Over 230,000 innocent badgers have been slaughtered, many left to suffer a slow, agonizing death.

This cruelty MUST STOP.

It appears to have fallen to Romania to show the rest of the world what t do when Russia interferes with your elections. If only Cameron had had some balls back in 2016.

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.

We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

This Louise Haigh nonsense is such a non-story. I'm amazed the police had time to chase down a woman who'd been mugged and mistakenly reported a work phone as stolen (no personal gain). I'd be even more amazed if they'd caught the person who really did commit a crime - the mugger
