This food video from the FT called “Inside the UK ‘jungle farm’ that grows Thai vegetables” has found someone who appears to have found the formula to do it. Description: Holy basil,...

Re: Donald Trump within a few days of criminal charges
The economic data for the US tells a very different story about the actual performance of the economic policies of Biden to that being peddled by the usual pundits (those still peddling trickle-down economics).
