Over last 4 months, the DD name for my council tax has gone from "Somerset Council" to "R&B Somerset Council" and now to "Revenue & Benefits" Why the constant change and of what benefit is it to Council tax payers to have something appear on their bank statement that is totally meaningless?

Hi everyone!
Throughout October, I’ve been taking part in a challenge to run at least 50km for Cancer Research UK. Good news is I’ve already hit the 50km target, but I’m going to keep going and see how much further I can get before the month ends!
The slightly less good news is that my fundraising hasn’t gone quite as well as the running 😂 I set myself a £300 target, which might have been a little ambitious on my part!
So I thought I’d give it one more push and ask if anyone has a few quid to spare for a good cause. Every donation, no matter how small, helps fund vital cancer research and would be massively appreciated.
If you can spare a couple of pounds, the link is below. And if not, a share would help too!
Thanks everyone ❤️

Could your area benefit from a Wobbly Social? 🧡

We’ve built a lovely community here in Bristol and now we want to make sure people outside Bristol have the same opportunity to find their people.

That’s where you come in!

We’re looking for volunteer hosts in Bath, Somerset & South Gloucestershire who’d like to help us bring Wobbly Socials to their local community.

You don’t need to be an events organiser or have any previous experience. We’ll give you full training, help you find a venue, promote your social and support you throughout.

All we ask is around 2 hours a month to host something you enjoy. It could be a coffee, a craft session, a games night or something completely different. We’re always open to ideas!

You bring the enthusiasm. We’ll help with the rest.

And because we believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to connection, our socials are designed to be affordable with most events costing less than a fiver to attend and an additional 10% of spaces are reserved free of charge for people experiencing circumstances such as homelessness, domestic abuse, financial hardship, or displacement.

Our goal is simple: to make sure no one has to feel wobbly about socialising, wherever they are.

If you think you could help create a friendly place for people to meet, connect and make friends, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply to become a volunteer host today!

I've posted here before about Ronald Lloyd Spencer aka Buddha (sic), aka Jesus (sick), the US Buddhist leader behind "The Soul Therapy Centre" at 29 High St, Glastonbury.

I feel on reflection that maybe my campaign has been too divisive and mean to Mr Spencer. I appeal in this video for unity and support for a plan to burn an effigy of Mr Spencer in rainbow colours, most respectfully, on Bonfire night in the Glastonbury area. Does anyone know of someone holding a bonfire who might be interested?

I'm copying the full text of the video description below. Thanks, Michael Chambers

"I am proposing a ceasefire in hostilities on the evening of 5 November against Ronald Lloyd Spencer, the incarnation of Jesus and the living Buddha of Glastonbury.

I propose respectfully and reverently burning an effigy of Mr Spencer, dressed in rainbow colours on a bonfire. At the end, I list the help I need.

This can be an acknowledgement of the level of respect and forbearance Mr Spencer/Jesus/Buddha has shown the LGBTQ community in the last few years, during which he has uttered no related public pronouncement.

There is another matter. I need to turn the page. I accept humbly that the consistency and severity of my allegations against Mr Spencer/Jesus/Buddha over recent months has arguably reached a level of criminal harassment where I need to consider my own karmic legacy.

Statement here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K...

I have also sown division and ill feeling among the great and good of Glastonbury. I have sought to rope others into the fray without regard to their overriding interests.

It is time to unite together and with Mr Spencer/Jesus/Buddha too, if he can join us live or by video link - at least for one day.

On 5 Nov, I am prepared to give Mr Spencer/Jesus/Buddha a fair shout and consider in a real way that he may well be Jesus and/or the Buddha, but operating at a vibrational level that is difficult for me to glimpse. Only an earnest effort along those lines can give me the assurance I need on that issue.

I call upon faith leaders in Glastonbury to do likewise. I call upon them to use the prayers and rituals of their spiritual backgrounds to offer respect and reverence to Mr Spencer/Jesus/Buddha and then quietly reflect and give thanks.

We can bring incense, Latin prayers, improvised evangelical prayers, pujas - whatever, in honour of Mr Spencer/Jesus/Buddha.

For those interested, I seek the following help:

1 Contacts with bonfire organisers in the Glastonbury area

2 Someone to make a "rainbow" effigy of Mr Spencer/Jesus/Buddha

3 Circulate this email to other Glastonbury social media groups

4 Media contacts

5 Someone to make a picture for a T-shirt print of Ron Spencer on fire on a bonfire, in rainbow colours, with the words:

"Ron Spencer: My Saviour
Ron Spencer: My Rinpoche
Ron Spencer: My LGBTQ hero"

It was great to see such a great turnout. We hope you enjoy our mini recap of a wonderful day
