The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing. This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly rights.

When "ceasefire" actually just means genocide-as-usual.

Ever wondered what it would be like to be a rat dropping on an island waiting to be discovered by Jinx the Conservation Detection Dog? Wonder no more! We delivered some biosecurity equipment to Flat holm earlier this month and Greg and Jinx performed their routine check of the island #dogswithjobs

If you discover an invasive predator on your boat, never throw it overboard - many are very good swimmers & can travel even further if they find debris to drift on. We recommend returning to a mainland harbour & deploying appropriate control measures: biosecurityforlife.org.uk/resources/ca...
