I have found that I am now (today) being questioned as to my human existence, not just (almost) every time I log into the site from a different piece of kit, but even when I am logged in, on one piece of kit and one browser application - that is that having proved my existence once, I am asked (several minutes later, but without closing the application or link) to prove it again. I do open posts in new tabs, but I would assume that shouldn't cause a re-set of my initial 'proof' of existence.


I am not against checking to see whether I am a 'bot - entirely reasonable although there don't seem to have been so many spam posts recently - but several times in a session does seem a tad excessive.


My computer remembers I am logged in (even between sessions)- but not, apparently, that I'm human. I do have high-ish levels of security, including avoiding unnecessary cookies, but other sites who do have anti-bot checks don't seem to do this to me. I am using Chrome as a browser.

Even I'm getting asked the question, I'm not sure why Cloudflare's suddenly started asking but fortunately it's a simple tick box and not an annoying "enter the text from the unreadable picture on the left". It might be that it's seen some unusual activity and it's stepping up security for a while.

Actually, on a number of occasions I have had to match photographs (so far food, coffee, construction vehicles and pies(!) - But no awkward lines of unreadable text.


Amended to say - and a second ago (16:01) cars


Amended again to say that the system clock seems to be out about 5 minutes!

    • There’s definitely something in what you say about upbringing, environment, and emotional health. It doesn’t excuse the behaviour, but it might help explain it. I do think low intelligence likely played a role here. People who aren’t taught to value life, whether human or natural, often end up reacting with hostility to the things they don’t understand or appreciate. It’s a sad reflection of both neglect and ignorance. Your suggestion of rehabilitation through something like woodland conservation or sapling planting is actually a lovely and meaningful idea. Let’s hope something good can come of their sentence, though I won’t be holding my breath. Looking forward to meeting you in person at the Forum drinks tonight, and fingers crossed Jasonlondon makes it too. His terrible neighbours really are quite the story.
    • Direct link to livestream of closing ceremony and joint statement:  Today, the conference comes to a close with a joint statement — a historic declaration of collective action in defence of international law and human dignity. At 10:30 Bogotá, 11:30 New York, 16:30 London, 17:30 Paris, 21:00 New Delhi, join the closing ceremony live from the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ceremony will feature Gustavo Petro, President of Colombia; Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories; Zane Dangor, Director General of South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation; Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla, Executive Secretary of The Hague Group; and Fillemon Wise Immanuel, Minister of Justice and Labour Relations of Namibia. The centrepiece of the ceremony will be the reading of the Joint Statement — the result of deliberation among participating governments. This statement will echo far beyond Bogotá. It marks a turning point in the global campaign to hold Israel accountable, protect the Palestinian people, and restore the rule of international law. Join us to witness this historic moment. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat
    • We had the roof on our Victorian terrace replaced in 2023 and were charged just under £12,000, which included new slates, battens, breathable membrane, leadwork, and scaffolding. The cost was mainly due to the complexity of working on an older property and ensuring everything met current building standards.
