Well they did you a favour - I am surprised and saddened that more Labour MPs don’t just leave the Labour Party with the way the party has been run since Sir Keir has been in charge.

Labour focused on appeasing Reform, not beating them, says Jeremy Corbyn Former Labour leader says his new party will inspire hope, not fear, and promises to reset β€˜broken’ political system

We are at a critical juncture. We need an alternative, now.

GOODBYE from ITV Cycling | Today at the Tour | Stage 21 | Tour de France YouTube video by ITV Sport

This week saw the end of the UK’s last free to air edition of the Tour de France. What a justice team ITV have done it over the years. Having a little cry at a sports show. Really worth watching this last farewell episode www.youtube.com/live/RUzzYvk...

Look you’ve gone off subject- I’m talking about the right to protest and freedom of speech. I’m not hugging anyone but I feel you need a hug

One man’s idea of a terrorist is another’s man’s freedom fighter. But I am talking about the right to peacefully protest and the right to free speech

Surely being against Mother Nature isn’t good for us, seeing as we are part of nature it is somewhat worrying. Just like it’s worrying that people show hate towards wanting to protect free speech and the right to protest peacefully

Thought for the day.

I stand with everyone speaking up for peace, justice & human rights β€” and against the misuse of UK terrorism laws to intimidate peaceful protesters.

It is also important to take good pictures. Just taking any old photo on the street and calling it street photography isn't good enough. There needs to be something happening in street photography, if you like, the street needs to speak it's truth & not be a mere architectural shot of meaningless

Do scientists even use the term β€˜Global Dimming’ anymore? Maybe the science has moved on. I worry they find it hard to express what’s really happening β€” perhaps afraid of being labelled doomsters or risking their funding

World Population Facts - Population Matters There are more than 8 billion people on planet Earth & we add one billion more every 12-15 years, which will probably continue until the 2080s

Whether we deserve it or not, we seem incapable now to change our ways. Many try to discredit those that warned us in the past like Malthus etc but we are now living with the results of our growth as a species

Well done, but I guess what I am trying to say with the article in a way is that the damage is already done, and we are dammed if we do dammed if we don't. ie cleaning up our act will only result in an even hotter climate now as the damage was done years ago. There could be trouble ahead.

Yes this is true what you say. I put it down to the fact that our species has grown too large to be environmentally sustainable. So it’s worrying what will happen next because if I am understanding that then those in power…..well what might they be thinking πŸ€”

I wonder if Phan Thi Kim PhΓΊc (Napalm Girl) can remember who took her picture. I guess she was too distressed at the time to remember.
