I love wildlife, woodland & trees, wildflowers & gardens, follow politics & I'm interested in science. I hate injustice to humans & animals alike.
Look at those eyes!

It is almost like you lot have missed the point.
Don't you understand?
The Minister for Homelessness was going to make a much larger profit from evicting her tenants
and
charging her new tenants a much higher rent.

You may recall I collected my 88 yr old neighbour from hospital at 10.00 PM last night. We were assured that a carer would visit today. Yeah right! The only person to visit was my wife and a good thing she did too. The Govt has to get a grip.

A close-up of hedge woundwort to brighten your day. Bees and other pollinators love this wildflower, native to Europe and western Asia.

Rewilding gives 1,000s of wild species – and, equally importantly, all the connections between them – the chance to thrive.

Here's that bit in "Love Actually" where the plucky British PM stands up to the bullying POTUS.

Can we please clone a few Hugh Grants and install them as the Leaders of Australia, the UK and Canada.

This would be most helpful. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. #FuckTheUSA

Very sorry to see I was right on this.

We're in extremely dangerous, unknown territory now, with two nuclear-armed terrorist militaries attacking another sovereign nation unprovoked. Their message to the world?

Might is right.
They're really going to do it.

Q: When the president says Iran is very close to a nuclear weapon, is he relying on US intelligence or intelligence sharing from an ally?
