‘Zionism Is Racism’: Israeli Historian Ilan Pappe Dissects the Outrage
The hysterical reaction by politicians and the media to the Green Party’s ‘Zionism is Racism’ policy is ignorant, manipulative – and entirely predictable. The Greens are on the right side of history.

Flying is officially on course to account for *almost all* the UK's carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Heathrow expansion alone would cause more carbon emissions by 2054 than *any other sector of the economy*. So why is it being contemplated? My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The expansion of Heathrow would be an expensive disaster for Britain and the world. Burnham needs to block it | George Monbiot
A third runway would fly in the face of reason. If we are to prioritise human life over short-term ‘growth’, we need to use planes less, not more, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

ah ok. must say I hadn't any recollection of the record before I searched Birdguides for Naumann's

Tim Lincoln @lepa23.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
whether it was confirmed / accepted, I have no idea

Tim Lincoln @lepa23.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
it's certainly unusual! looks like the 2nd record was accepted too. I wouldn't be surprised if this was one of those records of a 1st for UK that they review some time. there's also been a bird in Cork before (according to Birdguides)

Tim Lincoln @lepa23.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
I never went for this bird and I regret it! does the 2nd record not put the 1st record in more dubious light though? maybe someone was keeping / breeding them nearby?

there's a very big difference between licensed Badger culls - and of course the vast bulk of that figure is from unnecessary bTB culling, unsupported by actual science - and taking juveniles of a threatened species for food, in an archipelago that has 60% of the world population.

'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing'. So what can we do? It's beyond me. It's maddening, soul destroying. Civil aviation should be all but stopped. Growth abandoned. And so on. I've lost all hope, but that doesn't make it any less terrible. In fact, worse.

there are lots of us further east waiting for news of Poms from you guys! it's of huge interest to a great many of us I can assure you. they're a species encouraged for inclusion on the Sussex Bird News channel so anyone leaving would likely have been doing so for a different reason.
