Rotting Crops Brexit. Trump - Putin. NHM. Alexandra Burke and Gorka.

Toadfish at the NHM

Cornwall asked the government for help as a result of Brexit as a shortage of EU workers means that crops are rotting in some fields already. There is a real need to ensure that priorities for allowing immigrant workers should reflect local needs. According to Ian Duncan Smith, the Prime Minister should hold firm and 'not blink' in the face of the EU demands for settling a Brexit bill. Meanwhile, Ireland is adding pressure emphasising the necessity for the whole of Ireland, North and South, to be within the custom's union. The swirl of speculation in the media is that the government is in an impossible and weak place, however, support for Theresa May as a leader increased by a percentage point.

President Trump has had several short conversations with President Putin during the  Asian summit. Putin categorically denied that he had anything to do with influencing the US elections and Donald Trump is minded to believe him. This evoked an immediate response from Mike Pompeo, CIA Director that the CIA stands by US intelligence assessments that Russia meddled in the 2016 election.

Another early Saturday for me as I took the train to London, for a Quekett committee meeting and a Workshop. Alan Wood and Graham Matthews gave demonstrations of how they used Photoshop or Photoshop elements. The basic principles included cropping, adjusting levels, image contrasting and colour editing, sharpening and saving. I joined in the demonstration after the talks, having Gimp to edit a couple of member's pictures to show how it could be done. I got back home in the Middle of Strictly to see a fantastic Amanda Burke and Gorka Argentinian Tango.
