The IDF has been accused of horrific war crimes in Gaza by the UN Human Rights Council & Amnesty International. It is just common sense that those involved in war crimes should be held to account.

We're devastated to hear the news about Marjane Satrapi. She came to our festival in 2008 and was a pure force of nature. Wise, funny, engaging. This is a big loss. (Photo taken by Justin Westover during the festival)

And yet, still uses the right wing website formerly known as twitter

#BookSky So sorry to hear this.

Two days, four orchids. Working at @wildlifebcn.org Strawberry Hill and @sangerinstitute.bsky.social Genome Campus gave me four different orchid species - Bee, Southern Marsh (with a sleepy bee!), Common Spotted and Pyramidal. Delightful! #30DaysWild #Orchids #Wildflowers

Day 3 #30dayswild - a tiny, intricate & beautiful Herb-Robert flower. Historically associated with luck + fertility, and used traditionally medicinally as an antiseptic + insect repellent. Lots going on for such an unassuming plant growing on untended land! www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-...

I’d say the tedious fucking ashtray disqualified himself from Desert Island Discs with this interview in March 2015. See also: not being invited on A Good Read or Front Row. The man’s got nothing. He is the Archbishop of Fuck All.

#Day3 #30DaysWild #Rabbit #Nature The local nature reserve has closed off one of its meadows for the summer. (They want to make the breeding season easier for the ground nesting birds). The rabbits also appear quite comfortable with that decision.

South West Water fined £1.853m for supplying contaminated drinking water. SWW is a serial offender, loses 107m litres of water daily to leaky pipes, dumped sewage in rivers for 407,006 hours. Still trades. No exec fined or charged. People fleeced. End the circus. Nationalise water.

I managed to stand in the middle of a field to do an attention-seeking ‘announcement’ to nobody about the Henry Nowak murder, but I couldn’t be arsed to turn up to hear the Home Secretary’s statement in Parliament, which is my actual job.

Henry's brutal murder and the failures of the police have been appalling. His father's words are vital: "We don't want Henry's murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension."

#Day2 #30DaysWild #Hedgehog #SpeirGorm #SpéirGhorm #Nature I've been submitting records to #BiodiversityIreland for a few years now. (You can record all your nature sightings there). In what I hope in an encouraging sign, the hedgehog is the third most recorded species so far this year.

Carla Lockhart is the DUP MP for Upper Bann.

If you're wondering why the facts about a journalist being shot dead in the street in the UK in 2001 has been suppressed by the state for 25 years, and gets little or no attention in the British media, the answer is in the second sentence.

I am once again wondering whether "no, the legitimate concerns racists don't have a point, fuck off, they're racist" might have been a better way of combating the far right.

Left: Nigel Farage using the murder of Henry Nowak to sew division in society, "rights of white people matter less than ethnic minorities" Right: Henry Nowak's father, "We do not want his death used to create further division hated or tension"

The Independent joins the Guardian and others in “Invisibility-washing” the Greens. The Green Party is currently second in the polls and to date has taken more votes from Labour than any other party.

A question for #Day1 of #30DaysWild (albeit 24 hours late). Anyone know who might have laid the egg? It was taken on a path beside a lake. Greylags and swans are resident there.

Wow. That got awkward fast, even considering the participants.

The UK's water systems are crumbling. Thousands have been left without water in Kent. Our rivers are polluted. Our bills keep rising. This experiment of privatisation has failed. Public Ownership now.

Israel's escalating military campaign in southern Lebanon has already killed thousands of people and forced more than a million from their homes. This utter disregard for civilian lives is inexcusable. We saw these patterns in Gaza - it cannot happen again in Lebanon.

No excuse for killing birds for the sheer hell of it.

The truth is, Trump made things a lot worse and has no real plan beyond watching and waiting.

20% of a 2.3 million population = 460,000 people That's "at least." This is a believable figure of the dead so far in Gaza since 7 October 2023. #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

My long gone da told me a story of the guards raiding a bar in Dunlaoghaire around 1963. Everyone piled out the back door, including the magistrate who fined the slow lads on Monday morning.

There's a Lebanese family that lives near me. Their sister/sister-in-law and her family (in total nine people) were killed by an Israeli bomb a few days ago, and we're supposed to play football against the nation invading Lebanon and killing people indiscriminately as if this isn't happening?

An FBI agent told me to my face once that there were so many moving pieces, that I would likely end up with more charges than my trafficker. Full disclosure, this is the america ive always known.

It's been decades since Rainbow finished on ITV. We've had massive scientific advancements in so many different areas of life, and yet there is still no explanation for why Bungle used to walk around bollock-naked all day long but then go to bed in pyjamas.
