Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

The Fairy Lochs, the site of a B-24 Liberator that crashed here on its way back to USA on 13th June 1945. Sadly, all 9 crew and 6 passengers lost their lives.

Absolutely horrifying. How can our government be planning to drill for new oil and gas when we know these are the consequences? We have to keep the pressure on this Labour Government to keep all fossil fuels in the ground and secure a safe future for our children and grandchildren.

At what point does ‘the masked men on the street have legitimate concerns’ and ‘Just Stop Oil/Palestine Action are terrorists’ become two tier policing?

Listening to a man at the farmers market explain he’s out of eggs as “the ladies aren’t producing due to heat stress”— and another poultry vendor says he’s out, as he can’t keep them in this heat. Climate change is all around. We just have to open our eyes to see how it’s affecting our daily lives.
