A quick google informs me that after this surge, Australia provides about 4% of our beef imports, and our beef imports are about 25% of our consumption. So this headline is basically saying “anger as 0.6% becomes 1% of total” and I’m not sure that’s particularly justifiable

This has interesting comments about the actual physics and what the police probably tested and then misunderstood
It has the “capability of reaching 103.8MPH” said police.

“This attack on the trail hunting is an attack on the countryside!”
“But polls show over 70% of people in rural areas oppose trail hunting”
“That’ll be all the incomers. They’re not really country people”
I think I’ve heard this argument elsewhere…

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Very Starmer to scrap Right to Roam and replace it with riverside signage and telling people to go for walks.
Hmm,

Didn't check the forecast, ignored thr changing weather and got caught out. Which then put a resuce team at risk. I hope they made a large donation to the MR team.

Maybe the King might like to donate too? Or maybe the Government could actually implement a fair & managed migration system?
