Where is the Outcry from Brexiters? 'Take back Control' and 'We want our sovereignity' were rallying cries from those supporting exit from the EU.   Why are they not protecting Brtitish interests from those foreigners who are gobbling up all our industry, infrastructure and housing? Today's news is that one of our largest technology businesses is being taken over by the Japanese.

Just over a year ago I wrote a blog about the documentary film 'Revolution' (see here) - it is a film about our ecosystem and our future - and full of hope. Well the activist and biologist Rob Stewart, who made the films is now making another film - and he needs help. It is a follow up to his first critically acclaimed film, Sharkwater.  The Sharkwater team write: When Sharkwater was

Just seen this from Caroline Lucas MP (Green Party) commenting on yesterday's speech: All of this talk of a ‘one nation’ Queen’s Speech is a meaningless side show from a Government intent on dividing this country with its relentless pursuit of austerity.
