5 YEAR PLAN: Today @KC_RHA released strategy to “Dramatically Reduce Unsheltered Homelessness.” Agency says there will be “measurable, accountable success.” But it’s based on failed “HOUSING FIRST” policy. No requirements for drug addiction and mental health treatment. #Seattle 
COSTS NEARLY 12 BILLION BUCKS: @KCCReaganDunn blasting @KC_RHA 5 year plan essentially saying the agency is focused on funding the wrong things. Says it will be a failure and black hole for tax payers. #Seattle #KingCounty #Bellevue #Kirkland #Redmond #FederalWay #Kent #Renton

@KentBylines @willfurnell Here is the poem that I wrote yesterday after seeing this free-running fox when out walking.
The Kent Fox, New Year 2021
There's no New Year for Mister Fox
It's just another winter day
No frontiers with their gates and locks
To steal his space and time away
Europeans together.

@KentBylines @willfurnell The springtime breeze and autumn gales
Observe no calendars or dates
The rhythmic trek of wolves and whales
Ignore men's flags and nation states.
At Kent's white cliffs her chalky hills
Beneath the sparkling waves advance
To rise and roll unfettered forth,

Ignore men's flags and nation states.

#UnitedKingdom #Kent #Coronavirus
After thousands of negative corona rapid tests in the Kent border region, most truck drivers were able to cross the border into France after standing still for days. "In the meantime, 15,526 # coronavirus tests have been carried out,"
After thousands of negative corona rapid tests in the Kent border region, most truck drivers were able to cross the border into France after standing still for days. "In the meantime, 15,526 # coronavirus tests have been carried out,"
tweeted British Transport Minister Grant Shapps on Saturday afternoon. "Only 36 positive results that will now be verified."
Only drivers with a negative Corona test result are currently allowed to cross the border from England to France by sea or through the tunnel because of a mutated virus variant. On Friday evening, around 3,000 trucks were still standing in a traffic jam,
The #Kent lorry debacle was not caused by Brexit. But it is very Brexity. Why? Firstly, because it shows once again the lack of preparation that has become a hallmark of Brexit, and of this government in particular. Even before the new covid variant was officially announced
there were already lorries building up at the ports. It would have been obvious that France and other EU countries would want to close their borders off to travellers coming from UK who might carry the new covid variant.
Yet the U.K. did not liaise with the French beforehand as to how to prevent blockages, because a Brexit UK government would never do that with the foreign countries that have in effect become our imaginary enemies, especially the bloody French. Boney! Macron! Same thing!
I’m increasingly convinced that #Kent is heading for an open revolt.
Even before #Brexit, there was already discontent about proposed house building in many parts of the country.

Decades of over-priced and unreliable train services have left the county’s 100s of 1000s of commuters in a constant state of expensive and exhausted frustration.
Meanwhile in #France,
"the peak of this second wave is over"
(according to the President in his Adress to the Nation):

Wait... "the peak is over" doesn´t mean "it´s back to normal"!
Confinement will only fall on December 15,
if there´s less than 5.000 new cases a day.
(today it´s ~9.000).
France is disappointed.🙁
Although they certainly can make it happen.

! UPDATE FROM THE FRONT !
Brave #Kent Free Forces fought off numerous attacks by Tories in the N & W under General Johnson near Chatham and counter-attacked in the SW toward Farage Battalion in Sussex. Johnson's allies attacked by sea, have been repulsed with heavy casualties.

In 2005, I set up a business selling CDs, namely mixtape CDs after graduating from Uni.
In 2006, my home was raided & my business was stopped. They said the CDs I was selling were in breach of copyright.

It was a complete shock as the exact same CDs I was selling were prevalent on most high streets and supermarkets. They were selling in their thousands in places such as #Tesco & #HMV. And #Woolworths were the actual UK Distributor of these CDs.
Refarding #Farage's 'videos' of migrants landing in #Kent:
The 'St Margaret's Bay' one he posted (just to pick one example) shows a different coastline in the background.
The 7 onboard suddenly become 4 then 11.

Video of them 'on the beach' after 'wading to shore' shows them bone dry from waist down.
Video of them walking away has them mostly wearing different clothes. And they appear to have suddenly gotten taller.
How many others are faked or composed of clips from elsewhere reused ?

If there truly is an ''INVASION !!'' of boats ''SEVERAL TIMES A DAY !!" then why would #Farage need to create a mini compilation of bits 'n' pieces of other vids - possibly from other countries, other years - to post ?
Lying is in his nature, it the only tool he has.

📌85% of world's 79.5 million forcibly displaced people are hosted in developing countries. Not #Europe. Not #Kent.

In fact, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Corona-ordinance really prohibits entry of people from international risk areas AND german risk areas as well.

Today is #VEDay when we remember the end of the war in Europe. Eric Ravilious never survived to see that Peace, & for his wife Tirzah, it left her a widow. War always means Lost Lives, unfulfilled paths, but Ravilious left behind such a legacy, so let’s see some of it from #WW2
At the beginning of #WW2 Eric Ravilious joined the Royal Observer Corps whose job it was to spot for enemy planes & had a vital role in the Battle of Britain. He painted this Observer’s Post in 1939. Original in @higginsbedford collection.

Flash flooding overnight, after two months of rain fell in just a few hours. I’m in #Snodland #Kent @GMB - as weather warnings are issued for other parts of the UK, with much more rain forecast over the next few days. #BritishSummerTime
Locals here in #Snodland say there’s been nothing like this for at least 40 years - the radar shows massive amounts of rainfall over last 24 hours, spreading from South East across England and Wales. #WeatherWarning #Floods @GMB @metoffice

My #countryhousepic today shows Sissinghurst Castle #Kent in the late 18th century. The great courtyard house was pulled down, probably in the 1790s, leaving only the gatehouse tower and outer court buildings that survive today.
The great house of Sissinghurst was built in two phases for Sir John Baker (d. 1558) and his son Sir Richard (d. 1594). The long range which greets visitors today dates from the 1530s (but was extended in the C17); the tower behind is of c.1560.
In the mid 18th century, Sissinghurst Castle was used as a prisoner of war camp for French sailors and soldiers captured during the Seven Years War. One of them drew a bird's eye view of the castle
