If they've only charged him under CDA 1971, then it's the same charge as doing graffiti or knocking off a policeman's hat. I repeat: there is two tier policing in the UK - one tier for grannies holding placards opposing genocide, and a much lower one for Nazis trying to murder people at sea.

Microsoft wants to build a 160MW AI data centre just outside of Leeds, next to the River Aire. By its own numbers the resulting habitat loss is massive. The reedbed and wet woodlands will lose 87% of their biodiversity value whilst the site as a whole will lose 72% of its existing wildlife habitats.

Stage One of the Tour Of Britain in Cockermouth. My first time trying to photograph a bike race. (While trying to explain what's happening to my niece and nephew, AND holding my "Garn Lasses" sign) Lots more pics to come... @tourofbritain.bsky.social @nedboulting.bsky.social @britishcycling.org.uk

Seven female pro-cyclists racing towards the camera; three from team Alba, and one each from UAE L'imad, GBR, O'Shea, and UnoX. In the background is the safety barrier with crowds of people against it.

Me holding up a large, brightly coloured sign that says in red cardboard cutouts "GARN LASSES!" with "ALLEZ!" underneath. There are light-coloued love hearts stuck around the edge

We *can* all do something (not spark wildfires, for example). But asking individual citizens to solve systemic problems is peak neo-liberalism. Not watering our gardens isn’t going to fix pipes or build reservoirs. Government needs to do more than ban barbecues and send scary alerts. NOW.

The author of the article thinks that not wanting birds to be battered to death by humans is disney-fying then it looks like I'm a disney girlie 🤷‍♀️ [For me, disney-fying is not wanting the natural brutality of survival to occur. It is not being against humans CHOOSING to inflict pain & suffering]

Microsoft want to build three huge AI data centres at Skelton Grange. It would drain the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop it - add your name to the petition.

When we are told not to speak ill of the dead, it is the continuation of the whitewashing - turning the cruel into the eccentric or the avuncular - allowing their cruelty to go unspoken of for the purpose of “manners” that they didn’t demonstrate in their lives as they happily dehumanised

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

Two small plaques attached to a black metal pole in a small, but lush green garden, with a red brick terraced back-to-back house in the background.

The top plaque reads: "Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. Team Wilder. Wildlife Gardening Award 2026: Silver. This is a wildlife friendly garden. ywt.org.uk/team-wilder"
