Happy Arraignment Day.
A man beat a horse with a hammer. Here is the story:
A professional horse farrier in the UK was sentenced to just 12 weeks in prison and a mere 10-year ban on owning animals after video footage showed him brutally beating a horse with a hammer.
Sign now to tell the UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to review this case. It must ask that authorities sentence this person to a lifetime ban on animal ownership and revoke his farrier license!
Apparently it all happened after the man was re-shoeing the horse and “lost his temper.”
The horrific footage depicts a terrified horse restrained, tied to a rope, and incapable of fleeing this man’s violent beatings. His attack on this poor animal lasted almost seven minutes. The man hit the horse with a hammer six times, striking its front legs. How could authorities allow him to get anywhere near a horse again?
Any animal abuse is tragic, but in this case, the abuse was coming from a professional whom both horses and horse owners trust. This is especially gut wrenching – clearly, this man is not fit to be a farrier or ever own an animal again in the future!
A 10-year animal ban is simply not enough for a man who attacks an animal with a weapon, and “losing his temper” is no excuse.
He should never be allowed to go anywhere near an animal again. Not in 10 years, not in 50 years.
Thanks to Hetty for sending me this.

I see Trump giving his great not guilty speech at magalago was televised, I couldn’t watch more than about 3 seconds, he should be in jail. Democracy Now on YouTube had a good piece on it, sounds like his criminality goes back a long way indeed.
On top of everything else, there’s a coronation to be annoyed by, happening soon. The new portrait of him, makes him look too accommodating, as if he is nice, not a very good likeness. Portraiture is not easy, you have to reveal the soul for it to be competent. I only did one portrait engraving, of an old friend who didn’t like it. It’s a bit flawed, but no one’s perfect.

Wee tale from yesterday’s o’brien radio programme.
Subject:- river pollution.
Phone in call spoke of his sewage system, his house is next to a river but Not connected to the mains system as his house is lower than the local sewage works.
Solution, same as many places, the septic tank.
Result:- he has to pay £400 to have his tank emptied when getting full.
A charge included is £100 to have it dumped into the local mains treatment plant for them to process.
His witness is that on occasions the water company just dump it into the river, Untreated, and don’t return to him the treatment charge.
The green and pleasant? rivers of englandland.
Some places in Scotland also discharge septic tanks into the environment.

During the times when we were locked down, the Tories in Scotland got in the most terrible state about what it would do to the tourist trade. I think some of them own hotels (you might know it would be selfish).
Maybe the English Tories, being posher, don’t dabble in that sort of “trade” but you would have thought that all the closed beaches, and stories of rivers running with raw sewage might have caused a bit of a backlash. After all, they’ve made it really hard for people to go abroad, so you’d have imagined the hotels would be gearing up for a busy season. I imagine that the thought of their kids paddling in sh*t would put many off.
I have to go to England later this year, but I won’t be going near the coast or near any rivers. And I’ll be drinking bottled water.

The water companies are, as you say, largely owned aboard (as indeed are the train companies and the electricity and gas companies), so they couldn’t care less what English water is like or if there’s an outbreak of polio or typhoid… or indeed if nobody wants to go to the beach resorts in the South of England.
