I'm not a political strategist, but shutting BBC Scotland's broadcast service down completely to save £42 million seems like an early and very generous Christmas present from UK Labour to the independence parties there.

About 50 million pheasants are released in Britain each year. Tens of millions of those pheasants will have been bred on what we consider to be factory farms, trucked out to woodland pens and fed through the summer. Then they are flushed towards people who have paid to kill them.

Without doubt the Drumcree issue has been raised to deliberately set back good relations, not just in Portadown but everywhere.

It's Free Wills Month for over 55s. As I say in my book, wills aren't just about property but who can claim your body and call the shots on your funeral. It there's no executor then the entitlement order kicks in. Protect those left behind from any dramas 💀👍 freewillsmonth.org.uk

Nobody is being prevented from walking. The march has walked a route back into Portadown every year, including the last 28 years. Truth matters.

Carla Lockhart is also the MP for the residents of the Garvaghy Road. And a parade along a different road is still a parade.
Members of Parliament (MPs) have several key duties to their constituents, including representing their interests in Parliament, addressing local issues, and providing assistance with government services. They also hold advice surgeries to help constituents with personal matters and communicate their concerns to the government.

Councils should have staff who just go around and sort out minor problems they see. Bag of rubbish - collect it. Street sign a bit wonky - straighten it. Overgrown weeds - pull them. All those small jobs. They're the things that make a place better to live if they're resolved.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

The thing is they need our misery to keep their vote. Because happiness breeds hope, & the political reps of unionism as far as I can see, promise nothing hopefull, just a dream of a return to a much mourned dominance. 11 people were murdered to get marching this route. 3 children burned to death.

But there are skylarks, short-eared owls, avocets and curlew. Sandilands, a former golf course on the Lincolnshire coast, has been transformed by the National Trust into a 2km-long nature reserve with wetlands, wading pools, rough grassland and coastal scrub.

An animal who gets stuck in a glue trap is desperately scared. They can die of the stress alone, and can get suffocated if their face gets caught in the glue. Or they can die of thirst and hunger. Animals have also been known to chew off their own limbs in a desperate attempt to free themselves.
