Royal Navy sources suggested the Russian vessel may have encountered technical difficulties (Image: FB) A British couple caught up in a confrontation with a Russian warship in the English Channel have spoken of their ordeal after reaching France safely, and issued a defiant message. Alan Kelvey, 71, and his wife Jane, 69, were sailing aboard their yacht Bright Future when shots were reportedly fired from the nearby Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich. The couple had left Lymington in Hampshire during the early hours and were around 20 miles south of the Isle of Wight when the incident unfolded on Thursday. After arriving in Cherbourg later that day, the pair were described by fellow sailors as visibly shaken by what had happened. One witness said Jane responded with characteristic humour when told she should have fired back, reportedly replying: “I would have if we’d had something.” The yacht owners later gave their own account of the incident, insisting they had not been steering towards the Russian vessel. Jane reportedly said: “We could see the ship in the …

William tells Southport survivor ‘you’re so brave’ at garden party

Published by Sam Flores

The Prince of Wales told a yoga teacher who survived the Southport attack “you’re so brave”, and she said it was “like meeting an old friend again” after they chatted at a garden party. Leanne Lucas told William about her Let’s Be Blunt campaign when she was invited to a garden party at Buckingham Palace on Friday afternoon. Ms Lucas began her campaign in the wake of the attack in Merseyside in July 2024 that saw Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, Bebe King, six, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, murdered – and eight children and two adults hurt.

I wanted a simpler Brave alternative, and this new browser surprised me

I wanted a simpler Brave alternative, and this new browser surprised me

Published by skeptic

I’ve been using Brave for a while now, and it does exactly what it promises. The privacy defaults are solid, the ad blocking works, and the Chromium foundation means it runs right. However, I found myself curious whether something even leaner existed, a browser that covered the same privacy ground without accumulating quite so many features around it. Brave has grown into a fairly full-featured platform, which is great if you want that, but I wanted to find out what the experience felt like closer to the essentials. That curiosity eventually led me to Helium, an open-source browser built by a two-person team with a clear and almost stubborn philosophy: do less, but do it right. I wasn’t expecting it to hold up for more than a few days of testing. A few weeks later, it’s still my main browser.

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech In Disney’s beloved 1993 family film, “Homeward Bound,” a ragtag group of two dogs and a cat embark on a daring quest through the wildness of the Sierra Nevada mountains to return to their owners. The movie was a major success, tugging at the heartstrings of pet owners everywhere. Now, viral video footage of a group of dogs stranded on the side of a busy roadway in China has drawn plenty of comparisons to the story, showing a reminiscent group of household critters huddling together. It didn’t take long for imaginations to run wild. “Seven stolen dogs broke free from thieves working for a dog meat shop and trekked [ten miles] home together, led by a Corgi,” one X account claimed, tapping into racist stereotypes. “Across highways and fields, moving as a team, these dogs refused to be separated from their humans.” Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck …

Reflections on the ‘Brave New World’ of Farming

Reflections on the ‘Brave New World’ of Farming

Published by Jenni Sidey

Farmers across the West are socioeconomically not in a good place right now. Many are leaving the profession, which used to be a vocation, due to big payoffs by the EU and other such wealthy bloated Net-Zero globalists encouraging them to sell the land. There is also the allure of AI and Hi-Tech machinery, which I’ll come to later. I used to work as an agricultural correspondent and editor of a farming magazine some 20 years ago and things were financially bad back then for farmers throughout the West but things are now a lot worse. The war on farming in the past was less obvious, but it goes back a long time to late-1950s/early ’60s, when new expensive machinery led to bigger intense farming and less farm employees, amongst other labour-led factors. With AI technologies, some farms are already hosting robotic ‘workers’ toiling away on the land, from dusk to dawn. These tend to the livestock’s needs, but there are also plans to have them watch over crops, while other agri-robots hoe weeds and …
