Locals blame 'plain greed' as Cornwall crowned second home capital Cornwall is now topping 14,000 second homes

Enough. F***ing enough. And what’s needed isn’t an imposed Devonwall devolution enforcing centralised housing plans, but genuine Cornish devolution with control of planning. There’s not a shortage of houses in Cornwall / there’s a misappropriation.

We welcome the Culture Secretary's commitment to arts education. Meaningful reform is urgently needed to reverse years of decline.

I feel quite sad about John Prescott’s death partly as Hull girl, and partly because he was smart in a way we don’t appreciate as much as we should. He had the piss taken out of him relentlessly for being thick & uneducated. He was often underestimated #johnprescott

Kari used to be in a relationship with my brother Kevin. Did Rich Cundill take the pics? He went to school with my brother.

Dartmoor Nature Alliance has drafted a vision for Dartmoor. It's a work in progress, and the Alliance wants to involve more people in refining this vision over the coming months.

Here are some highlights and a link at the end to the full document ... 🧡

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!
