Any plans to visit the south Lincs / north Cambs wastelands anytime soon ? I'm guessing Edenham is New this year, and Burton Coggles ?

Mate, you're an absolute legend, even though your posts bring me to tears. Keep on doing what you do. Can't express my admiration for you.

This is what patriotism looks like.

Chris Kluwe, a former NFL player was arrested after speaking out against plans to install a MAGA plaque at a Southern California library. What a legend.

The irony is that it’s unlikely a MAGA supporter has ever set foot in a library.

20 years on and the Hunting ban clearly isn’t working, it’s failing wildlife.

We need a proper ban on hunting! Share if you agree!

Jeremy Clarkson is scapegoating badgers for bTB and has reportedly slaughtered them all on his land. This is disgusting, cruel, and ignorant.

You know what he’d really hate? If you shared this and signed the petition to end the badger cull. Let’s do it

⚠️ FACT: Tens of thousands of badgers are killed every year in a cull that does NOTHING to stop bovine TB.
