Our water bill in Devon has just come through today. It's doubled.
Our town had the cryptosporidium outbreak.
We've had sewage in our beaches and the river.
And the CEO of South West water got a £300,000 pay rise as this was all happening, which she told me was a "cost of living increase".

At our demonstration today, I'm holding a placard stating
"I support
Palestine.

must be taken."
My aim is to highlight the absurdity of the government dictating what can and cannot be said by peace-seeking people

Word of the morning is ‘williwaw’ (19th century): a sudden violent squall or a toppling gust of wind.
Goes well with ‘thunderplump’: a sudden downpour that soaks you to the skin in seconds.

Do you remember these same people’s reaction any time a Labour shadow minister supported a junior doctors’ picket?
“When WE do it, it’s patriotic…”
“When WE do it, it’s patriotic…”
Naturally, all those people who screwed farms with Brexit, not replacing EU subsidies, letting climate change wreck the countryside, and doing terrible deals that put farms at a competitive disadvantage, are today on the front of their picket line, all bad blood forgotten. ~AA

The always terrific @vicderbyshire.bsky.social puts Jeremy Clarkson firmly in his place
“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?”
@vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans.

It's my opinion that Victoria Derbyshire should replace Laura Kuenssberg on every single BBC show she is on, and she should do it right now.

Please spare a thought for James Dyson, the Brexit-voting billionaire who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax then moved his business to Singapore. He's the real victim here.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.
If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

The protestors want to call it "the tractor tax" because calling it "the inheritance tax protest" would turn off public opinion.
The tractors coming into London today, in fact, pay no road tax, no congestion charge, and no ULEZ.
Exempt from all.

The other thing (I’ve said it 1000 times) is that X is a business & our attention/content is currency. If I learned that eg a clothing brand I’d always liked was now using slave labour & dumping toxic waste in the sea, I wouldn’t continue to buy their product. We have that choice.
Imagine sitting down for a drink or a meal with people whose company you enjoyed & being told by management that half of the table would be now occupied by people who just wanted to shout ‘C**t’ at you. The exodus has absolutely nothing to do with ‘opinions’. Media reports must reflect this more.
