FINAL THOUGHT OF THE DAY… Imagine you had fallen into a coma in 2015, and had just woken from it… What would you think of the UK, and indeed the world in general? Would you ask to be put back into an induced coma?

I said in my speech to conference, the RNLI are the best of us. For those lucky enough to have parents volunteering with RNLI, I hope they feel nothing but pride in their parents.

Children of RNLI lifeboat volunteers are bullied at school because their parents rescue migrants in the English channel

Grace and her baby, Randy, came to us because a rancher’s wife bottle fed Grace & fell in love. She crossed the line that separates pets from “livestock.” She saved them from sale to the highest bidder & merciless slaughter. Join the Herd to save more Animals!🐮 ➡️https://buff.ly/rp5Y9oz

Teaching compassion means helping children connect kindness with everyday choices. It means explaining, honestly and appropriately, that animals have their own needs, feelings, and lives. We can offer nourishing plant-based meals while encouraging respect for those lives. #animalrights

A fresh coat of “humane” doesn’t change the business model. #animalrights #dairy

Black-and-white image of a serious-looking man holding a white sign against a brick wall. The sign reads, “The only ethical dairy farm is a closed one,” with “closed” underlined. Smaller The Vegan Project branding sits beneath the slogan.

for all her bleating to the contrary rowling obviously does care about her reputation. that's what this propaganda film from the bbc is really about. if you listen to terfs they are *always* complaining about how ppl don't like them. it's their biggest peeve. they want to be bigoted *and* liked.

Two-column collage headed “What you see” and “What I see.” Steak, a fried egg, and milk bottles are paired with graphic images of a cow hanging in a bloodied slaughterhouse, a feather-depleted hen, and dead calves. Footer reads, “I think. Therefore I am vegan.” Branded The Vegan Project.

I think a Hedgehog would be lovely, as for inspirational people, that's often a case of inspirational for some but a tyrant for others, a Hedgehog should offend no one, if we need a person maybe sir Dave Attenborough, he loves Hedgehogs ❤️

Four photographs show a captive orca, a leather handbag, a trophy hunter behind a dead lion, and someone eating a burger. Text reads “Animal cruelty has many faces” and “Recognize them all.” Branded “The Vegan Project.”

I had to explain to my family when they would quote "WOKE" as a slur, i asked them a few questions about caring for people and the environment, minority groups , then i proudly declared them WOKE, it took a while for their mindset to grasp being WOKE is a compliment not insult as the haters think!

A cleaner, greener future is possible.

Four stills from a video featuring Mayor of London Sadiq Khan discussing improvements to London’s waterways. The images show the Mayor speaking beside a waterway, a beaver swimming and a green riverside landscape surrounded by trees and buildings.
Yellow subtitles read: “Most Londoners pass our waterways without thinking much about them. But what if they were cleaner? Greener? Better for wildlife? That’s exactly what we’re delivering in London. Because nature needs a helping hand right now.”
