Three Cranes

Well I finally broke the alcohol fast with a pint of Doombar at the Three Cranes  - named after the Three Cranes snickelway right next to it. 

Doom bar is from Rock in Cornwall, and I remembered back to the time I first arrived in the Uk from South Africa when I stayed in a pub/guesthouse outside Penzance. I was there to complete a special mission to the Scilly Isles during the solar eclipse in March 2015. Here is s picture I painted of the event:


The pub turned out to be a bit basic - a traditional pub with basic furnishings, loud music and busy on a Thursday evening.


News item


I have to say that I have not seen the "official" news today. Instead I listened to Ian Crane's latest report from Kirby Misperton where they are getting ready to frack. The local police are struggling  - they made arrests of innocent protesters with all the bad publicity.  Ian Crane explains this as he has seen a memo with the establishment's plan - for the local police to fail, to generate a momentum for change. The change that they want is to privatise the policing of corporate power by giving Group 4 (and others) the right of arrest. That will be another nail in our freedom to protest - effectively bringing in a police state and fascism. Reading the game plan can be a bit depressing, as so few people see what is happening right on their noses. Please watch the video (only 17mins)
