Once upon a time journalist, here for birds
Dear Brits, if you like your foreign friends and colleagues please respond to this hot mess of a consultation.
I am currently, because I know how to enjoy a Saturday morning, writing some guidance for people on filling this consultation in. As I do several things are highly apparent. Before I go through them though I don't want this to put people off of filling it in. It is important to do so nonetheless. 1/
Government has today published its consultation into "earned settlement", the forward alone contains a hot mess of misrepresentation of the current system by the Home Secretary. I would strongly urge anyone affected by the current system to respond.

Could there be a more confusing way of phrasing this question in the government’s immigration consultation? Why do this unless it’s deliberate?

Ahaha, I've just been gaslit by AI looking for a particular deforestation map and then it apologized when I pointed out it's recommending a paper that doesn't exist. 🤡

Fascinating story about human-tiger conflict in Russia. Tiger programs are backed by the Kremlin (Putin loves big cats) but aren't dealing with lack of prey in forests. Meanwhile indigenous Udege are sent to prison for self-defence. thenewtab.io/zalozhniki-t...

Russia has left the Ramsar convention on wetlands because it’s become ‘infiltrated by anti-Russian narratives’ 🐸
