@CatharineHoey @YvetteCooperMP Dear me Ms Hoey. It is obvious and entirely normal for these two unrelated things to be true, as you know. So is this tweet trying to stoke up hate? I think so...

@navaratnampart1 Heartbreaking indeed. Stay safe and remember they do not represent the vast majority, who value you and your contribution.

@greenleejw And strangely his name lives on in one of the most serious threats to eels, the nematode parasite Anguillicola crassus. Found in the swimbladder, it can cause significant damage and may prevent migration of the infected eel.

@Blacky_Himself @Feargal_Sharkey Division is a big part of 'our' problem. People on the same side attacking each other just makes the people causing the problem smile and rub their hands.
