“This is a Christian nation”
Now I’m not American so I’m willing to be corrected here, but I’m pretty damn certain it’s supposed to be a secular nation…
I wanted to know the same thing so this is what my searching has brought up, specifically for Scots Gaelic as that’s what I’ve been learning.
Speak Gaelic - Gaelic only, government funded, free
IndyLan - for endangered European languages, made by Heriot-Watt University and EU funded, free
Mango Languages - appears to be the closest to a Duolingo replacement. Many languages, subscription.
Glossika - another Duo replacement however that URL doesn’t fill me with confidence that they’re not going down the same route… Subscription for most languages, endangered ones are free.
Apart from the first Mango lesson for free and a few IndyLan lessons I’ve not tried any of these so can’t speak for their quality but thought a list might still be handy.
Nancy Birtwhistle has some great books that can help a bit with the cost of living. They include recipes for your own cleaning products and toiletries. It’s only a few £s here and there but they start to add up into some real savings, plus you get the benefit of knowing exactly what’s in your products, peace of mind from potential health effects, as it’s all vinegars, citric acids, and alcohols instead of (to the layman) mystery chemicals.
And to save even more money they are available on the high seas, although she’s put considerable care and attention into them so I’ve purchased the real things. But for getting started, they are available is all I’m saying.
Obviously that doesn’t help with buying a house or anything as they’re crazy prices everywhere but it’ll save you on your shopping bills each week at least.
Just grab them as low to the ground as you can and pull them out, taking as much root with it as you can. The plant will focus its nutrients and efforts on the sections not being torn out. Any time you see another escapee, grab it and pull. They will become less frequent as the main body fleshes out and grows.
Nature doesn’t like bare empty spaces so consider filling in that large empty barked area with some more crops and raspberry escapees will have some competition and become less likely as well.
But… But… The BBC said the hot weather was a good thing!
What I find interesting is all the blame appears to be getting laid at Toby’s feet. They’re not tree experts, why are the people that felled it not also under fire?
They of everyone involved should have known best to say “fuck no, I ain’t cutting that down”. But they were paid to cut down a tree so they took the money and cut down the tree.
That’s not to say the carvery shouldn’t be under fire, I just think the tree experts should be mostly held accountable rather than a pub manager.

No dig gardening is a method that can help you get rid of your grass without the effort of digging or renting equipment.
Will he ever leave office?
Also, Trump isn’t the only reason all of this shit is going down. It’s the entire Republican party. It’s every ICE agent, it’s the Supreme Court deciding a president is above the law, America is rotten to the core.
Richest country on the planet with plenty of land, many climates allowing a diverse range of crops, and various resources like oil and ores. And they’ve fucked it, just to get their hands on more and more dollars, to what purpose? Greedy fucks.
