In this episode of Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski is joined by Lauren Ferguson from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health for a riveting deep dive into the unseen forces shaping our indoor environments. Lauren unpacks her journey from biochemistry to environmental engineering and her groundbreaking work modeling childhood pollution exposure in London. The conversation spans wildfire smoke infiltration, the silent threat of PM2.5, and why ventilation might just be our best defense. Plus, hear why Lauren believes you “can't buy your way out of bad environmental conditions,” and why indoor air quality could be the next frontier in mental health research. With insights into the delicate dance between energy efficiency and human health, this episode challenges how we think about buildings—from private homes to public schools.More About Lauren FergusonLauren Ferguson is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Healthy Buildings Program. Lauren holds a PhD in Environmental Engineering from University College London (UCL), UK, where she built a personal exposure model which estimated childhood exposure to PM2.5 for 1.3 million individuals in Greater London. The tool can be used to assess a number of “soft” (for example, behavioral modifications) and “hard” (for example, building interventions) policy interventions on childhood exposure to air pollution.Lauren's interests lie in using building physics and statistical models to assess population-level exposures to indoor environmental hazards, such as heat and air pollution, and understanding how these exposures lead to health impacts and inequalities. In addition to her doctoral research, she has applied these techniques to study population exposure to household air pollution in Nairobi's informal settlements and predict the extent of indoor overheating the UK housing stock may face under future climate scenarios. The goal of her work with the Healthy Buildings Program is to continue her research into indoor heat, where she will be building a US-based housing stock model.CONTACT:https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauren-ferguson-55b178100/ https://hsph.harvard.edu/profile/lauren-ferguson/ Where To Find Us:https://bbfhpod.advancedglazings.com/www.advancedglazings.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/better-buildings-for-humans-podcastwww.linkedin.com/in/advanced-glazings-ltd-848b4625https://twitter.com/bbfhpodhttps://twitter.com/Solera_Daylighthttps://www.instagram.com/bbfhpod/

Flying is one of the most carbon-intensive activities. In fact, if you fly, it is probably the most polluting thing that you do. Yet, aviation remains one of the toughest sectors to decarbonise, as battery technology and alternative fuels still struggle to match the efficiency of jet fuel.In this episode, James and Daisy – who both love travelling – confront the challenging topic of aviation. What are the environmental impacts of aviation? Should we stop flying? What are the alternatives?SOME RECOMMENDATIONS:Mike Berners-Lee is a researcher and writer on carbon footprinting and has written articles on how cutting aeroplane contrails is an easy climate win. - https://www.ft.com/content/d0292413-5fcf-4ab9-b738-8da289fd4987Carbon Brief (2020) – This article calculates the true climate impact of aviation emissions and describes the impact of CO2 and non-CO2 effects. - https://www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-calculating-the-true-climate-impact-of-aviation-emissions/ OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES:The Seventh Carbon Budget (2025) – Section 7.6 describes the UK's aviation emissions and the Balanced Pathway for the aviation sector. - https://www.theccc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/The-Seventh-Carbon-Budget.pdfThe Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation was signed in 1944 and went into effect in 1947. It established the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and set the framework for global civil aviation.The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) is a carbon offset and carbon reduction scheme to lower CO2 emissions for international flights and curb the aviation impact on climate change. CORSIA uses market-based environmental policy instruments to offset CO2 emissions: aircraft operators have to purchase carbon credits from the carbon market. - https://www.icao.int/environmental-protection/CORSIA/Pages/default.aspxJack Sweeney shares information about the locations of private planes of the rich and powerful on his social media accounts, including Elon Musk and Taylor Swift. - https://x.com/Jxck_Sweeney?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorClimate Perks – The employee benefits scheme which gives staff the opportunity to take extra days off work if they choose low-carbon travel rather than flying when they go on holiday. - https://www.climateperks.com/ IPCC (1999) – There is a range of options to reduce the impact of aviation emissions, including changes in aircraft and engine technology, fuel, operational practices, and regulatory and economic measures. - https://www.ipcc.ch/report/aviation-and-the-global-atmosphere-2/ Our World in Data (2024) – “Aviation accounts for 2.5% of global CO₂ emissions.

As the national Theatre continues to make their productions accessible to everyone on Wednesday 5 February 2025 1,000 primary school children from within Greater London attended a schools performance of ‘Ballet Shoes' in the National Theatre's Olivier Theatre with audio description and a pre show touch tour for the young visually impaired children from the primary schools too. The live description for ‘Ballet Shoes' was delivered by Eleanor Stollery, a young visually impaired Actor, Voice Over Artist and Audio Describer who had previously delivered the live description for the national Theatre's schools performance of ‘The Witches' too.  RNIB Connect Radios Toby Davey went along to the schools performance of ‘Ballet Shoes' with Eleanor's live audio description and firstly explored through touch some of the props from ‘Ballet Shoes' that were on display as part of the pre show touch tour for the young visually impaired children.  As part of the touch tour there was also a ballet lesson for the young visually impaired children so that they could experience some of the ballet moves that feature in ‘Ballet Shoes'.  Shortly after the ballet lesson Toby caught up with a group of visually impaired Primary School children to find out how they had found the touch tour and that ballet lesson.   Toby also chatted with Ellara Wakely, Head of Schools Engagement at the National Theatre to find out more about why the National Theatre wanted to make the schools performance of ‘Ballet Shoes' accessible to young visually impaired children. Toby of course also caught up with Eleanor just after the end of the performance to find out how it had all gone for Eleanor delivering the live audio description for Ballet Shoes' at the national Theatre's Olivier Theatre.

In this episode of Danny Hurst´s Unusual Histories Bridge Series, he reaches the last of the bridges that cross the river Thames, in London – Hampton Court Bridge. You will find out why a bridge had to be built in this specific location and why it had to be torn down and redesigned multiple times. The first, of which despite being so stunning that Canaletto created an engraving of it, only lasted for 25 years. You will also gain a fascinating insight into the history of Hampton Court Palace, including its ghosts, most famous residents and the King James Bible. If you can´t get enough of these podcasts, head to https://www.patreon.com/DannyHurst to access my exclusive, member-only, fun-filled and fact-packed history-related videos. KEY TAKEAWAYS Hampton Court bridge was not built for Henry VIII as many people think. The bridge is the only one that enables you to cross from Greater London into a different county. The structure in place today is the 4th Hampton Court Bridge iteration. Hampton Court Palace has been open to the public since 1838. Unusually, the bridge was built by a ferry master. When the latest version of the bridge was built, two smaller rivers had to be diverted. The current version of the bridge was the first ferro-cement bridge over the Thames. BEST MOMENTS “It opened in 1753 and was built in the fashionable Chinese Willow pattern style, with seven steep curved spans and pagoda style piers in the centre.” “Changing the flow of the Thames and causing navigational issues when trying to get through the arches of the bridge.” “The oldest surviving hedge maze in Britain, Hampton Court is a mixture of Tudor and Baroque styles after a huge redesign.” “The palace (Hampton Court) itself is noted by architecture historians as an example of transitioning styles.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.citybridgefoundation.org.uk https://www.hrp.org.uk/hampton-court-palace https://www.orleanshousegallery.org/collection/the-first-bridge-at-hampton-court HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students.

In the hot summer of 2022, RBG Kew lost more than 400 trees. By July 2024, Kew announced that it believed over 50% of its trees could be at risk by 2090 due to environmental changes due to climate change.This week's guest is Kevin Martin, head of tree collections at Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and he joined the HortWeek Podcast to relate the research Kew has done that led it to such a stark conclusion."What we started to look at first was mortality data, but we soon realized that that's a really unstable data set. can't always know why a tree or a plant has died in the landscape. It's not always due to environmental factors."We then started looking at climate modeling...and using species observation data to start building a better picture of the impact of climate change on the living landscape here at Kew.Perhaps surprisingly, the focus was not on identifying vulnerable species, but "the provenance of the seed".Kew studied its own environment, located as it is in "an urban heat island" on the edge of Greater London with relatively thin and poor soil, "so the effect of climate change is always exaggerated". To understand the plants that suited this environment, they found themselves in the Romanian steppe which proved a good match.His next trip will take him to Georgia to find more species that might thrive at Kew.Rather than building more and more glasshouses to create the right condition for plant collections, with their huge energy bills, botanic gardens must play to their strengths and grow the plants that fit their ecosystem and climate profile."And the native, the English native one is a really interesting question. "You've got Quercus robur, they all have a large distribution range. So we're now looking at their dryest range to understand how those trees have adapted...they will grow right up to the edge of Azerbaijan, right on the dryest edge of their range. So we're selecting seed from those areas to bring them back to Kew to understand how they've adapted."And the change needs to translate to all green spaces and gardens, large and public as well as domestic and small."A lot of the plants that we all go to the garden centre to put in our own private gardens, those trees have been selected for us realistically by the Victorians. A lot of those plants are available in commercial nurseries, they're all from the original plant collectors from the Victorian era especially, and they're the same cloned material that's just passed round."So it's really not just changing the planting palette within Botanic Gardens...This is a change of planting palette... and that does need support and investment in further research from government in order to support the commercial nurseries as well."I do think it's going to be the biggest shift we've seen since the start of the organisation back in the 1840s".

The Labour Party conference is underway in Liverpool. Last week we heard from the Liberal Democrats and next week we'll report on the Conservative Party conference. Agriculture is a devolved issue, so the budget and how it's spent is up to governments in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Steve Reed spoke at the Labour conference. He told us a land use framework will be published before Christmas, but details of funding for farmers will have to waiting until the chancellor's autumn budget.All week we're hearing how plans for new infrastructure are affecting farmers and their land. A row over whether farm land in North Yorkshire should be turned into a solar farm is going before a public inquiry. The tenant farmers at Eden Farm, Old Malton say a solar farm would make their business unviable. The developer says it's listened to feedback, and reduced the solar farm's size by a third.The number of cases of bluetongue disease in cattle and sheep has risen to 97. As a result the restriction zone has been redrawn and now covers all Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, all Greater London, Surrey and West Sussex. Previous restrictions in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and East Yorkshire remain in place.Apple growers tell us how the weather this year's affected them. One cider producer in Somerset says he's lost trees because of waterlogged orchards and the yield is way down. Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

We kick off our Ian Marter retrospective with a look at his time at Oxford University. Thanks to back issues of St. Edmund Hall Magazine, we uncover new information that places Marter at Oxford three years earlier than is widely and incorrectly reported in other published sources. From our research, we found that Marter was at St. Edmund Hall, aka Teddy Hall, from 1963-1966 and was heavily involved with drama in the college's John Oldham Society and the Oxford's drama cuppers.Before Oxford, Marter went to school at the Beckenham and Penge Grammar School in Greater London and went to Oxford on a scholarship to study English language and literature. Among other highlights, Marter directed a well received production of John Osbourne's Luther in 1964 during the Trinity Term of his freshman year at the Oxford Playhouse. He also acted in productions of Fire in Heaven, The Sport of My Mad Mother, and Anton Checkov's The Cherry Orchard. In his final year at St. Edmund Hall, Marter co-starred in Samuel Beckett's play, Waiting for Gadot and was in Richard Burton's production of Doctor Faustus, by Christopher Marlowe which was also released as a film in 1967, giving Marter his first screen credit. Marter was awarded a Class III degree from St. Edmund Hall, which may help explain why he never corrected the record about his time at Oxford.After leaving Oxford in 1966, he landed an assistant stage manager job at the Bristol Old Vic and by the following year, he was acting once again. We briefly talk about his small role in the Vincent Price horror film, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, and his reoccurring role in ITV's Crown Court where he played a police constable and then barrister, Quentin Ingrams, QC. Finally, we discuss being cast as Lt. John Andrews in "Carnival of Monsters" and how Doctor Who may have been different if he landed the role of Capt. Mike Yates a few years earlier. The opening and closing music is "Sinfonietta: IV. Allegrteto," composed by Leoš Janáček and performed by the Pro Arte Orchestra, which was the opening theme for ITV's Crown Court. We recorded this episode on 12-13 August 2024.

Researcher Lauren Herlitz and theatre maker James Baldwin talked to 14 young people in care or care leavers about their experiences of seeing a doctor. The frank conversation covers being able to trust a doctor, opening-up about mental health, being affected by trauma, and being judged by healthcare professionals. Lauren and James invited two experts in child health, Dr. Claire Agathou and Prof. Monica Lakhanpaul, to respond to young people's views. They talk about the difficulties young people face in accessing healthcare and why some doctors find it hard to start conversations about mental health or trauma. The conversations with young people, aged 13 - 22 years, were recorded face-to-face between November 2022 and April 2023 in Greater London and South England, and the dialogue with Claire and Monica was recorded online in September 2023.

On Thursday 2 May 2024, voters across England and Wales will head to the polls in a major set of local and mayoral elections. The highest-profile contests will be the election of 10 influential metro mayors – including in Greater London and across the north and the midlands. Together these leaders will be responsible for over £25bn of public spending and will play a vital role in shaping the fortunes of the places they represent. Thousands of councillors in over 100 local areas across England are also up for election, with the successful candidates taking responsibility for key public services at a time of acute financial pressures across local government. Voters will also elect 37 police and crime commissioners and the 25 members of the London Assembly. These elections are far more important than just providing a straw in the wind for the general election to come. To discuss why these elections matter and what to expect, the Institute for Government hosted a public event with expert panellists including: Sarah Calkin, Editor of the Local Government Chronicle Sir John Curtice, Professor of Politics at Strathclyde University and Senior Research Fellow at the National Centre for Social Research Akash Paun, Programme Director at the Institute for Government The event was chaired by Emma Norris, Deputy Director at the Institute for Government.

The British Institute of Interior Design (BIID) is the only professional institute for interior designers in the UK. Our growing membership represents both the commercial and residential sectors, from heritage to cutting edge. In addition to rigorous entry requirements which assess training, experience and professionalism, they require our members to continue their professional development throughout their career to ensure their continued expertise in design process, practice and regulatory matters. For those wishing to find an interior designer or to confirm the credibility of a potential interior designer they offer a directory of our Registered Interior Designers.Each year BIID celebrates the very best of British interior design through its awards program. The BIID Interior Design Awards showcase the best interior design projects completed across the UK.Winners are awarded across 7 regional categories ranging from the largest commercial project to the smallest residential dwelling. In addition, there are two landmark prices – the Interior of the Year Prize, which is awarded to the best interior design project in the UK and the Anna Whitehead Prize, which is awarded to the best achievement in sustainable interior design. 9 awards will be given out in total, along with acknowledgements of Highly Commended projects.In this podcast, we are joined by two previous award winners and one of the judges of this year's awards to discuss the value of the awards programme. If you are reading this on an RSS feed, try and visit https://journalofbiophilicdesign.com/podcasts-journal-of-biophilic-design to view the visuals from these brilliant projects.James Gavigan is co-founder of House of Kin (houseofkin.com) who were the Greater London winners for 2023 with their Riverside project. The Riverside is a unique nursery that preserves the character of the original church building, whilst combining clean aesthetics, soft colours, and simple lines with homely and interactive touches. The judges praised its harmonious and child-friendly design, emphasizing sustainability with cork-clad walls, wood waste flooring, and recycled plastic bottle tiles. The space is imaginative, thoughtful, and perfect for children's learning and growth. Susie Pfeiffer founded Pfeiffer design who won the Anna Whitehead Prize in 2022 for their design studio. The studio was designed with sustainability at the forefront; it uses a wide range of the latest sustainable technologies, sourced locally and is an inspiration to others looking to use similar sustainable elements within their own homes and offices.Asif Din is one of the judges for the 2024 awards. He is the Sustainability Director at Perkins & Will. He has worked across the world as an architect and is a keen advocate of Zero Carbon design projects and the use of circularity in design.Susie and James explain the importance to them, as past winners, of the BIID awards. How, the bring kudos and opportunity to their businesses but also how they bring the design community together and elevate design standards, especially when talking about sustainability and fostering creativity so that design doesn't become bland.From a judge's perspective, Asif comments on how it is often clear that biophilic aspects such as sustainability and environmental factors have been considered from the start as clear elements in any project. Such projects stand out and are key to achieving success at the awards.Throughout the discussion it is clear that just adding sustainable materials to a design doesn't make the overall design sustainable. Consideration has to be given to materials being appropriate for the design; the design can't simply include “box-ticking” elements.Durability is mentioned as a major factor in materials choice for many sustainable designs.The participants are all clear that a sustainable design doesn't involve a compromise on aesthetics. Indeed, taking a biophilic approach to design can enhance the look and feel of a space and contribute to a deeper, more meaningful aesthetic that resonates with the principles of balance with nature.Overall, the conversation brings to the fore the joy and inspiration that great design that fully embraces biophilia brings to those who use the spaces created. Oh, and you might also win kudos and recognition in the form of a BIID award! https://biid.org.uk/biid-interior-design-awardshttps://biid.org.uk/winners-23https://biid.org.uk/judgesChapel Barn: https://www.pfeifferdesign.co.uk/our-approach/sustainability/Riverside: https://biid.org.uk/design-practice-house-kin

The government's published an independent review into the management of protected sites on Dartmoor. Earlier this year, there was an almost complete breakdown in the relationship between farmers and commoners on Dartmoor and Natural England, the body that advises the government on the natural environment. Dartmoor National Park, around two thirds the size of Greater London, is classified as a European Special Area of Conservation and 62 percent of the area falls within Sites of Special Scientific Interest, but much land on those sites is in poor condition. We speak to a Dartmoor farmer and the Natural England's director for the south west.We're all starting to think about our Christmas dinner vegetables, but there are warnings that prices could be higher in the shops this year. Storms and heavy rain have contributed to reported record low-yields of cauliflowers and broccolli in some areas. Meanwhile potatoes could be in shorter supply come the Spring. We report from a Cornish potato farm.The government has announced applications are now open for a new£4 million pound Smaller Abattoir Fund. The fund is to enable abattoirs in England to improve productivity, enhance animal health and welfare, and will allow farmers to add value to their meat and encourage innovation. Abattoirs will be able to apply for funding of up to £60,000.We've talking about rare native breeds all this week. Glyn Canol Old Farm near Welshpool in Powys is something of a rare farm because all its animals are rare breeds - from the goats and sheep to the chickens and cows. We find out why the farmers there have chosen rare breeds over commercial stock and whether rare breeds can be commercially viable.Presenter = Caz Graham Producer = Anna Hill

Mike, from just west of Greater London, steps up to the microphone to talk about traffic charging, Mayor Sadiq Khan's C40 Cities chairmanship and the impact of Khan's globalist policies on the local community. Read the write-up at: https://www.ukcolumn.org/video/mike-from-slough-talks-ulez

Today's Mishal Husain discusses the arguments for and against the implementation of low emission zones for vehicles. London's Ultra Low Emission Zone, Ulez, has now expanded to cover all of Greater London, with owners of the most polluting cars now facing a £12.50 daily charge to drive in the capital. Whilst these changes have been carried out in at least seven areas in England, the expansion today of London makes it the biggest, affecting nearly 9m people. Mishal first speaks to Irene Bacon, a care worker, who tells us the impact these changes will have on her. She then speaks to Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, who explains why they have decided to expand Ulez to cover all of London. He labels it as a ‘difficult' but ‘vital' decision and summarises the implications it will have. He also responds to Irene's fears by outlining the different schemes available to help solve financial issues. Aaron Chown/PA Wire

Will Bain looks into consumer rights after the travel chaos of the Bank Holiday. As the expanded ULEZ gets underway in Greater London we speak to one worried business owner. And as shares in the Chinese property developer Evergrande fall by nearly 90%, we look at the background to the company's struggles and at what's happening in China's property sector.

A YouGov poll of 1,000 Londoners suggests that the Mayor of London's popularity is languishing in the suburbs, with a negative rating of -24. The results come ahead of the controversial expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone across Greater London next week. The question is though, with the Mayoral elections coming up in 2024, does Sadiq Khan have enough time to win back the suburbs? The Evening Standard's Deputy Political Editor, Jitendra Joshi, shares his analysis from Westminster. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Mayor of London is facing one of his biggest tests yet with a legal showdown on 4th July over the expansion of the Ultra Low Emissions Zone.Five Tory councils claim the Mayor acted unlawfully in the way he proposed to widen the zone to the Greater London boundary on 29th August.Sadiq Khan's controversial flagship policy to tackle the capital's toxic air is emerging as a key issue in the 2024 mayoral election - and the row could also influence voters in the Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election. The Evening Standard's City Hall Editor & Transport Editor, Ross Lydall, explains how much is on the line with this legal challenge, the potential repercussions of the case, and whether the Ulez expansion could be Sadiq Khan's downfall.

The Corporation Of The City Of London•     City of London, municipal corporation and borough, London, England. Sometimes called “the Square Mile,” it is one of the "33" boroughs that make up the large metropolis of Greater London.   The borough lies on the north bank of the River Thames between the Temple Bar memorial pillar (commemorating the old Temple Bar gate) and the base of Tower Hill. The City Corporation is Britain's oldest local government; it has the status of a county, with powers that exceed those of London's "32" other boroughs, notably the control of its own police force. “The City,” as it is known, is only a component, relatively small in area, of the larger urban area known as London. Its area corresponds closely to that of the ancient city from which modern London has grown. The City belongs geographically to the historic county of Middlesex, but its special status and privileges gave it autonomy from that county for most of its history.   Britannica     The Latin motto of the City is Domine dirige nos, which translates as "Master, direct (guide) us". It appears to have been adopted in the 17th century, as the earliest record of it is in 1633. A banner of the arms (the design on the shield) is flown as a flag of the City.     14 dragon statues guarding the city of London. Many other depictions of Dragons adorn various buildings. Some inside, & some on the outer structure. Two at the main gates of the city. The crest of the city has the two dragons with the white shield and a Red Cross, & sword. The cross, & sword resemble upside down crosses. The official explanation says the crest is an homage to St. George was depicted in a fictional story saving a princess from a dragon. The story was loosely based on   St. George being a Templar Knight, & is often depicted in armor riding a stallion.   The Knight's Templar flags were also white with red crosses.   https://londonist.com/london/secret/dragon     Must Watch!   Occult Symbolism On Buildings In The Corporation Of The City Of London   https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2yv8x4     Same Video On YT   https://youtu.be/M9eHVWMF3XU     Another Great Video Showing More Symbolism In The City   https://youtu.be/8lMpTrgqt0M     More Symbolism   https://andrewgough.co.uk/london/       Gog, & Magog Symbolism In London   https://londonist.com/2016/01/gog-and-magog-who-are-they-and-what-do-they-have-to-do-with-london     We learned earlier that the Corporation City Of London is a, or the, most important city in the world for finance. Not to mention, a tax haven, & overseer of other British-controlled tax havens like the Cayman Islands, Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, the BVI, Gibraltar, & Bermuda.     Elite City of London Taxhavens   American banks moved their assets to "the City" to escape regulations.   Secrecy Jurisdictions, Cayman Islands...   https://youtu.be/-YgFDZNXPyg     The Templar Temple happens to be located in the Corporation City Of Government. The very place they ran their banking empire. Also, remember that one other other main hubs for The Templars was in Switzerland. Still famous for its banks. Not to mention, suspiciously the home of the Bank For International Settlements. Explain BIS. Like the Templars, the Corporation of The City Of London is exempt from laws that others have to go by. The connections are too much to ignore.     List of banks in London   http://www.ukcities.co.uk/City_of_London/Financial_Services/Banks_and_Building_Societies/     City of London ‘set for exemption from new global tax rules'   https://www.cityam.com/city-of-london-set-for-exemption-from-new-global-tax-rules/     Another connection•     It's well known, & even admitted in some circles that Freemasonry is the offspring of The Templars. Freemasonry is predominant in the square mile. The honorable Lord Mayor of the city is closely aligned with Freemasonry, & many Lord Mayors have been Masons. As many as 5000 Freemasons March in the yearly parade celebrating the election of the new Lord Mayor. The alleged oldest Masonic Lodge is located in the city. Author Stephen Knight wrote two detailed books about the influence of Freemasonry in London. He focused especially on the various police forces, & how Masonry had created a true good ole boy network which allowed numerous criminal acts to go unpunished. Stephen explains a little bit about the structure of government in the city.     Knights Templars   Hidden History: World Controllers, Knights Templars, City of London, Unknown American History (1of2)   https://sarahwestall.com/hidden-history-world-controllers-knights-templars-city-of-london-unknown-american-history-1of2/       Stephen Knight Book Excerpts   https://x-cain.angelfire.com/cityoflondon.html     Oldest Grand Lodge In London   https://www.thetravel.com/the-oldest-masonic-grand-lodge/     Freemasons Hall   https://www.countrylife.co.uk/architecture/grand-lodge-the-freemasons-hall-london-a-temple-to-peace-236315     Over 5,000 Freemasons and the Lord Mayor Attend the Services.

To be called to the Bar and practise as a barrister in England and Wales, a person must belong to one of these Inns. It is located in the wider Temple area, near the Royal Courts of Justice, and within the City of London.   https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_Temple     Bar Association   http://theftbydeception.blogspot.com/2010/02/bar-association-history-who-owns-us.html?m=1     "Leading justice scholars in the system of the UK are well aware that ....the Temple Church as the cradle of Common Law"   https://knightstemplarorder.org/heritage/templar-magna-carta/     The Conspiracy About The Bar Association     Quote:   "The government and legal system of the United States, Canada, Austraila, New Zealand and of course Britain, is totally controlled by the Crown. I have also stated that the British Monarch is not the Crown. The Crown is the Inner City of London, which is an independent State in London belonging to the Vatican system. It is a banking cartel which has a massive system around and beneath, which hides its true power.
The City is in fact the Knights Templar Church, also known as the Crown Temple or Crown Templar, and is located between Fleet Street and Victoria Embankment. The Temple grounds are also home to the Crown Offices at Crown Office Row. The Crown Temple controls the Global'Legal'system, including those in the United States, Canada,Australia, and much more; this is because all Bar Associations are franchises of the
International Bar Association at the Inns of Court at Crown Temple based at Chancery Lane in London.
   All Bar Associations are franchises of the Crown and all Bar Attorneys/ Barristers throughout the world pledge a solemn oath to the Temple, even though many may not be aware that this is what they are doing. Bar Association 'licensed' Solicitors / Barristers must keep to their Oath, Pledge and terms of allegiance to the Crown Temple if they are to be "called to the Bar" and work in the legal profession. The ruling Monarch is also subordinate to the Crown Temple, this as been so since the reign of King John in the 13th century when Royal Sovereignty was transferred to the Crown Temple and, through this, to the Roman Church.
King John 1167-1216 is the key to this deception."     "The present Queen of England is not the "Crown," as we have all been led to believe. Rather, it is the Bankers and Attornies (Attorneys) who are the actual Crown or Crown Temple. The Monarch aristocrats of England have not been ruling sovereigns since the reign of King John, circa 1215. All royal sovereignty of the old British Crown since that time has passed to the Crown Temple in Chancery.
The U.S.A. is not the free and sovereign nation that our federal government tells us it is. If this were true, we would not be dictated to by the Crown Temple through its bankers and attornies. The U.S.A. is controlled and manipulated by this private foreign power and our unlawful Federal U.S. Government is their pawnbroker.
The bankers and Bar Attorneys in the U.S.A. are a franchise in oath and allegiance to the Crownat Chancery - the Crown Temple Church and its Chancel located at Chancery Lane - a manipulative body of elite bankers and attorners from the independent City of London who violate the law in America by imposingfraudulent "legal"
- but totally unlawful - contracts on the American people. The banks Rule the Temple Church and the Attorners carry out their Orders by controlling their victim's judiciary."   "The legal system (judiciary) of the U.S.A. is controlled by the CrownTemple from the independent and sovereign City of London. The private Federal Reserve System, which issues fiat U.S. Federal Reserve Notes, is financially owned and controlled by the Crown from Switzerland, the home and legal origin for the charters of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization, and most importantly, the Bank of International Settlements.
Even Hitler respected his Crown bankers by not bombing Switzerland. The Bank of International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland [Vatican bank] controls all the central banks of the G7 nations.
He who controls the gold rules the world."   "The people who comprise the citizenry of a state are recognised only within natural and common law as is already established by God's Law. Only a State Citizen can be a party to an action within a State Court.
A common state citizen cannot be recognised in that court because he doesn't legally exist in Crown Chancery Courts. In order to be recognised in their State Courts, the common man must be converted to that of a corporate or legal entity (a legal fiction).
Now you know why they create such an entity using all capital letters within Birth Certificates issued by the State. They convert the common lawful man of God into a fictional legal entity subject to Administration by State Rules, Orders and Codes (there is no "law" within any Rule or Code). Of course, Rules, Codes, etc. do not apply to the lawful common man of the Lord of lords, so the man with inherent Godly law and rights must be converted into a legal "Person" of fictional "status" (another legal term) in order for their legal - but completely unlawful - State Judiciary (Chancery Courts) to have authority over him."   The CrownTemple

Ukraine has reportedly recaptured nearly 10,000 square kilometres of territory that had been occupied by Russia. We ask where the numbers come from, what they mean and why everyone is comparing them to the size of Greater London. We ask how much money Norway is making out of the current energy crisis. Also why is the pound so weak against the dollar, some odd claims about women and exercise and does it really take 20,000 uses for an organic cotton bag to become more environmentally friendly than a plastic bag?

SCARED TO DEATH IS EXPLICIT IN EVERY WAY. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHILE LISTENING.The first of Dan's stories this week is the more documented of the two. Dan will be taking everyone to the late 1930s, and to the Greater London area of England, to examine the haunting of Alma Fielding. In 1938, Alma Fielding, a 34-year-old housewife in Thornton Heath, a southern suburb of London, went to the press complaining of a poltergeist having invaded her home. Many, many people witnessed intense paranormal activity centered around Alma. The second story is the tale of a 19th century South Carolina woman who seems to have suffered an incredibly tragic death when she was accidentally buried alive. Does the ghost of Julia Legare still haunt her family's tomb on Edisto Island, South Carolina? Lynze's portion of the show is made up of four small stories: a skin walker, a ghost, a self driving school bus and the woman in the mirror! Enjoy! New Merch: Super cool new Swamp Monster tee in the merch store this week. It features a rather large hairy beast with red eyes, lurking in the dark forest shadows, a very dark and moody depiction.
