If the grouse shooting industry are to be believed, Susie probably stamped her own chicks to death before turning the gun on herself.

Oh well. By a happy coincidence, less hen harriers means more red grouse for the toffs to shoot.

Hen Harrier ‘Susie’, whose chicks were stamped to death in 2022, has been found dead on a North Pennines grouse moor with gunshot injuries
If ever there was an example demonstrating the high level of persecution faced by Hen Harriers on UK grouse moors, the lack of consequences for the offenders, and the lack of justice for the victim…

Using the Nazi bar analogy, if you still post on Twitter, you're a drinker who continues to frequent a pub where patrons attack black and brown customers and the landlord then buys them a drink.
X is in clear + systemic breach of its legal duties in the UK to remove unlawful content from its platform.

Proof: when X users abuse + harass others with the racial slur "paki", X reporting system defends the racist abuse in more than 90% of cases reported.

A new thread documenting this.

Some have suggested that the BBC should adopt the reply given in Arkell v Pressdram.

Alas, that only really works when you can stand by your journalism. But here the BBC mucked up.

BBC can defend and defeat this claim, if made. But it is in a less strong position than Private Eye was then.
