@reece_dinsdale Would love to see you down here in Hereford or Malvern!

[Ian Donnelly @IanDtheActor]

@reece_dinsdale I’m constantly engaging with BOTH of my followers, so I’m giving you a run for your money, Reece! 😁

This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby @denbypottery

@LFC Very special to me. The very first match at Anfield for me was Gerry Byrne’s testimonial.

@LFCTransferRoom @Soccernews_nl @LFC I’ll pay his taxi fare…

@Nick___Collins “We’ve won more Premier Leagues than Liverpool” 🤣 because of course, Football was only invented in 1992. I don’t know who this guy is, but he’s Sooo desperate. 🤣

@reece_dinsdale He needs to get off the fence and say what he thinks…. 🤪

[Ian Donnelly @IanDtheActor]

@BuyEnglishMade Wye Valley. Superb.

[Ian Donnelly @IanDtheActor]

@PeterStefanovi2 The ‘heatwave’ are not the root of the problem. It is the years of underinvestment by the WC’s while the foreign shareholders extract huge dividends every year while getting into greater debt. They dump sh*t into our rivers and expect us, the customers to foot the bill! 😡

[Ian Donnelly @IanDtheActor]

@reece_dinsdale Terrific news! It’s been 10 years since I was on the cobbles, I will have to try and get back on them, this time with you at the helm! 🙂

[Ian Donnelly @IanDtheActor]

@Jan_Leeming Ah - we don’t get to the studios on CotS until Late summer 76. Glad to get out of the heat on location to be honest!!

[Ian Donnelly @IanDtheActor]

@Jan_Leeming We probably crossed paths at the studios on Bath Road in 1976/77 when I was filming ‘Children of the stones’ and ‘Follow Me’ - Happy memories of Bristol! 🙂

My river.

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

An historic day, as the River Wye becomes the first river in the UK to have its rights recognised by local authorities across its catchment.

Hundreds of people gathered on the banks of the river to watch as representatives from Monmouthshire, Forest of Dean & Powys Councils, Herefordshire County Council, the Wye Valley National Landscape & Bannau Brycheiniog National Park signed the pledge recognising the rivers rights and then spoke about why they had done so what it would mean for the relationship of their organisation to the river. It went beyond legal formalities into something of a service of thanks & honour to the river, with poetry, a choir singing songs, & offerings to the river.

It has been a real honour to witness & be part of the surging movement towards river rights & guardianship on the Wye. Four years ago I met & advised Herefordshire Councillor Elissa Swinglehurst, who wanted to put a voice of the river on the Wye Nutrient Management Board. A year ago I sat around a fire on the banks of the river with other Wye guardians & Earth lawyers as the idea of a charter was first mooted. To see it become a reality, & supported by 6 public bodies, in just a year is astonishing.

Now, of course, comes the hard work of making those rights a reality. But given the hundreds of active river guardians, & increasing public pressure to protect & restore the river, if it can be done on any river, it will be done on the Wye.

@JaninePipe28 For my films I sometimes like startibg with a very quick ‘out of context’ clip of a pre- climactic scene then reverting to ‘how did we get here? Where did the journey start’ - is that the sort of thing you are talking about?

[Ian Donnelly @IanDtheActor]

@HuntSabs So, just confirm, do these psychopaths actually brazenly hunt otters in the UK, a protected species? 😡

[Ian Donnelly @IanDtheActor]

@domdyer70 Hasn’t done me any harm - I’ve been more happier, contented fitter and a better person since going veg.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.

When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.

They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.

In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.

The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.

We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

@Neduszn8 Fucking hell, I guess you’re all too young to remember Ray Kennedy?

@writethewrongs2 Wild Lynx all day long. Look at that face!

[Ian Donnelly @IanDtheActor]

The fucking ‘data and other evidence’???? THE DATA????? … I despair

[Anfield Edition | æ @AnfieldEdition]

🥇 | @MiguelDelaney: Liverpool have not got in contact with Xabi Alonso because, from both the data and other evidence, they believe Arne Slot is still a better manager for them.
