Feeling V sorry for Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC6Music. I’ve listen to her shows on 6music for about 12years only to find out today that she has been side lined. Would appear that what Lauren Laverne wants, she gets. First it was Shaun’s morning show and now it’s the mid morning show.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.
Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

Some of my hives in Hitchin. They’re all tucked up and feed for winter, the honey bees will be flying on warm sunny days during the winter, they don’t hibernate unlike other species of bees.
