Bird flu is being painted as a problem wild birds are inflicting on the poultry industry, but it's precisely the reverse.
Where do they think it developed in the first place, if not in the disease incubators that are mass battery farms?

Fascinating that Nick Robinson names Robbie Gibb as the instigator of the coup at the BBC
He was promoted to ensure that Brexit went ahead
He is the sort of shadowy character who is essential to the unpicking of democracy
This should be the end of his time on the BBC board

Looking at the way Reform and the far right are trying to leverage rural resentments against solar farms. Given that most farmers are concerned by climate change – does this actually make Reform anti-farmer?

In 2021 there were 1,400 unoccupied dwellings in the Penzance area (2nd homes, hol lets, empty), so 140 new dwellings are unjustified. As for affordables???? The green areas are greenwash. Its already green!

When Freddie Mercury died of AIDS in 1991 Haines described him as ‘sheer poison, a man bent - the apt word - on abnormal sexual pleasure, corrupt, corrupting and a drug taker.'
Haines was part of a cruel, homophobic establishment.

At first glance, a quintessentially beautiful Irish landscape.
But in reality, it's a deadzone. The graveyard of a once species-rich Atlantic rainforest wonderland, smothered under sheep and, in the distance, sitka.
We are, however, waking to just how much has been stolen from us.
