I watched this conversation last night, and it was just *brilliant*. Neoliberal capitalism is killing off life on Earth, yet its name is almost never spoken, most people have never even heard of it. If we are to have a future, that MUST change. Watch this talk, then read 'The Invisible Doctrine'.

It is quite insane to fish - rich in animal protein - in order to feed to chickens or salmon to produce ... animal protein. Every way you turn capitalism makes money out of wrecking the planet. Capitalism is not the only way

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.

So we hear Angela Rayner has been giving Rachel Reeves ideas on how to change the tax system... Here's one: how about a wealth tax on the super rich? The UK's 50 richest families hold more wealth than 50% of the population. No more cruel cuts. It's time to tax wealth fairly.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.

Angela, next time you're lobbying Rachel Reeves...

The Sunday Times' Rich List is another wake-up call: 50 of the UK's richest families hold more wealth than half the UK population. While millions can’t afford food or heating, a tiny minority of the super-rich thrive. We need a fairer tax system to tackle extreme wealth and build a fairer society.

Fascinating. I always thought mature woodland was resistant to fire, but wasn't 100% sure. Confirmed. It could spur interesting debate re natural, hands-off rewilding vs accelerated ecological succession by planting oak, etc. Any rewilding is better than nothing! CC @irishrainforest.bsky.social

Why ridiculous? Tell me why UKGE invited fishermen to supply elvers and wait for payment until they were sold? They didn't get a permit and the EA made them put them back, as you know, and posing as the saviours of the Severn is so much hogwash.

You didn't mention that those eels were caught in the hope of getting a permit to export them to Belarus, but the EA forced Peter Wood to put them back. So much for the Severn Saviours baloney

A fair few replies to this along the lines of "Sycamore may be an invasive species, but that tree was still iconic." Would they say the same about an old rhodo, for eg? We should hope not. But my main point was how people are more incensed by obvious damage to one tree than mass, outright ecocide.

The privatised water companies in England have faced criticism for huge bonuses, underinvestment and environmental issues. Scottish Water reinvests all its revenue - approximately £800 million annually - into infrastructure and services ensuring that profits are used to benefit the public.

Nothing is achieved Dave by being rude. The offensive tweets you and your chums posted on Twitter probably helped my campaign to stop the export of elvers to Russia. Your support did Peter Wood of UK Glass Eels no end of harm. Time to wise up Dave and stop being so rude to people.

Time for you to move on, Dave.If elvers die this is partly natural, partly because the eel passes need improving, and because the river is polluted by farming and privatised water companies. You need to channel your energies in those directions if you want change. Get behind all restocking plans

Defra tends to support business rather than the environment when there is a choice. Hence, perhaps, wanting tax-payers' money for woodland creation via planting to go to tree growers when the same money would support much greater woodland creation if by natural regeneration.

000

Richard Fleming @richardfleming46.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

This is a major drag on woodland creation. Vast areas could be opened up for woodland creation if we trusted in natural processes and didn't arrange to send taxpayers money straight back to business (eg tree nurseries). The area could be huge and the cost actually negligible, maybe a bit of fencing.
