What a phenomenal waste of time and money this project was. @naturalengland.bsky.social you should be ashamed of yourself! 🤬🤬

'The police said in a statement four adults were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications after an “unauthorised projection”' Malicious communications? So much for freedom of speech! 2025 the year of the Thought Police?

"Helping biodiversity", says a milk carton. Yeah, *right*. Ireland's dying river and lake ecosystems, not to mention endless dairy prairies of sterile monoculture ryegrass, would beg to differ.

The Israeli government are continuing to starve civilians in Gaza, including 1 million children. And our Labour government refuses to challenge them...

Life would be SO much lovelier, full of beauty, diversity, and joy, if we could just find it in ourselves to give some of the land and seas back to nature. It wouldn't be hard. #Rewilding 🌍

Today’s newsletter includes an investigation into a Welsh Government owned body which is unapologetically promoting climate change misinformation. Plus a Labour calls on the party to start treating Wales with more respect. willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/exclusive-...
