Rhenquist, Feinstein, Potter Stewart, Briggs, Steinem, Brownmiller, Lourde. Around here https://dn711006.ca.archive.org/0/items/Birdsfrogsandmirrors/Robert%20Anton%20Wilson%20-%2002%20Schrodingers%20Cat%20Trilogy.pdf#:~:text=%22I%20really%20need%20a%20good,stick%20your%20great%20big%20pulsating

So farewell then, Gloria Steinem Weirdly Robert Anton Wilson probably crossed paths with Steinem at Playboy Magazine. In later life he couldn't get on with her brand of radical feminism for being too doctrinaire and proscriptive. Despite his wife being a firm feminist. He famously wrote some soft porn (I think in the Schrodingers Cat Trilogy) with parts of the body and sexual practices replaced by names of prominent sex critics of the 70s. eg "Deep Mongolian Steinem Job".

Reform UK is a Long Con from a bunch of fascist, racist, treasonous grifters. Don't fall for it. The con is unravelling. Will Robert Redford, Paul Newman or Robert Vaughan, Marc Warren get away with the money? Or in a surprising twist, is it Robert Shaw that makes out like bandits.

Next stop. Local papers? Any suggestion that the local G&T (Gipsy and Traveller) community were or are involved would be a vicious and scurrilous lie.

If there's one thing I've learnt from all this, it's to phone 999 as soon as you see something bad happening. Fire service for unattended and dangerous fires. Police for obviously illegal activity, especially dumping waste. The councils and agencies need to know but often they are slow to act and have hands that are tied. Enforcement notice. https://www.broxbourne.gov.uk/downloads/file/4936/enf-26-0012 UK Government reaction to the illegal waste problem https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/aug/19/taxpayers-to-fund-clear-up-of-dumps-in-west-yorkshire-surrey-and-kent https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/sep/02/plan-tackle-uk-waste-crime-illegal-dumps

Everybody with any link to the area knows about the problem but nobody can do anything. Hertford CC (landfill management), Broxbourne BC (Planning and Enforcement, multiple site visits), Cadent (Gas pipeline, multiple site visits), Environment Agency (landfill management and licenses, one site visit), HCC and BBC councillors for the ward or with an interest (one site visit), Broxbourne and Herts & Storts MPs (Lewis Cocking, Josh Dean), Hoddesdon Fire Service and Watch Commander (2 fires).

The fly-tipping continues to get worse. For the last month there's been small amounts of smoke appearing out of holes in the ground suggesting that the buried domestic waste is still smouldering away. Broxbourne Council enforcement are doing the best they can but it's hard. Not helped because the current registered landowner claims to have already sold the land on so it's not their problem. The fly-tip is on private land so councils don't have responsibility to deal with it.

For the last month there's been small amounts of smoke appearing out of holes in the ground suggesting that the buried domestic waste is still smouldering away.In March 26, Broxbourne Council issued a full enforcement notice demanding that the work should be undone and the land restored. The fly tipped waste continued. Then in April 26 we had another unattended fire that needed a fire engine as the drought had started and there was a strong wind blowing towards the woods.

Then it began to get really bad. in Oct 2025, lorries started coming in with industrial quantities of shredded domestic waste. They filled the canyon above the gas line and then covered it over with soil. Broxbourne Council issued an official stop notice in Dec but by that time, they'd actually finished burying the waste and had left.

Then in 2023, the field was sold on and the problems started. Fly-tipped domestic waste and stable waste started to accumulate in one corner. Old cars, quads, storage containers, gas canisters appeared. The fly-tipped waste started blowing into neighbouring SSSI woods and fields. In July 2025, there was a huge fire that needed 3 fire engines and a water tanker one night when all the rubbish, wood chip and stable waste caught fire. You could see the fire from Ware!

There's a field near Cock Lane. In 2018, the long time landowner got planning permission to clear and landscape the field with engineering rubble and topsoil. For 3 years we had clanking diggers and lorries delivering the rubble and soil and then spreading it. There's a Cadent High pressure gas line across the field, so they left a canyon above the line to avoid disturbing it. You may not like all this but it was all above board and done by the book.

Landfill waste in Broxbourne There were 10,238 reports of suspected waste crime in England in 2025. In Broxbourne we get our fair share of fly-tipping, but with all the landfill sites, you might be surprised to find we also have the unlicensed burying of industrial quantities of domestic waste.

Latest fly-tip spotted just off the road in Broxbourne Woods. A pallet load of ~3,500 white eggs. 44 boxes, each containing 6 trays of 66 eggs. It does make you wonder. Food for foxes, hedgehogs and magpies?

For a couple of months now MS Windows 10 has been failing updates. Despite endless yak shaving, I couldn't fix it. Today it decided to redo Windows 10, version 22H2. I took a long time but did complete. Fingers crossed, it's sorted itself out.
