Plastic pollution is more than an eyesore - it is a biological threat.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

As the US withdraws and Europe is forced to take responsibility for its own security, people will start to reckon with the costs of actually deterring Russia

Increasingly, you'll come across some variant of 'Why die for Danzig?'

So let's remind ourselves of the original

And so it begins again - US Reps. Thom Tiffany and Lauren Boebert have reintroduced their bill to strip gray wolves of federal protections.

The bill, renamed the "Pet and Livestock Protection Act", relies on misinformation and fear in its attempt to delist wolves and prevent judicial review.

The Government plan is to temporarily renationalise Thames Water, for you to pay off its debts, and then to let someone else takeover so they can rob you, build up massive debts and do the same all over again.

NO water should be NATIONALISED.

RT if you agree.

Time for justice as fraud and theft are illegal.
If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Word of the day is a favourite for this time of year. To be ‘crambazzled’, in old Yorkshire dialect, is to be prematurely aged by excess drinking or partying.
