@TalkTalk I have been trying to contact you to cancel my installation for today but cannot get through to speak to anyone why do you make it so difficult

My 81 year old dad received notice from his landlady. He hasn't done anything wrong, pays his rent, has been there for years, & is close with his neighbours.

She wanted to sell the place.

OK. Fair enough. That's property ownership and she has no obligation to consider the age of my father, his health, his connection to his small community.

So my rather amazing nephew offered to buy it. He's worked damn hard to be in a position to be able to, with a help scheme from work, and he convinced Dad it was not charity as it would be his first investment.

Landlady gets a valuation, nephew gets a valuation. They both say the same, and it is within nephew's budget. Brilliant!

"I want £50,000 more than that", says the landlady.

Nephew refuses, a 3rd valuation is arranged. They agree with the first 2.

"I'm not selling anymore", says the landlady, "But the old man still needs to get out".

The place is serviceable for Dad because he does not have most people's demands, he's not greedy. You can't fit more than a single bed in the one bedroom, the bathroom is absolutely teeny-tiny, the kitchen has no hob, no oven, Dad had to bring his own shelving unit for his food. It is not of a standard that most people want these days, but Dad loves it.

It is his home.

She could have the fair amount in her bank right now, and Dad could have a secure place he loves to live out his twilight years, but she'd rather evict an OAP on the off chance she can then squeeze more money out of the property than it is worth.

Greed is the scourge of our species.

Sticking metal tubes deep into the delicate gullets of geese and ducks to force feed them until their liver explodes… then charge a high price for people to eat that diseased liver. Mad, cruel and utterly inexcusable. I won’t eat in a restaurant that serves it.

It's #WorldAnimalDay. Take this day to reflect upon our problematic relationship w/ animals.

Like how we express love and consideration for some (cats, dogs), yet put others (chickens, fish, pigs, cows) through hell on earth.

Celebrate World Animal Day by changing this dynamic.

55,000 sows & piglets have been caught in an #horrific fire
The fire was so fierce that pigs literally fused into the plastic of their enclosures
If it had been dogs & puppies, it would be world news and an uproar
Someone must be held to account

“To love animals is not simply to admire their beauty; it is to shrink our footprint so we can live in harmony with them.
We should not just ask what animals can do for us; we should ask what we can do for animals”

The Mistakes That Will Haunt Our Legacy
“I believe that one will be our cruelty to animals. Modern society relies on factory farming to produce protein that is inexpensive and abundant. But it causes suffering to animals on an incalculable scale”
