So no the RNLI is officially a taxi service? Looks to me like they’ve picked them up from Point A (France) and dropped them off at point B (England). This is a national emergency. This is a disgrace. THE RNLI NEED DEFUNDING - IMMEDIATELY. #StopTheBoats #restorebritain #voterestore

Next up for the Service95 Book Club… “In 2000, Zadie Smith detonated the books world with White Teeth and has been part of our literary DNA ever since. She’s been compared to everyone from Dickens to Rushdie, which is staggering praise for a debut author barely out of university. This glorious and hilarious intergenerational soap opera of multicultural London spans the 20th century, told through the eyes of the Iqbals and the Joneses, two families you will never forget. It starts with middle-aged big-hearted loser Archie Jones attempting – and failing – to gas himself in his car, stung by a failed first marriage from which all he salvaged was the vacuum cleaner. He meets 19-year-old Clara, a recovering Jehovah’s Witness of Jamaican heritage, at an End of the World party in a North London squat, and life begins again. Archie’s friend Samad Iqbal, who looks a bit like Omar Sharif from a certain angle, is still waiting for his wife to be born when the two men meet in the last days of the Second World War. When Samad and Alsana finally meet at their wedding three decades later, she is more than a match - physically and mentally - for her much older husband. The next generation – twins Millat and Magid Iqbal and Irie Jones – ramp up the volume, pushing their parents to the limit as they challenge their ideas of home and identity. It’s a big, loud, boisterous and fiercely clever book. Reading Zadie play with the multitudes of language on London’s streets, and explore identity, community and the competing pulls of nature and nurture, is an unforgettable experience. No wonder this book became the literary landmark for a generation.” - Dua x Make sure you’re subscribed to the newsletter for the full #MonthlyRead experience, and join the conversation on the @service95bookclub podcast – coming soon.

Šiandien 100-metį švenčiantis Valdas Adamkus yra mano vaikystės prezidentas. Ir, kartu su žmona Alma, mano pirmas vakarietiškos elegancijos pavyzdys. Nors 2003 m. interviu žurnalui „Žmonės“ Alma Adamkienė sakė, kad elegancijos neišmoksi, savo pavyzdžiu Adamkai bent kelioms lietuvių kartoms parodė, ką ji iš tiesų reiškia. Anuomet svarbūs buvo ne tik į Lietuvą atnešti JAV politinės kultūros standartai. Už jų slypėjo laikysena – šviesus požiūris į pasaulį, empatija, pagarba ir gebėjimas įkvėpti. Puikiai suprantu, kad šiandien Adamkų įvaizdį, ypač iš pirmosios kadencijos, vertiname 2026-ųjų kategorijomis. Matome tai, ką dabar vadiname tylia prabanga, ką laikome klasikiniu konservatyviu stiliumi ar ką atpažįstame kaip Vašingtonui būdingus estetinius kodus. Vis dėlto dešimtajame dešimtmetyje ta reikšmė buvo gerokai gilesnė. Adamkų elegancija tarsi sakė, kad vakarietiška kultūra Lietuvai nėra svetima ar nepasiekiama – kad ji čia pat, tereikia truputį pasitempti ir nebijoti mokytis. Manau, kad 1998-aisiais išsirinkti tokį prezidentą Lietuvai, tebestovėjusiai kultūrų (jei ne civilizacijų) kryžkelėje, nepaprastai pasisekė. Žinoma, vakarietišką Lietuvos kursą formavo gausybė šviesių žmonių, tačiau Adamkai šiai krypčiai suteikė aiškų bei įtikinamą pavidalą. Ir leido patikėti, kad žvelgdama į elegantišką, tarp laisvojo pasaulio lyderių stovinčią porą matau ir savo ateitį. Nuotraukos: BNS, ELTA, LRT, 15min, iš asmeninio Valdo Adamkaus archyvo
