    The Archers on R4 has been pushing climate change as a reason to rewild near Ambridge. Two crackpots Rex and Kirsty were thinking of releasing beavers into the environment but opposition was voiced by angry local farmers. Local rewilding may have benefits … but it is nothing to do with global climate.

      Being very tall – I think I qualify as an ‘unrepresented group ‘. I deserve to work from home for four days a week subject to my work life balance needs .. as well as the stress of the job …

        Don’t forget your entitlement to maternity leave and don’t let any “Far Right” people tell you that you can’t give birth to – or indeed chest-feed – a baby.

          I’m definitely an unrepresented minority discriminated group.

          I don’t have pierced ears !! Jewellers don’t want to know about the likes of us with our lobes in tact, so it’s nigh on impossible to buy clip on earrings on the High Street. Etsy is my saviour.

          Perhaps I should stage a one woman protest outside Parliament 🤔

      Then sit back and watch Westminster sink to 3rd world levels of governance, corruption and mismanagement. Or go up in flames like California.
      Unbelievable. We’re actually advertising and paying for people to destroy our country.
      CULTURAL SUICIDE!

      Douglas Murray’s first words in The Strange Death of Europe: “Europe is committing suicide.”
      Read the intro below, and share, share, share, as if our lives depended on it. Because they do.

    I see they have changed the Newspeak term BAME to “global majority” I think our minority rights have been violated.

    *Fat bastard* is getting name makeover too, looks like to make sure plump people, who can’t quite manage to reach a BMI of 30, can still be prescribed expensive drugs

    “Obesity needs new definition, says global report”

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c79dz14d30ro

    “The report calls for a “reframing” of obesity to distinguish between patients with a disease and those who remain healthy, but at risk of disease in the future.

    Those with chronic illnesses caused by their weight should be diagnosed with ‘clinical obesity’ – but those with no health problems should be diagnosed with ‘pre-clinical obesity’ ”

    Coming next: being diagnosed with thought crime and pre thought crime.

    Always ask what the real headline is
    Monday BBC local news
    “GOOD news for Scunthorpe as Teeside mayor says Scunthorpe will be granted 2 electric arc furnaces..*green steel* rah, rah, rah”

    real news
    GOODBAD news for BRITAIN as announcement implies UK will close it’s last blast furnaces
    and thus need to IMPORT the high quality virgin steel the military needs”

    The item seemed to be deep spin for Labour
    No one in Scunthorpe who knows steel industry would write it that way.

    Going electric arc means closing the raw steel making side
    that’s half the steel plant .. so means thousands of job losses
    So is not GOOD for Scunthorpe”

    MUCH more to this than meets the eye:

    “Putin’s nuclear deal, a tangled web of properties and how I shone the spotlight on the murky world of holier-than-thou Tulip Siddiq.

    While I believe the Labour Party did not mislead me deliberately, The Mail on Sunday took the view that Ms Siddiq lied to us.

    So we published our own story that weekend, detailing exactly what Ms Siddiq told us and how she had threatened to sue when cornered.

    Dozens of Bangladeshis contacted me via social media, email and phone calls thanking me for investigating Ms Siddiq.

    They said that her aunt’s government – from which Ms Siddiq continues to distance herself – had not only committed the worst human rights abuses in the country for the past 15 years, but they also looted the country like never before.

    It was the world’s worst kleptocracy, they told me.”

    “Fury as PM paves the way to give Gerry Adams tens of thousands of pounds in compensation: Former Sinn Fein leader in line for payout following unlawful detention in the 1970s after Labour law change.

    Experts said that Mr Adams could get tens of thousands of pounds if the new legislation, tabled by ministers last month, passes.

    If hundreds of others also lodge claims, it raises the prospect of the compensation bill reaching tens of millions of pounds.”

    BBC blasted after hiring new boss from Canada who told journalists not to call Hamas ‘terrorists’

    During his time at Canada’s public broadcaster, leaked emails showed Mr Achi instructing staff not to refer to Hamas as terrorists, in the wake of the October 7th attacks.

    This was despite the fact that Canada had categorised the Palestinian group as a ‘terrorist entity’ many years earlier.

    According to the leaked emails, released in October 2023, shortly after the attacks took place, Mr Achi had told staff: ‘Do not refer to militants, soldiers, or anyone else as ‘terrorists’.’

    He added: ‘The notion of terrorism remains heavily politicised and is part of the story. Even when quoting/clipping a government or a source referring to fighters as ‘terrorists’, we should add context to ensure the audience understands this is opinion, not fact.’
