The BBC has announced it will turn off @BBCRadio4 Long Wave on 27th June. This will mark the end of our BBC as a national broadcaster, as vast areas of the UK will no longer be able to receive any BBC services (via FM,DAB,DVBT or internet) other than with a fixed satellite dish.

I'll never forgive Gove for his time as Education Secretary when he inflicted his own experience of education on our kids. As Chair of Governors I was forced to shutdown our school building site that provided courses for less academic kids at my school who could have been brickies, electricians and plumbers. He cut our funding, he's a c*nt. #hignfy

@BBC @ArqivaUK @arqiva Vast areas of the UK, particularly in Wales and Scotland, remain without FM, DAB, or mobile data reception, all of which are limited to line-of-sight. Turning off Long Wave @BBCRadio4 means that the BBC will no longer be a truly national broadcaster.

Curious that this property speculator chose to illustrate their proposed estate with swans, a WATER BIRD, in this very flood-prone area. #Hereford desperately needs homes for local people, but they must be truly affordable, secure, and until the #HousePriceCrash, for rent only.

The scheme will see 44 hectares (109 acres) of farmland developed south of Lower Bullingham, as part of a huge "southern urban expansion" of Hereford.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump saw this untouched wilderness in Albania and decided to build an enormous luxury resort there.

Albanians are fighting to shut them down.

The original building and land were given by the Cadburys to the people of Birmingham for their benefit. Not for the profit of property speculators. Not implying anything. Just saying.

The blaze broke out at the disused Hunters Hill College site in Blackwell, near Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, shortly after 21:00 BST on Monday.

This is cobblers.

The water shortage was a result of SE Water not being able to treat water fast enough to meet increased demand.

A failure of capacity and infrastructure.

Is this a pine marten? It appears much lighter in colour compared to what I am used to seeing? #cameratrap #trailcam #Transylvania #Romania

[Badger Mash @BadgerMash]

@p_aulwhite Partially leucistic pine martin? Leucism is relatively common in mustelids, I've seen it in badgers and polecat/ferrets, but never even heard of it in martens. Another speculation: I have a vague memory of reading somewhere that some martens can go white in winter, like stoats.

Young White-tailed Eagle 'disappears' from grouse shooting estate in North York Moors National Park.

Police think its disappearance is 'suspicious'. No shit.

🦡 The government’s decision not to renew the final culling licence in Cumbria has brought an end to one of the country’s most ineffective wildlife control policies.

However, there's still uncertainty about what may happen next. Read the full story here: https://t.co/ppexm9hXyB
