WE FACE AN URGENT NEW MISSION! 🐻🐻

At Wildwood Trust, every animal has a story, but the journey of two tiny bear cubs from Belgium has touched our hearts like no other.

These cubs have endured an extraordinary tale of resilience and survival, but now, they desperately need your help to find a safe and loving forever home.

One year-old bear cubs Malenky and Nanuq have only ever known a life of instability and uncertainty.

Their mother, a survivor of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, was rescued from unimaginable circumstances on the front line, trapped in northern Ukraine by advancing troops and weeks of bombing.

As the conflict moved east, rescue teams were finally able to get in and she was taken to Poland, crossing the border amongst thousands of refugees also fleeing the war. With most emergency shelters quickly filling up, she was moved between different zoos before being brought to safety in Belgium and against all odds gave birth to the twins, offering a symbol of hope amid turmoil.

Now, we need to give these bear cubs a home so they can start a new chapter in their life, one where they can be safe to grow and play and explore, and never know the horrors their mum faced.

They are temporarily being housed in a small enclosure alongside four other bears, but have quickly outgrown the space and need a home of their own. They have the chance for a better life here at Wildwood.

We need your help to rescue these bear cubs and bring them to Wildwood Devon, where they can live in a woodland haven with our bears Mish and Lucy.

We need to raise £75,000 by March to rescue Malenky and Nanuq and give them the home they deserve.
Together, we can be the lifeline these cubs need.

Be a part of their story, and bring these cubs home to ensure they have a bright, happy future.

DONATE TO BRING THEM HOME

To all those people frothing at the mouth about Angela Rayner dancing, whilst she is on her holidays and parliament is in recess, remember the Tories did that in Downing Street when the country was in lockdown.

Nigel Farage has been unable to visit Clacton but was seen yesterday at the Le Rabassier restaurant in Brussels enjoying dinner with his French girlfriend Laure Ferrari.
Seems he had the lamb.

Truss is appalled by the attacks on free speech. Well I’m appalled that a woman who claims £150k per year pension, for being PM for all of 45 days, has the audacity to want the pension age to be 80yr. Imagine being a manual worker and hearing this shit? The woman’s batshit.

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

Elon Musk reposted a screenshot of a fake Telegraph article (posted by the co-leader of Britain First), to his 193 million followers stating that Keir Starmer is considering setting up detainment camps.

That’s not free speech, it’s being an irresponsible knee-jerking knobhead.

When your hear Rishi Sunak, Robert Jenrick, Suella Braverman, Priti Patel , James Cleverly & Kemi Badenoch call for calm over the coming days, just remember they helped light the touch-paper for these race riots by allowing the spread of disinformation like this from Tory HQ:

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Takes a camcorder to a hotel housing asylum seekers & films himself saying they could be Isis fighters. But it’s nothing to do with him when people set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers…

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

We need @BBCNews, @SkyNews and @itvnews to stop calling violent, organised, extremist rioters 'protestors'.

Stop legitimising hate crime.

RT if you agree.

[The London Economic @LondonEconomic]

So get this.

- Lee Anderson suspected a local Travelodge was housing illegal migrants.
- He kicked up a fuss about it on social media.
- Turns out it was international NHS nurses and their families working in a local hospital and care homes.

Imagine your response to the death of three children being to peddle conspiracy theories that incite a riot.

This is why Farage deserves the label far-right. Everyone who is associated with him, has normalised him or promoted him should be ashamed.

This is vile.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

They came after me with the cat lady shit too. So please just sit down & listen.

Misogyny is one of the deadliest weapons on earth. Misogyny is electoral interference. Misogyny is a national security threat so lethal we can’t even see it.

Frankly, if anybody with £10m in the bank says the can't afford to pay a 2% wealth tax, they should cancel Netflix and learn to batch cook

The people who oppose
Kamala Harris

But support Andrew Tate

The choice is simple:

1. A decent but frail old man, surrounded by a good, experienced team.

2. A bat-shit crazy old man, surrounded by a bunch of sycophant hooligans.

Liz Truss, Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage are all in America. Change the locks.

Excuse the fuck me… but why’s MSM so quiet about Reform MP James MacMurdock having served jail time, after he was convicted of attacking his ex-girlfriend, especially after what’s happening in the UK right now with femicide? The hypocrisy of reform to say they wanna protect women & girls. It’s disgusting I had to find out through X/Twitter.
