I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Where are the trees?
We have A LOT of this landscape and less than 4% native woodland. This should be a rich mosaic of habitats, moor, bog, woodland, montane scrub…We force it to remain in this artificial state. We don’t need to give every inch of our uplands over to sheep, grouse and deer stalking.

I don't normally do podcasts, but I am thoroughly enjoying Eleanor and Alasdair Read That with @eleanormorton.bsky.social and @misterabk.bsky.social on my walks. People probably think I am crazy because I am out walking with a big smile, if not laughing out loud.

This, along with water bills , is another thing that baffled me when I movedto England. What do you mean you don't technically own the house you just bought?!
Nothing illustrates the double standards this country has when it comes laziness as well as Leaseholder Reform and the scenic route it is taking. Freeholders fleece leaseholders routinely, treating homeowners like cash machines. This bill should be done already
