I’m no fan of this government but most dishonest in decades? Remember Boris Johnson’s lot? Cash for access? Fast lane contracts for the bloke down the pub to sell us PPE? Lying about party gate, etc?
Meanwhile the government in waiting are getting caught taking bribes from Russia.

That said, well managed hunt for wild animals is WAY better than farmed animals. On literally every possible level. Better still, go vegan or at least veggie. Let’s do it, you and me.

If you actually did, you wouldn’t be pretending fish farming is in some way better than well managed fisheries. I get it, most fisheries aren’t managed well. But the recovery graph for this one looks really good.

Fisheries can be well managed to keep stocks high.
And if fish farming is so good, what do you think farmed fish eat?

In fact 2 mins searching online and it’s 100% funded by the salmon farming industry. FFS.
This sort of pseudo-expert platform pushing against environmental checks and balances is infuriating. They purely exist to con the public to fuel corporate greed.

That’s clearly a PR platform for the aquaculture industry. Best ignored.

Fair. And a challenge for the Greens is how to communicate the how.

Nah, centrists (I used to be one) need to make the shift to understanding business as usual isn’t going to cut it any more. E.g. relying on endless GDP growth on a finite planet makes no sense. We need a very different direction.

Sure. But people deliberately leave their cats behind. That’s how we got Basil. People over the road were feeding him in the street after his owners just left without him.
