@nigelmp @danielmgmoylan Only an hour’s wait? It took 3 hours to get through Berlin airport. When we got to a real person, the only comment from them was “When are you leaving Germany?” Nothing like a warm welcome, eh?

@DrEenfeldt This is such good news. 😊

A reasonable audit of what the British farmer is actually doing, measured against what he is currently being accused of.

What he is doing:

- Up at 5am. Earlier in lambing. Finished at 9pm last night. Doesn't consider this notable.
- Producing 60% of the food eaten in the UK.
- On a land area smaller than Oregon.
- Maintaining 400,000 miles of hedgerow.
- Several hundred thousand miles of stone wall.
- The entire drainage infrastructure of the lowlands.
- Every postcard the country has ever printed.
- Sequestering carbon into the soil beneath his livestock at rates that offset a significant fraction of his sector's emissions. Not widely discussed.
- Feeding, clothing and tanning a population that has mostly forgotten where any of this comes from.
- Lambing in March at his own expense.
- Calving in April on no sleep.
- Silage in June on three hours a night.
- Harvest in August.
- Ploughing in October.
- Feeding stock through January in conditions any urban professional would call a humanitarian emergency.
- Watching his son decide whether to take over the farm, knowing what the answer is likely to be.
- Earning less per hour than the barista who served the coffee to the journalist writing the article about him.

What he is not doing:

- Destroying the ozone layer. Hasn't been near it.
- Flying almonds in from California.
- Clearing the Amazon.
- Running a data centre.
- Operating a private jet.
- Producing microplastics.
- Failing to recycle his packaging. He hasn't got any.
- Causing the climate crisis. The climate crisis is two hundred years of industrial activity he wasn't around for.
- Lobbying Parliament. Can't afford it. He's in a field.
- Complaining about any of this. He hasn't got the time.

The audit concludes.

The defendant is out feeding the cattle.

He'll be back for supper if the tractor holds up.

🔴DON’T LOOK AWAY

The Islamic regime is going to hang Diana Taherabadi because she participated in the January protests.

She’s only 16.
This is pure barbarism.
Share this before they kill her.

As a GP and MSP, I believe that the assisted dying bill offers a safe, compassionate choice for those whose pain cannot be relieved. My article in @heraldscotland explains why. https://t.co/VFkZOtCIBi

From Iran

"I barely managed to get connected somehow. I don't know how long I'll actually stay connected. Please make this public / share it with the media.

The situation in Rasht is extremely security-heavy and dangerous right now. There are still masked and face-covered forces with guns out on the streets these days. In recent days, they've shot several people just because they were holding a box of sweets ( because of khamenei's death)

One person even bought a balloon for his little son, and because of that, he ended up in an alley surrounded by several masked motorcyclists and got shot—he's now hospitalized. One of our acquaintances works at a hospital and says they still bring in new gunshot victims to the hospitals in Rasht every once in a while.

For God's sake, be the voice of the people of Rasht. The forces here are extremely hardline and terrifying, they won't leave people alone."

Now over 71,000 signatures!
It feels especially poignant today. This was Nathaniel’s petition, one I took on after he passed last month.
Today was his funeral, and I know he would be incredibly proud.
Thank you to everyone who has signed and shared. Please keep going!

Extenuating circumstances. Normal service to resume soon. Despite all still doing stand up, even this weekend. While students in Iran say “our classrooms are empty because the graveyards are full” and few speaking out feels appropriate to keep sharing. Appreciate it ⬇️

[Tehran Bureau @TehranBureau]

From trusted source in Tehran: Tell all of your friends [abroad], everyone you know: there is absolutely nothing else we can do here inside Iran. Nothing. They are killing people in such ways, they’ve descended upon people so brutally, they're attacking us in such ways... We’ve lost so many lives that no one dares go out anymore. They shoot directly with bullets. They kill outright. And even after killing, they come and behead you, and do countless other violent things to you.

For God’s sake, whatever can be done, you are the ones who can do it. You must not abandon these gatherings. All of you must keep these protests going. We cannot do anything inside Iran. Going out into the streets is literally suicide. It’s not about bravery anymore. It’s madness. You go out and they shoot you point blank. They don’t even ask why you came. They just kill you.

There is absolutely no way for us to gather unless we had weapons, unless we were armed like them. Otherwise they have weapons everywhere. There has been so much killing. So much.

So whatever is to happen now is up to you. You are the ones who can somehow save us. [Breaks down into a sob. Crying, the caller continues...] When you see what’s happening, when you hear what’s happening… I’ve done so much yelling and choked on so much teargas, my voice is bad.

We follow what you're doing. When we see you gather in protest in front of an embassy it brings us joy. It still gives us a lingering hope that we can do something. It's your responsibility now. We did absolutely everything we could. As our fellow Iranians it's your responsibility. You can influence foreign policy. You can tell the world what's happening. The placards you hold. The YouTube videos. Distributing images and video. Gathering in front of embassies. Even if you have just the weekends. Please do something for us on Saturdays and Sundays. Please don't let your gatherings get smaller as the weeks go on. No one will stop you there. No one will kill you. No one is singling you out. We don't even have the freedom to walk about in our own town. We no longer even know who is friend or foe.

We don’t even know who we’re speaking to anymore. We no longer know if those recounting what's happening is an enemy. Because if one wrong word slips from our mouths, they turn us into a corpse even before we've had a chance to return home.

For God’s sake, I beg of you, don’t abandon these gatherings. Our only hope now is you. What’s now obvious is that America won’t do anything. You’re our only hope. Please tell your friends. You’ve seen how many young people have been killed. So many, so many young people. For the sake of the youth.

I know that based on the videos that have reached Iran International [satellite station] since yesterday, now that the internet has come back briefly, they will probably cut the internet again and people will go into silence, the country will go back into a blackout.

For God’s sake, please help us. Help us save our country from these people. Stand together so we can live in a flourishing country. For God’s sake, help us.

We are in Tehran. What I saw in Tehran, and what they’re saying about the provinces and small towns... They couldn’t fully control Tehran’s gatherings with the forces they had, but in the small towns it was killing after killing. Towns with populations of only 20 or 30 thousand people truly had many deaths. Thousands, hundreds…

The things we’ve heard, the things we’ve seen go far beyond mass killing. It was horrific. Truly horrific.

I beg you. I beg you. Don’t abandon these gatherings. Please. #Iran #IranMassacre
