It's a shame to abandon our friends & community there, but it is abandoning us

Should we build a new community there on Mastodon, or move here to BlueSky?

Transitioning to a plant-based diet is one of the most impactful personal choices for planetary health. Beyond ethics, the logical conclusion from environmental science is clear: less land, water, and emissions. It's truly a win-win. #GoVegan

A traditional Boxing Day hunt in Devon has been declared “not welcome” by the local council after Chris Packham labelled it “ethically & morally bankrupt”.

Tiverton town council overwhelmingly voted to back a motion declaring: “The hunt meet is not welcome in […]

[Original post on social.coop]
A picture of a banner is captioned: "Tiverton Town Council overwhelmingly voted to declare Boxing Day trail-hunting meet ‘not welcome’ Credit: Mark Passmore / Alamy Stock Photo" More text from article: The Tiverton Foxhounds, who have been hunting in mid-Devon for 200 years, have traditionally met on Dec 26 outside the Half Moon pub in the town square. Hunting a fox with a pack of hounds has been illegal in England and Wales since 2005. However, packs of foxhounds have been allowed to continue trail-hunting, where dogs follow an artificial scent rather than a fox. Animal rights campaigners claim the practice is simply used as cover to continue hunting illegally. The Tiverton vote is the first time that local councillors have rejected the practice and comes after Mr Packham described those who participate in the Boxing Day tradition as “ethically and morally bankrupt sociopathic savages”. Steve Bush, a Labour district councillor, said that Mr Packham had been in touch with him to pledge his support for the motion and Mr Bush read out a statement from the presenter at the meeting, according to local press reports. A photo of Chris Packham has caption: Chris Packham has asked local councillors to ‘put an end to this horrific spectacle’ Credit: Jordan Pettitt / PA Wire More text from article: ‘Redundant, illegal and vile’ In it, Mr Packham said voting against the motion would “besmirch the reputation of Tiverton” and added: “Fox hunting is a redundant, illegal and vile anathema which has no place in a world in the grip of the catastrophic loss of wildlife.” He asked councillors to “put an end to this horrific spectacle, which seeks to normalise and legitimise cruelty and suffering”. The motion was passed with 10 votes in favour, two against and eight abstentions. While the town council does not have the legal authority to ban the hunt, which is organised independently, the vote is a blow to supporters. The Tiverton Boxing Day hunt has become increasingly controversial. Last year a petition was signed by more than 4,000 people demanding it be banned and a council motion doing that was rejected by only one vote. Polly Portwin, the director of the campaign for hunting at the Countryside Alliance, said: “The annual Tiverton Boxing Day meet is a much loved festive event that is enjoyed by many and provides invaluable support to local rural businesses.

Text from The Canary https://www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2025/11/03/spycops-class-war/ "The British state unjustifiably targeted hundreds of left-wing groups for decades with a disgusting political-policing project. And the ongoing inquiry into the spying operation known as Spycops reveals one big establishment game, involving not just the police but also the courts, MI5, corporations, and the press. Tom Fowler from spycops.info goes to every hearing of the inquiry. And he told the Canary how the state’s underhand tactics overwhelmingly served the interests of the economic and political establishment." A screenshot shows rapper and political commentator Lowkey . In the post he states that... "the groups infiltrated by SpyCops from 1968 onwards include Eat Out Vegan Wales, Anti-Fur campaigns, Housmans Bookshop, The Rebel Clown Army, Veggies Catering Nottingham and Uist Hedgehog Rescue. The invisible government is nothing if not paranoid."

We've already heard from 'Sara' who he also deceived, as well as the activist 'Wendy'. We'll be hearing from Lisa Crossland who's family member Thomson stole the identity of, as well as 'L3' another activist he targeted. Thomson will be giving evidence between 5th and 11th November."
