This is what a large amount of people want to see. They may not always voice it, thanks to pressure on public discourse from the media but it’s growing & growing.
I’ve been waiting years to hear this message from someone wanting my vote.

Anyone given to doubting the existence of a political establishment can witness the avalanche of smears descending on the Green Party from all parts of the media right now.
It's like they all got the same email telling them what to print and post.
They might as well just ban voting.

Our brand new podcast, Folklore Matters, launches today.
David Clarke, Sophie Parkes-Nield, and Diane Rodgers speak to people working with or researching folklore to find out more about their work, how they discovered folklore, and to get their thoughts on the findings of the Survey.
Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

Slightly random one...
Wondering if there might be a Manchester/Salford birder who might be thinking of heading over for the Speke grackle tomorrow (maybe the roost?), please drop us a DM 👍 (...and if you've got a spare pair of bins, even better 😉😂).
Thanks v much, Mark
