How grim. Fish was the very FIRST meat I gave up 44 years ago... due to the ecological carnage caused by bottom trawling, over-fishing and fish farming. That was followed by pork products and all other meat.
It seems you can live healthily, without supplements, without wrecking the marine ecosystem.
@lisanandymp.bsky.social When are you going to do something about the political appointees in BBC News and Current Affairs and their overt editorial bias?
Amphibians are highly sensitive to pollution
Flea treatments in ponds can affect survival & breeding

They've not been allowed in agriculture for almost a decade - so why/how are Fipronil and imidacloprid deemed safe for pets?
Just ban these toxins.

I think I'll keep that information to myself, thanks.
Blocking you now.
If you don't think Macquarie's record isn't an issue, you're really not paying attention. The rest is projection.
Yep. We had 14 years of Tory dogma, which should have been time to implement cheap renewable generation AND update the grid.
New generation is still slow to come online, and we still pay for turbines to stop generating.
When (not if) we increase grid capacity, the UK can be a net exporter too.
If you think height is funny, you legitimise "jokes" about Zac's teeth, Badenoch's gender, Lammy's ethnicity, or Gordon Brown's partial sight.
Feel free to find humour in hypocrisy, policies or statements you don't like, but let's leave "hilarious" non-jokes about physical attributes to the 1970s.
Perhaps check what else they have control over, and then ask yourself if across the portfolio, they maxed out dividends, racked up debt, and failed to provide services or invest in accordance with their contracts, and then run (which was exactly their TW business model) what the impact would be.
Any company that is allowed to become "too big to fail" or its assets to be "indispensible" is a problem, if it's primary goal is extracting profit from essential, basic human needs or the fundamental needs of the economy.
Doing this, at huge scale, is Macquarie's business model (see Thames Water).
"Catherine Rowett, from Norfolk County Council, said overseas investors were aiming to make huge profits and called for solar projects to be locally owned...
IGP is owned by the Australian firm Macquarie Asset Management"
Macquarie asset stripped for dividends and put Thames Water billions in debt
True heroes. And we can all make a difference, in our locality, in our field of expertise, or with our skills.
And collectively, with others, we can do it better.

And it should be "All of the above".
It's. Not. Just. Frogs.
Snakes, toads, lizard, slowworm, newt, and many, many, many increasingly declining invertebrates.
Pheasants in their 10s of millions are an clear, massive barrier to nature recovery in the UK.
Ban their release, do it now.
And let's all stop defending the indefensible.
David Attenborough takes on PHEASANTS!
“Native to Asia, but now released into our countryside on an industrial scale, over 30 million every year… eating vast numbers of insects, reptiles and amphibians every day.”
Time for the Government to regulate this out-of-control industry
#SecretGarden
I pick up 100s of butt's each time I do one area on my weekly litter-pick.
If people think the fine is low AND they'll never be caught, there's no chance of stopping the chronic plastic pollution this behaviour creates.
Why should I pay for enforcement in my council tax?
Fine more.
Fine big.
It's not sarcasm.
No Conservative should be allowed to speak on this matter without being reminded that Boris Johnson failed his security vetting, yet the Tories appointed him to be Foreign Minister and then Prime Minister.
If your concern is his height, you're not paying attention. It's no better than moaning about Starmer's voice, Miliband's eating or Polanski's teeth.
None of which are issues.
Corruption, lies, racism, misogyny, economic illiteracy, unaccountability, foreign crypto-funding - are issues, not height.
Definitely NOT a plc. That would demand transparency and proper governance.
Reform 2025 Ltd is a private limited company.
Farage and Tice are the only directors. No one else has any say, and Farage has a controlling share.
Totally undemocratic, and accountable to no one but him.
A model of Autocracy
@lisanandymp.bsky.social
Read this thread. Can the BBC be any clearer?
Why are you not acting to remove the political appointees in BBC News and Current Affairs?
No. It's time to end the era of political appointees in News and Current Affairs editorial teams, and reintroduce independence... and to replace briefing false narratives, propaganda and "both-sidesing" with proper journalism.
It was never perfect, but it used to be SO much better, and can be again
That page is bizarre - awful, child-targeted, purest propaganda. Orwellian.
The evidence is overwhelming... don't dither, do it. Ban topical treatments for pets, like they've already been banned for livestock.

Ever had the feeling this was the whole point?
James Bembridge on X: Hate is too weak a word for what I feel towards the NHS. I'd tear it down and salt the earth upon which it stood.
Lovely people, these Reform UK candidates for the upcoming election, and great to know they're on our side.
Bottom trawling doesn't just kill unintended "bycatch" fish species: It rips up their entire ecosystem - the features, shelter, breeding + food need for their lifecycle.
It's like ploughing out a forest to "harvest" its deer.
Marine ecosystems are very, very important for humanity.
Ban it - now
Shhh. If they find out there's a filthy, really expensive hydrocarbon to burn, they'll ban renewable generation in the name of "fair competition", and "saving the environment" in order to create a private Ingerlish monopoly so they can own the shares.
Mmm... tunnelling... coal, the fuel of empyre builders.
Xept it's not even Ingerlish gas. It's about 70% forrin gas. The wind however is 100%, three lions, bulldog Ingerlish... so it still makes no sense.
