@DavidJFoord@implausibleblog They are carefully selected. Nothing random about anybody in the audience. The BBC is so blinded by ensuring that everything is carefully orchestrated and manipulated, so nothing can go wrong. The questionnaire to participate is past DEI and correctness, it is staggering!!
A truly intelligent species wouldn’t poison its own drinking water, strip away its topsoil, drive wildlife populations into decline, and create chronic illness through the very food system it depends on.
Gone are the Ox-eye Daisies & Buttercups.
From 'No Mow May' to 'Mow Mow June'.... the same roadside verges got mowed today. I wonder what you think? Pretty much zero pollen & nectar, no 'slowing the flow', no significant biodiversity benefit. Also it doesn't look great either...
Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.
I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.
Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.
I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"
You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.
Natural England wants to remove 90% of Dartmoor’s ponies.
Our Exmoor ponies are next. These animals have been here for thousands of years.
A government quango, destroying the countryside and its heritage.
The reason we think dandelions are weeds is because of a 1950s marketing campaign.
Dandelions, native to Europe and Asia, were brought to North America in the 1600s by European colonists who grew them deliberately.
Every part is edible. The leaves are a salad green, the flowers were made into wine, and the roots were roasted as a coffee substitute and used medicinally for liver and kidney conditions for thousands of years. They were a kitchen-garden staple well into the 1800s.
The shift happened after World War II, when 2,4-D (originally developed for chemical warfare research) was approved as a residential herbicide. Companies like Scotts built the modern lawn-care industry around the idea that a perfect green lawn meant zero broadleaf plants.
Dandelions, being bright yellow and resistant to mowing, became a visible enemy, and the campaign worked. By the 1970s, "dandelion-free" was synonymous with "well-kept."
They aren't native, but they aren't doing significant ecological harm either. The herbicides used to kill them, on the other hand, kill bees, contaminate groundwater, and have been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in humans.
If you hate dandelions, it's most likely due to a marketing campaign that ran before you were born.
What appears as a brief experience for us often reflects a lifetime of control for them. Elephants used for rides are frequently taken from natural environments and trained to comply through methods that prioritise obedience over welfare.
These practices continue because they are normalised within tourism. Choosing not to participate is one of the most direct ways to reduce demand and support a more ethical approach to wildlife.

@DianaLyddo67405@domdyer70 Yes, agreed! Time to ban pesticides everywhere. We need to go back to using tools that respect biodiversity, nature, creating natural spaces and stop obsessing over “clean, sanitised” lawns, paved over gardens and artificial lawns!!!
@domdyer70 The truth is, if any Council cared, they would do way more to conserve and protect! Verges are being endlessly mowed and sprayed with pesticides. If you have to wear a hazmat suit, what do you think you are spraying and killing? If it is toxic to the human, I rest my case…
The River Wye has just made UK history.
For the first time, an entire river catchment has been formally recognised as a living ecosystem with rights - including the right to flow, thrive, regenerate, and be free from pollution.
It's a major victory for nature.
@philip_ciwf I get tradition and culture but this slaughter is over the top, the Faroe Islands should be sanctioned on as much and as long as it takes to get them to seriously curtail or stop this abomination.
Breaking: More than 700 dolphins killed in one day of Faroe Islands hunts amid equipment failures, chaotic scenes & arrest of conservation observers!
Wicked beyond belief and utterly heartbreaking
Complete blood thirsty devastation of a gentle species all in the name of tradition

@jomickane@NHPUKSouthEast This happend to my car last week. Car totally written off, police called but because there wasn’t any injuries they won’t get involved.
Tell me again why do we pay council tax?
@NilesRodley@Hourglassoflife@rushicrypto All it proves is that your level of education is so low and abysmal that you seriously believe, this is something to be shouting about. How incredibly embarrassing and what a sad person you really are…
