‘We had a seance to channel John Lennon’: how Wah! made The Story of the Blues - ‘We got hold of a drum machine but there was no manual. That’s why the song has a weird conga pattern – we didn’t know how to delete it’The early singles by Wah! Heat were indie hits because John Peel championed them. I went to meet him at a Fall gig in Manchester. The Fall were fantastic, but it... #theguardian

Indeed, would it just apply to Slavery Could the govrnment also face huge lawsuits from the indigenous population.
What about what happened in South America, with the Incas, Aztecs et al wiped out by Europeans, either through violence or simply spreading disease.
I know in the US the Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves, if I understand my history then this was signed by Abraham Lincoln

I agree, where does this end, ?perhaps we should sue Italy for the Romans invading the UK.
Rather than banning fireworks, why don't they come up with punishments that goes after those who target emergency service workers, and ensure they get LONG prison terms or some sort of life long punishment (e.g criminal record) which may send a clear message to others, that this won't be tolerated.
It seems governments are more interested in punishing the law abiding majority, than the law breaking minority.

Seems the pond being flooded has attracted a new visitor. A Grey Heron.
I think it refers to our ability to really understand what we read. Sometimes we need to read between the lines so we understand the message the author intended. Rather than simply reading a piece of text, we gain a deeper understanding.

Maryam Mirzakhani was the first woman & Iranian to earn the Fields Medal in mathematics for her brilliant work in hyperbolic geometry.
Her achievements influenced quantum field theory, engineering & material science & may have applications related to how the universe began.
Mirzakhani was an immigrant & became a Stanford professor. She passed away at just 40 in 2017. In her words:
“The beauty of mathematics only shows itself to more patient followers.”

It would be nice for once to have politicians wanting to serve the peoples interest(s) not just their own.
Neither will #Physics
