about whom he associates with.

This isn’t a crowd, it’s a movement infecting the Kingdom.

Who will turn the tide?

What’s the difference between left and right? As far as I see it, the right are organised and have a plan.
That plan involves, over a long period of time, gaining power and maintaining it by implementing structural changes.
It cares little for:
- moral purity
- being right
- being nice
- being fair
- being consistent
- doing good things to make life better for anyone.
It’s a straightforward power play.
Unless the more progressive people play on the same board as the reactionary set, we’ll lose.
