A Dairy Story

At Ramsgate Film Festival yday I saw adairystory.com
& met David Finlay, one of my heroes. I hope cow calf dairies continue to gain market share - remember when organic was seen as a fad that could never be commercial? Well done to
@ciwf.org.uk @philip-ciwf.bsky.social for championing the film

Photo from the early 1970s of a man on horseback negotiating the Birmingham inner ring road at Holloway Head

I’m searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but I’ve been unable to track it down.

Any leads? I’m really hoping to use it in a book.

(And would much appreciate a RT please)

Thx for the share. I’m so sorry (and embarrassed but unsurprised) that the CJS made an impossible situation even worse

Genuinely think this coverage is worthy of formal complaint – and if the BBC doesn’t take it seriously, it should be escalated to Ofcom.

The appearance of caving to the Trump White House, when the BBC is being sued, could be disastrous for public trust.

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

They know what they say is untrue, they do not care it is untrue.

The media know that what they repeat is untrue, they do not care it is untrue.

Their supporters know what they are told is untrue, they do not care it is untrue.

Telling the truth is not enough, unless people care about the truth.

The task for political leadership now is not just to tell the truth, but to make people care about what is true and what is not.

Trump threatens Canada with 100% tariff over China trade talks Trump made the threat in a social media post as tensions rise between the US and its northern neighbour.

We’ve had this game of Cluedo since the 1970s. The ‘preparations for play’ truck no nonsense and the implements are weighty originals, save for the rope which had to be improvised. I won (Col Mustard, conservatory, lead pipe) so plainly the day job has transferable skills

I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands.
Every purchase genuinely makes a difference to my tiny business.
Shop independent this Christmas.

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Ministers commissioned a sentencing review and introduced the Sentencing Bill, knowing that change was needed to address the prisons crisis. But they risk making it even worse.

Demolishing 1 Silk Street would waste carbon and damage local character. A retrofit could save both.

We’ve objected to the plans, now it’s time to rethink how we treat our existing buildings. Why demolish when we can refurbish?

Reuse saves heritage, carbon, & character. 👉 shorturl.at/VjnpU
