An environmentally concerned being that doesn't want to see humans having to preserve nature in space.
Humanity wake up and see unity is the only solution. Though how to achieve that could have desperately different outcomes.

Doing more with what exists and replacing when worn, broken or truly redundant takes skill and imagination. And is the only way to live within the natural capital envelope we exist in on earth.

My reading on this is that it's evidence Farage betrayed Britain in Russian interest working to achieve Brexit.
Who in the world most wanted Brexit... Putin.
Who was paying those around Farage (and wouldn't be surprised if Farage profited too) - Putin.

The censorship of the 2025 Reith lectures because they include a person stating their opinion about how corrupt Trump is in terms of abusing his office strikes me as being far from a legal paranoia.

Even the Guardian seems to be over reporting Reform compared to Greens. At least three front of website stories today and nothing Green.
Not even serious prior coverage of the many polls on voting intent for how the young vote is heavily Green.

Perhaps Tim Davie gave other examples than BLM and Kamala Harris but it's interesting that both the things he's quoted using as examples are things you suspect he's against. While being OK with instances of favouring the right that so frequently happen on the BBC under him.

Public disillusionment with the political class isn’t a passing phase.
It's the reality of a system where the dividing line between the state - and wealth, oligarchs and corporate power - has been systematically erased.

When governments try to ban encryption their argument is "you have nothing to worry about if you've nothing to hide".
Any public officials dodging reporting and journalism have to be assumed to be treacherous.
