George Grundy tagged, Peter Mandelson let off
After a visit to the cider barn last weekend George Grundy was caught short and urinated behind a bus shelter. He was reported to the police by persons unknown and his probation officer Reg paid a visit. George will not face a return to jail but may have to wear a tag for a month which will mean no cider or beer.
Interestingly when Lord Mandelson was caught short while waiting for a cab after visiting George Osorne’s London home recently, while the story made the media, the police did nothing
Farage goes to war with Ambridge over banknotes and beavers
Nigel Farage who divides his time between Mar A Lago and the Chagos Islands these days has been fulminating about a new series of Bank Notes (issue some way off) which will replace the current series of historical figures such as Churchill which were introduced in 2016.
A public vote in 2025 saw wildlife pictures on Bank Notes as being the most popular. Farage has never heard of it
A further consultation is due to determine what precise pictures will be used. Farage hasn’t heard of this either
Farage seems obsessed with what he has dreamt up of a £5 bank note featuring a Beaver. On a social media clip he says he is ‘not making it up’ but as often he is.
However after an absence of hundreds of years beavers are gradually being introduced again to waterways.
One notable spot is Ambridge where the Rewilding Project has seen beavers in the Am again.
Is Farage really launching a culture war on the Archers?
