Where's the Government's long-overdue Deer Strategy for England?

Deer numbers are out of control, preventing natural regeneration of trees.

The last govt consulted on a Deer Strategy back in 2022.

So I FOI'd where it's got to.

Answer: still 'in course of completion'. @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

This week, vast plumes of smoke have been billowing over Dartmoor as common graziers set the moor alight to remove ‘scrub’.

Why is this still permitted in a time of climate & ecological emergency? Great piece examining the issue by @tonydartmoor.bsky.social:

That’s the same Lehman Brothers that was at the epicentre of the 2008 financial crash - an event that plunged millions of people into hardship

Insurrectionist supporter, Vance, lectures European leaders on democracy.

Who the hell do these people think they are? They supported a violent coup to overthrow a democratic election in their own country, pardoned the guilty and now lecture us?

Unbefuckinglievable. And yet also, tragically, not.
JD Vance, vice president of a regime currently overthrowing its own democracy, lectures Europe on the "retreat" from "some of its most fundamental values".

He cites the Romanian Constitutional Court annulling its recent presidential election.

He doesn't mention this was because Russia interfered.

US VP Vance had a private meeting with Far Right AfD leader Alice Weidel after his speech at the Munich Security Conference. They spoke about German domestic policy and the war in Ukraine.

Just a reminder that the Far Right Legion of Doom is a global endeavour. They’re working together.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Tesla Inc. says it is raising prices in Canada by up to $9,000 starting Feb. 1 on its Model 3 vehicle, the cheapest in its lineup. I wouldn't pay $9.00 for this NAZI shit. It's also interesting how this coincides to Trump's tariffs happening on the same date.
