"UK Conservation has a woodland birds problem - it is not just Willow Tits that now look on a path to UK extinction, several other of our woodland bird species now look likely to become some of the next species to disappear from Britain..."

With news of yet another county extinction for Willow Tit (this time in Warwickshire) I'm prompted to offer some personal reflections on the effort to save Britain's "Turtle Dove of the North", and what is says about woodland bird #conservation as a whole...

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%.

That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

🚨Government’s own shocking data shows a staggering 97% of new patients who try to get an NHS dental appointment fail to get one

People are forced to pull out their own teeth with pliers - it’s not Victorian it’s medieval. We cannot allow this to become normalized

Democide in our times

In England 300,000 people a year die prematurely awaiting hospital appointment.

Govts find money for wars, corporate bailouts/subsidies, tax cuts for the rich but neglect healthcare.

Old, poor sacrificed to the gods of neoliberalism. Casualties of class war.

NHS waiting lists: estimated 340,000 died awaiting treatment in 2022

Salmon farming is a dirty business… How do you know the salmon you eat isn’t a diseased zombie salmon?

Has the Govt seen this? Market force failure. @southernwater.bsky.social is a monopoly, so can treat its bill payers as badly as it likes. Not enough investment, just lots of cash for its shareholders, and not performing its essential role of supplying clean safe water.
#PublicOwnership now.

It's time to put an end to Boxing Day hunt parades. Local councils must take a stand against these wildlife crimes and hold hunts accountable.
