@TiceRichard Poor old Andy. If only he had been gifted millions of pounds, which he could then have asked his wife to buy a house with in Makersfield. Nothing escapes your gimlet eye.
We are struggling to find Junior a new home, despite his previous appeals. Can you please share to help him on his way?
Junior is a 6 month old Malinois cross Mastiff. He is available and looking for a new home through no fault of his own.
Junior would be best in a home with no other pets due to his size and dominance over other dogs.
He is young enough to be trained however we will be very specific in his new home as we'd like someone who is use to the breed and can demonstrate that they can train him and offer him the guidance he needs.
Junior hasn't been around kids much. He would be best with older children of a teenage age due to his size.
He is chipped and eats meat pouches and biscuits.
Junior is use to being left on his own for any length of time and is great meeting new people.
He hasn't met any cats.
Junior is okay on the lead but will need training with this. He is also registered at the vets and loves playing with toys.
He is walked around 3 times a day and likes to go to the park.
For any information please email [email protected]

Shortly after the people that rescued her asked if we could help.
Chispa is absolutely adorable, sociable, sweet and did I say adorable? ๐
Come on, letโs get this older lady a home .. plz share ๐๐ปโค๏ธ
Before & Afterโฆ
If anyone doubts the power of community action over the @EnvAgencyโs spineless inertia, you can walk to the outskirts of Ilford & walk along an ancient lost river to see for yourself.
With 10 days of intense effort by dedicated volunteers, the river River Roding Trust managed to clean up & restore 250 metres of the Aldersbrook (about 1/3 of the brook). This allows a direct comparison between the parts of the brook we restored & those we havenโt got round to yet.
These photos & videos are all from May 2026. The first is on a part of the Aldersbrook still to be restored & shows the old flood defences which are no longer needed & are killing the river but which the EA wonโt remove unless we volunteers pay them ยฃ50,000 just for surveys. These defences have caused 2-3ft of stinking sludge & silt to build up over 70 years, such that the water in the brook is just a few centimetres deep. Combine with huge amounts of rubbish & and out of control knotweed infestation & the river ecosystem is essentially dead. A river that is older than England destroyed by official indifference.
A hundred metres away, and itโs a different story. The rubbish & the invasive species (I sprayed the knotweed myself last autumn) are gone. The silt that used to clog the river is now spread on the banks & rapidly providing fertile ground for native plants. Instead of sludge, thereโs 2-3ft of water, so fish have returned to the brook for the first time in decades, along with dragon flies, herons & a nesting moorhen. We river guardians knew our intervention would make a difference, but have been shocked at quite how quickly nature has come back. The restored Aldersbrook is now a rare jewel: pretty much the last fully natural tidal brook in London.
The EA now has a choice. It can salvage some good from this situation & work with us to restore the remaining sections of the brook, or it can continue to do nothing. If the latter, river guardians *will* be back this winter to finish the job & the EA can see how well prosecuting volunteers for restoring a river without permission goes for them.
Remember those horrific pictures of Jews liberated from Auschwitz?
This isn't one.
This is a Palestinian man released after 26 months of Israeli "administrative detention." No charge. No trial. No legal rights.
"Never again" sounds noble. It just turns out it was never meant to apply to everyone.
The Israeli government currently holds roughly 3,500 Palestinians under this system, and has issued more than 100,000 such detention orders since 1967.
October 7th wasn't the start of this. It was a reaction to it.
Why don't we hear anything about this?
This isnโt a toy.
Itโs a cluster bomb.
Israel is dropping cluster bombs shaped like small footballs across South Lebanon โ designed to attract children before they tear them apart.
This is a war crime.
And yet, not a peep from the complicit international community, of course.

WILLIE MCRAE LAST WORDS WERE I'M GOING TO GET THEM
In April 1985, a Scottish lawyer named Willie McRae left Glasgow on a Friday evening heading to his holiday cottage. He never arrived.
He was found unconscious in his crashed car on a remote Highland road with a bullet in his head.
Police ruled it suicide. Case was closed.
One problem. The gun was found outside the car, several yards away. McRae was still inside, seatbelt on, doors jammed shut.
The officer who last spoke to McRae said he was being watched by MI5 and Special Branch.
McRae had patted his briefcase and said he had information and was going to get them.
When that officer later requested his own witness statement under Freedom of Information, he found it had been replaced with a forgery...
Every mention of surveillance, MI5, and the briefcase had been deleted.
There had been a fire at McRae's office the day before. A witness saw a man running from the building carrying a briefcase.
This was not a random lawyer. McRae had just humiliated the British nuclear industry at a public inquiry, blocking plans to dump nuclear waste across the UK.
He was also reportedly investigating a Westminster paedophile ring.
40 years later there has still never been a Fatal Accident Inquiry.
The post-mortem report has never been made public. Over 13,000 people signed a petition demanding answers.
The official position of the British state is that a man who embarrassed the establishment, knew dangerous secrets, and had just told a police officer he was going to get them, then shot himself ... after which the gun walked out of the locked car on its own.

She found herself in council pound kennels that give the dogs the legal 7 days only. She is in a mess. She is very lame and has a large boney lump on the inside of her hind leg. She is underweight and was covered in fleas!
She has undoubtedly been badly treated and is frightened of touch until she knows she will not be hurt.
She is just a sweetheart and we have kennelled her with another 2 lurchers who are helping to give her confidence.
We need to get her lameness investigated firstly and will update once we have a few answers.
If anyone would like to help towards her costs our details are below and thank you

Please retweet ... ZEUS UPDATE ๐พ
Firstly, and most importantly...
โค๏ธ ZEUS IS SAFE. โค๏ธ
Following last night's urgent appeal, Zeus has secured a rescue space and has been placed in emergency boarding kennels until they have space in a couple of weeks.
We would like to thank everyone who shared his appeal, offered support, or simply showed kindness. Your help is what made it possible for this young boy to be safe today.
However, we do need to address some of the nasty comments and messages we received following our urgent appeal.
Sadly, many people do not understand the reality facing rescue dogs in this country right now. Every day, healthy, rehomable dogs are losing their lives because there simply are not enough suitable homes available. It is a heartbreaking reality that nobody involved in rescue wants to see.
When urgent appeals like Zeus's are posted, they are not designed to upset people or generate outrage. They are posted because a dog genuinely needs help and time has run out.
Please do not direct anger towards rescues, pounds or us. These are the very people working tirelessly behind the scenes to save as many dogs as possible. We are volunteers doing everything we can, often at huge personal and financial cost, to get dogs to safety.
The reality is that by the time dogs like Zeus enter the pound system, everyone involved is simply trying to save a life.
We have also seen comments suggesting that dogs should simply be released directly to members of the public. Unfortunately, it isn't that simple.
Dogs leaving the pound are unassessed, unknown dogs. We often know very little about their background, how they are in a home environment, whether they can live with children, cats, or other dogs, or how they will cope outside of kennels.
Releasing dogs directly to the public without the support and safeguards that rescue provides would be irresponsible and could put both dogs and people at risk which is why the pounds will only release once a rescue space is found.
The reason rescues are needed is because they provide that safety net. They assess dogs properly, provide backup if placements fail, offer support where needed, and work hard to ensure dogs are matched to suitable homes.
It is also not as easy as accepting every offer of rescue space that comes along. Sadly, not all rescues operate to the same standards. Our responsibility is not simply to get dogs out of the pound. Our responsibility is to ensure they are going somewhere safe, reputable, and capable of meeting their needs.
We know that sometimes this can make us appear fussy, but we make no apology for that. These dogs deserve more than being moved from one uncertain situation to another.
We've all seen cases where dogs have been removed from one difficult situation only to end up warehoused in boarding kennels for months or even years. That is not the future we want for any dog we help.
Our goal is not just to save lives today. Our goal is to secure the right future for these dogs, however much work that takes.
If you genuinely want to help Zeus and dogs like him, we would be incredibly grateful for any donation towards his emergency boarding costs, transport runs, and the ongoing work involved in getting vulnerable dogs to safety. Some of our dogs travel hundreds of miles to reach suitable rescue spaces, foster homes, or forever homes. We will do whatever it takes to give them a chance.
Before commenting on posts like these, please take a moment to understand the situation rescuers are facing every single day. Attacking the people trying to help does nothing to save dogs. Education, responsible breeding, responsible ownership, fostering, adopting, and supporting rescue work are what make the difference.
For now, Zeus is safe, warm, and has been given the chance he so desperately needed.
Thank you to everyone who stood behind him. ๐พโค๏ธ

Thanks for all of the retweets, a quick share can save a life!! ๐ถ๐กโค๏ธ๐๏ธ
Dartmoor's hill ponies have grazed those commons for longer than there has been a country called England. Fewer than a thousand are left, down from six thousand a generation ago. The United Nations listed them as endangered in 2023. So, naturally, the body charged with protecting nature has decided to get rid of nine in ten of the survivors.
There is a process, obviously.
Natural England's new grazing contracts now count the ponies in the same bucket as the cattle and sheep. A commoner with a fixed quota has a choice: keep a semi-wild pony worth nothing at market, or use the slot for a lamb he can sell. Guess which one survives the spreadsheet. The rest are gathered in the autumn drifts, and with nowhere to put thousands of unhandled moorland ponies, the next stop is the abattoir.
Natural England would like it noted that it has not ordered a cull. It has merely built a machine whose only output is a cull, switched it on, and handed the bolt gun to a farmer so the fingerprints land elsewhere. Very tidy.
And now the funny part. The pony is the best tool on the entire moor for eating Molinia, the coarse purple grass strangling Dartmoor into a brown monoculture. Cattle and sheep won't touch it. The ponies hoover it down and clear the ground for the orchids, the wildflowers and the insects behind them. Remove the ponies and the moor chokes into precisely the lifeless scrubland the contract was meant to prevent.
So the conservation strategy, in full: protect the habitat by deleting the animal that maintains the habitat. A masterclass.
Better still, Natural England's own Fursdon review looked at this exact question and told them, in plain English, not to lump ponies in with cattle and not to cut pony numbers. They read it, praised it, said they fully supported it, then did the precise opposite.
Four thousand years these animals have run Dartmoor with no committee and no contract. They could be gone within one, and the people who did it will write it up as a win for nature.
