No. No. Stop it. Tusk didn't 'hit back' and he didn't accuse Johnson of anything. Here. The tweet is within the article.Tusk, an anglophile former Polish prime minister with a sharp turn of phrase, has been deeply frustrated by what he sees as Downing Street’s attempt to avoid responsibility.
...he decided it was time to hit back and accused Johnson directly of playing “some stupid blame game”... .

No hitting, no accusations. It's a straightforward communication from Tusk to Johnson. When leaders of nations like Johnson, for example, lie, contradict themselves spiralling out of control, it's not hitting back by writing factual information about it. It's a mealy-mouthed shabby and inaccurate reporting of what's going on. The two men aren't in the same league; it's stupid equalising Tusk's communication with Johnson's. Johnson is scary in front of everyone. We can all read and see it happening.Donald Tusk

.@BorisJohnson, what’s at stake is not winning some stupid blame game. At stake is the future of Europe and the UK as well as the security and interests of our people. You don’t want a deal, you don’t want an extension, you don’t want to revoke, quo vadis?

Street of 105 homes hailed as high-quality architecture in its most environmentally and socially conscious form (Guardian)
The only thing stopping people having affordable, safe, securely tenured and pleasant homes for living in is spite and greed.The 105 creamy-brick homes are designed to stringent Passivhaus environmental standards, meaning energy costs are around 70% cheaper than average. The walls are highly insulated and the roofs are cleverly angled at 15 degrees, to ensure each terrace doesn’t block sunlight from the homes behind, while letterboxes are built into external porches, rather than the front doors, to reduce any possibility of draughts.
On Monday, the US district judge Victor Marrero in Manhattan described the immunity argument as “extraordinary” and as “an overreach of executive power [that was] repugnant to the nation’s governmental structure and constitutional values”.
In a 75-page decision, the judge added: “The court cannot square a vision of presidential immunity that would place the president above the law.”

Interesting. Something else I'm unable to recall at the moment piqued my interest in Norfolk. Areas of natural beauty and distinctive dwellings fitting into the landscape. Is there something particular in Norfolk's history in general producing useful, beautiful infrastructure now?HindleA wrote:We loved and often went to Norwich,the only place we found a choice of three accessible toilets subject to left/right/centre transfer needs.
