Extraordinary weather in #Aberdeenshire

Yesterday the Scottish Government announced a further delay to the implementation of muirburn licencing.

That very same day, a muirburn in Aberdeenshire got out of control and started a wildfire.

We can’t afford any more delay. 👇

The aftermath, still smouldering in places. #muirburn #cnpa #dinnetnnr #tarland

Sarah Smith #r4today says Trump gave no details about (didn’t know or care) what happens next with the Gaza/Israel peace deal but she can confirm that Trump will be “furious” on Friday if he isn’t awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Wow.
Priorities.
Inspirational.

If blowing people out of the water without due process and renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War gets someone the Nobel Peace Prize that would be another institution that would have trashed its reputation. #r4today

Out of control Muirburn near Dinnet NNR today. Now in the forest.

All we ever hear about or read about is migration, racism, antisemitism and Islamophobia. Hardly anything else gets a look in.

Well I’m sick to bloody death of it. It’s like some self fulfilling Farage wet dream.

Britain and its people are about so much more than this.

It certainly seems very odd to me. Perhaps that bit of my brain is missing

Indeed. I’m looking forward to Evan asking #Reform about their net zero policy. At our local agricultural show they had a huge banner saying “no to net zero” and were loudly proclaiming that wind turbines “kill ALL wildlife”

Aberdeenshire at dusk and dawn. (Deer o’clock). They do indeed leap in front of cars, sadly. If a deer leaps into the road in front of you, it’s quite likely to be followed by a second one.

Why is Nick Robinson haranguing Starmer about whether Nigel Farage is a racist? Do your job and ASK HIM YOURSELF! #R4Today

When will #r4today learn we don’t want the attack dog gotcha stuff we want grown up discussion of v complex problems. Grow up Robinson

Nick Robinson is wondering why voters haven’t heard about Labour’s positive announcements, when all Robinson talks about is Farage. #r4today

Fellow creatures: the new GCSE in natural history The new GCSE in natural history is a vital step toward restoring our knowledge of and respect for the natural world

🔥 Britain is about to launch a new GCSE in natural history – a vital step toward restoring our knowledge of and respect for the natural world.

Yes, and only 10% ever do voluntary work

The political right in the US have been radicalised so much that Fox News hosts calling for the execution of homeless people or the bombing/gassing of those at the UN get to keep their jobs. This is partly because the rest of the media have normalised such behaviour. #Americast #r4today

New statue on National Mall celebrates ‘long-lasting bond’ between Trump and Epstein Bronze statue by an anonymous creator shows the two men frolicking and holding hands with a foot kicked back in joy There’s a new statue on the east end of the National Mall for Washington DC residents and tourists to enjoy. The bronze statue shows two men frolicking, grinning wide and holding hands, each with a foot joyously kicked back. “We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein,” a plaque at the bottom of the spray-painted bronze installation reads. A permit from the National Park Service will allow the statue to stay on the National Mall grounds through 8pm on Sunday. Continue reading...

New statue on National Mall celebrates ‘long-lasting bond’ between Trump and Epstein

Thank you for your analysis and thoughtful balanced posts

If you removed American and Farage content from the BBC #r4today news it would only take 10 minutes instead of 3 hours.

Millions spent on Trump visit. Red carpets, Royals in coronets and golden dining services too. And all he offers in return are petulant racist insults about our capital city and our mayor.

What a singular lack of decorum, grace, and courtesy. Fuck him and his damp hands and his nicotine yellow wig

Dear BBC.
Trump’s claims aren’t ‘extraordinary’ or ‘controversial’. They’re total bollocks, and very dangerous.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
#r4today

Perhaps the #r4today headline should be "further evidence emerges that President Trump is completely unhinged and is obviously unfit for office". I really cannot understand why this is the lead item on a (previously) serious need programme.
