Government is pressing ahead with the badger cull despite no clear evidence that it’s effective in controlling Bovine TB🦡 We’re calling for a more humane approach to support farmers, using vaccination & control measures for cattle🐄 Read more👇 wcl.org.uk/docs/WCL_Respo…
MP in Train Station Name Change Controversy
@ZackPolanski @ZoeGarbett @TheGreenParty Just a reminder that the Tories changed the rules to make this a 1st-past-the-post election. So voting for Zoe risks ending up with Suzie, who would roll back progress on clean air and climate emissions. If you’re concerned about the environment and equality, vote for Sadiq.

Guest blog - Badger killing, is there a better way? by @alicksimmons markavery.info/2024/04/30/gue… #badger @foodgov @DefraGovUK @NFUtweets @BadgerTrust @WildJustice_org

Is it just me, or is there a pattern emerging here? Privatise struggling but much used utilities and services, and then through hubris and arrogance contrive to criminalise either your employees and/or customers. This is NOT public service. theguardian.com/business/2024/…

@PaddyGalbraith Depends what you want from (and for) the dog I suppose. Staying focused against all natural instincts is impressive, and great for the owner. @alicksimmons book Treated Like Animals is good on this. Pets as just another form of animal exploitation. Some more than others.
Two years ago, I planted 5 asparagus crowns. We’ve just eaten the first output - two spears each. Nice.

@PintsO_Guinness What they don't mention is that Jack Lynch was also the country's Taoiseach at the time, but that may have been a different fella.
Boris Johnson said in 2004 that he would eat his ID at a polling station in protest if the law ever required it. In 2022, he passed a law requiring ID to vote and dismissed criticism it would stop people voting. In 2024, he forgot his ID when trying to vote and was turned away.
Not really funny but…
@QEMrsWright To be fair I think a lot of nonsense about what Ms "is for" is propounded by women justifying their own use of other titles by denigrating other choices. And some of them have gained real traction. Ultimately all three are short for the same word...
@QEMrsWright Who on earth told you that?! I've been Ms since I was 18. I've continued to be Ms in the 13 years I've been married. I plan to stay married and stay Ms for many decades ahead. Ms is the title for women who don't think their marital status needs to be part of their name.
We have today matched a reward of £5,000 from @Natures_Voice after receiving deeply concerning news that a peregrine was shot in the Dove Stone area of the National Park last month. We urge anyone with information to contact the police. More below... 👉 bit.ly/3y9RoAt
@Oceanprime_Dave We don't have that in Suffolk.
@SteveJTurner76 I’m undecided as the temperature isn’t great, however real feel temp early morning looks low which is good for keeping them in place. Cloud cover is very good, though a little breezy. Hmmm you know I’ll prob do it anyway. Just for moral support 🤪
@TrooperSnooks @FidelCuntstruck @mrs__flo I’m not convinced the term “rewilding” is really understood here. A rewilding team creating tree guards for planted saplings sounds a bit like heavy management to me
I was lucky enough to get hold of a copy of @ChrisGPackham's Birdwatching Guide recently. I was really enjoying it, when a passing sea eagle dropped the cow it was carrying and nicked my copy. Crucially, the book articulates the value of appreciating nature on its own terms. So…
POV: you forgot your headphones
@TruthSeeker84x3 That would be because the UK is a civilised country where people are required to try not to kill others. It is how UK law works.
@TruthSeeker84x3 Who is at 'fault' in UK statute law is determined by analysis of the details. The rules are pretty ridiculous, but I think it's fairly obvious that any time someone kills someone with a gun, the situation will be investigated and not just passed off with assumptions.
Had to grit my teeth at needing to bring photo ID to vote, as seems designed to disadvantage some (likely less Tory leaning) groups, but on the other hand I did bring the dog so that was a plus #dogsatpollingstations
