‘It’s dying in front of our eyes’: how the UK’s largest lake became an ecological disaster Signs tout a natural paradise, but pollution from over-farming has left Northern Ireland’s Lough Neagh choked by toxic algae

"Sinn Féin and the DUP have stalled the nutrients action programme over fears of a farmer backlash."

Sums it up

Absolutely right. Here in the UK the opposition has a spokesperson for each cabinet position and the press give them airtime every time the gov makes an announcement. They also get to question the government and hold them to account in televised 'prime minister's questions' (PMQs).

We're sleepwalking towards total climate collapse– it's why I'm petitioning the UK Govt to BAN fossil fuel advertising and sponsorships , following the lead of cities and countries around the world petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

We will always have Blackpool ❤️
