I enjoy being reminded of the 'Melsters' tiny majority in his shires seat at the last election..... 61 votes.
Devon was so close to sinking him 😭

While we were fishing we watched the trawlers go up and down, using GPS so they didn't miss an inch. The whole thing seemed so unjust.

I have now stopped. Completely.
After my first fishing trip on a charter boat off Plymouth.
8 of us using rods to catch fish at 200 ft. The whole experience was deeply distressing. Hauling up live fish on hooks with their stomachs and eyes popping out and then bashing them with a stick.

A reminder that @theguardian.com pay Simon Jenkins for this quality of commentary. When he isn't: a) writing uninformed bilge; b) pointing out the obvious; c) he has a third strand up his sleeve: contradicting himself.

Next thing.... People will believe in an all powerful sky 'god' and make a multi billion dollar industry using brain washing buildings called 'churches' to extract money from 'the faithful'

Stop using Google as well. There are plenty of alternatives.

Apparently one of the guys who cut the tree down was involved in a planning dispute over his home (a static caravan on his land), and this was one of the main factors involved.
