What are we gonna do when we’ve “sorted our borders“, the vilified immigrants are gone, but the country’s still a bit shit!!!

In fact just checked - 11 out of 12 of the last automatically selected meals have been beef mince based!!
My poor colon!!

@HelloFreshUK
Sometimes in the busy world we inhabit, we don’t have time to check and select weekly meals. Therefore some of us rely upon auto-allocated meals. For the last 2 weeks every single meal (2x3) has been beef mince based! Bit much 🤷

WELCOME TO THE #lakedistrict folks! 😢 From the shores of where Wordsworth walked and wrote his famous daffodils poem, to the public park in Keswick and even the summit of Blencathra. “Fly camping”, litter, fires and other irresponsible behaviour inc from “wild campers”!! #litter

A good friend of mine has GIVEN UP on looking after a remote bothy.

Folk turning up with portable leccy chainsaws to cut down both young and old trees for fires 🤯🤯😢

It’s the same by the shores of Ullswater and beyond in Lakeland 💔😢😢

I’d DEARLY LOVE to know how the @lakedistrictnpa plus @cumbriatourism and @WandFCouncil are dealing with this damage to a beautiful @UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Ole @CumberlandCoun are trying their best. But myself and many other locals see naff all happening!

It’s not even the summer holidays yet! 🤯🤯

Overtourism is a serious problem but so is irresponsible and inconsiderate behaviour to both communities and #nature!!

Honestly! I’d dearly love to know what strategies and counter measures by all authorities are being undertaken for a previous national park.

I’m dumbfounded this is happening but always saw it coming as many others have.

It’s about time there was a quick reaction to this by those in power locally and authority before it becomes a much worse problem.

And some folk in such positions need to give their head a good wobble too and ignore the lure of money and think of a bigger picture strategy to help nature and local communities (the ones that exist at least thanks to AirBnBs, holiday lets and second homes).

@mancunianmedic Only 18% per year?

I’d suggest that rise is somewhat rate-limited by the capacity of CAMHS services that are on their knees nationally.

[Sir Michael Take CBE @MichaelTakeMP]

Today we are having a fundraising day in the village to raise money for Alexander Armstrong. This popular & much loved millionaire TV presenter has gone from ‘Pointless’ to Poundless.
See what I did there?
This man truly is a modern day Zelensky
A sort of poor Michael Fabricant😔

Stephen Fry, "The bullies have risen to the top"

"I call it fascism because that's what it is"

"It's a cult of power, and a cult of warrior worship, and a total contempt for the old world order"

"You have to remember the psychology of the bully at school"

"Bullies feast on the fears that they cause"

"Look at who Trump admires.. Putin's Russia.. Places moving towards fascism, nationalism, and they don't listen to people like Starmer"

"Starmer will be called a nice guy by Trump until he says something which expresses his support for Ukraine, something which he has to do, and then he'll be slapped down and Trump will say: I thought he was nasty"

"It's bullying, it's fascism, and we have to realign ourselves in recognition that this is no longer the proper world"

[Jon McViety @Jon_McV]

Is Trump…..

@JonathanPieNews Suddenly I’m a lot less bothered by global warming and that big asteroid.
The imminent threat to civilisation appears to be this crazed megalomaniac. 😱

[Jon McViety @Jon_McV]

@JonathanPieNews Ambushed and mauled by a pack of hounds!!
If this is the atrocious behaviour of “the leader of the free world”, then the free world is f*cked!!
