She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

ON THIS DAY in 2022 it was reported that in the UK, the Tory Austerity Polices, which provided tax breaks for the rich, killed an estimated 334,000 British citizens.

Although some Tories who supported this are now retired, many are still active, and many in the #Reform Party.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

29 ‘missing’ Hen Harriers & nearly 40 birds of prey poisoned, trapped or shot in Yorkshire Dales National Park since 2015 Media attention has been drawn to the Yorkshire Dales National Park this week, following the RSPB’s press release on the suspicious disappearance of a satellite-tagged Hen Harrier named &#821…

I believe she doesn’t like it when her name is pronounced ‘Bad….enoch’, so try not to repeat it.

Human Rights - It seems we don’t need them 🤔 Daily Mail headline

There's so many acorns over the park, it's like walking on a pebble beach.

Jane Goodall’s final, urgent, message "Intelligent creatures don’t destroy their only home.”

Before her death, Jane Goodall left us all with a compelling message from her last interviews: While we’re the most 'intellectual animals' to ever walk the planet, "we’re not intelligent."

“Because intelligent creatures don’t destroy their only home.”

From our friends at @vox.com:

About time consequences were faced for the PPE scandal…

But why only Michelle Mone?

£15b worth of contracts were flagged with a corruption risk

So where’s the rest of them?

And what about the Tory ministers who greenlit that institutionally corrupt VIP lane?

Mine crashed out towards the end with an apology from the BBC for the disruption, I thought it had been pulled, albeit too late by then.

A poem written several years ago by my daughter, in response to 'missing' Golden Eagles Adam and Charlie. The picture also shows a newplast model of a dead eagle. The persecution of our raptors in the UK continues unabated.

My daughter could hazard a guess.

If you object to a UK #DigitalID, that's fine, that's your choice to object.

Police using vape-spiking detectors in crackdown which has seen youngsters sick The Metropolitan Police has been using a range of tools to detect and prevent spiking, with officers conducting safety checks and engaging with party-goers across the capital

Women in London deserve to be safe, and to feel safe - whatever time of day or night, and wherever they are in the capital, so I welcome fresh action by the Met to make women safer by tackling spiking across London’s bars, clubs and night-time venues.

The golden way is to be friends with the world and to regard the whole human family as one 😊

Sorry, I just 🤣🤣. At least you tried.

To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

Stunning clouds this morning.

US: homicide rate per million - 68 people London - homicide rate per million - 9.8 Pics of Trump and Khan

Sadiq Khan's team on Trump's comments about London crime

The homicide rate in the US is seven times that of London

St George’s flag enhanced by the addition of slogans welcoming migrants.

This is actually blasphemous, plain and simple.

The perpetrators must be crucified.

Holy shit scorched earth motherfucker

Has Melania joined witness protection?

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.
