Very disappointed with GWR today. My train ran on time and thus no compensation to offset the price of the ticket 😏

Protect the Wild @protectthewild.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
An annual report reveals how criminals are getting away with torturing and killing wildlife. In 2025, there were 2,149 reports of suspected wildlife crime, but 41 convictions. The Wildlife and Countryside Link report shows a stark reality: most wildlife crimes can be committed with total impunity.

Surely it is time for the authorities to take this Fairford terrorism case out of the hands of the police & pass it over to Nigel Farage, Richard Tice & Isabel Oakeshott etc. These people have the expertise & skills to have this all solved & explained to the public by tonight.👍

Hit Dartmoor first thing for a day on river Teign (pretty clean but still got some sewage fungus!) and saw kingfisher in first 5 mins and equally cool I almost stepped on a decent sea trout - boy did it spook! The only one I saw. I wonder if I’ll see any next year….x

I’ve read your posts twice now and find I agree with your every word. Been having lots of similar conversations recently which often end (tragically imo) with someone saying “we need another war”…

Nonsense isn’t it? I’m willing to bet they never considered the cost (nearly £2bn) nor the likelihood of retaliatory deportations of Brit peados etc back home. Just racist clickbait bollo. Again

I’ve got to work out what to do with ratty. Either it needs slimming down a fair bit to be thin again or (and this is my preference) it divides into 3 and I have a rats’ nest instead? Cutting edge of fashion or what? Oh and thank you for the compliment xx

Good for me but Amelia and Cassady set off from Woking at 1 and are not expected until six. They had to abandon southwestern as couldn’t even squeeze into a carriage and were advised to make their way to reading and get GWR instead. Absolutely disgraceful service again and another full refund! X

From 7 @lbc.co.uk: Burnham blames Brexit for dividing Britain. Can the rift be healed? Tories want to deport 40k foreign law breakers - but what if we get British crooks deported from foreign jails by return? And will Labour’s Nature Restoration Fund do anything to restore nature? 📞0345 6060973 x
