The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.

They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.

Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.

Reform UK sold Robert Kenyon as the authentic ‘local plumber’ born and bred in Makerfield.

Turns out he’s a Haydock lad from Merseyside who went to school in St Helens North and was registered to vote there until 2014.

Neighbours calling out the fake ‘Mr Makerfield’ cosplay. These guys lie so easily it’s embarrassing.

What are they desperately hiding? The mask slips every single time.

So bored of news outlets trying to write the news rather than report it.

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.

Let's be clear about what the Ruminati are, because the name was chosen for us by a newsletter that meant it as a criticism and we kept it.

Gerald is a bull. He eats grass on land that has been permanent pasture since 1763. The grass converts sunlight and rain into protein. Gerald converts the grass into beef, manure, and seven wildflower species in a south corner that had none of them before he arrived. His methane is the carbon that was in the grass two weeks ago and will be back in the grass in twelve years. This has been the arrangement for the entirety of cattle domestication and the net carbon position of British permanent pasture over that period is: improving.

Doris is a ewe. She eats fell grass that grows on land too steep, too thin, too wet, and too acidic for any crop ever suggested by anyone who has actually looked at it. She maintains the open sward structure that forty-seven plant communities and three red-listed bird species depend on. Without her, the fell becomes purple moor grass. It has been tested. There is a control fell. The control fell has been ungrazed since 2004. The control fell has purple moor grass and no skylarks.

Keith is a goat. He eats the things Gerald and Doris won't touch: bramble, knotweed, dock, thistle, rush, ivy stems, and whatever is happening in Steve's garden. His rumen handles tannins and oxalates that would damage a dog's liver. He converts material that would otherwise advance unchecked across the British countryside into cheese, manure, and a net outcome column that has been positive on every row since entry seventeen.

They are not destroying the planet.

They are the planet.

This distinction has been available in every field in Britain since before the policy documents existed.

Nobody thought to look in the fields.

The fields are still there.

Over 400 women have been arrested since they overturned Roe v Wade— yet not a SINGLE man has been arrested for raping children with Epstein.

[Autism care and share @autcareandshare]

I've done talks on autism at schools and often get asked questions afterwards by the parents,very often the questions around their suspicions that they too maybe autistic, the mum will often ask me directly, the dad will often wait until im on my own or im sat outside in my car and he bangs the window, then starts to talk about how he thinks he might be autistic, theres no right or wrong way to ask, I myself while open here am very very private when talking to extended family, I have brothers and sisters that I haven't told , we do what works for us. This is a very personal very hard thing to share and not everyone understands, if you do see me in a car park and you want to ask, please do, but not so hard on the window please, you scared the crap out of me lol.

This exchange just happened on the Senate floor.
Cornyn: “I don’t understand how the SAVE Act disenfranchises voters.”

Durbin: “Happy to explain. Driver’s licenses don’t qualify under the bill. 50% of Americans don’t have passports.”
Cornyn: “Why not just amend it?”

Durbin: “When’s the last time the Senate actually amended a bill?”

Silence.

The SAVE Act requires passport-level documentation to register to vote.

50% of Americans don’t have a passport.

The people least likely to have passports: the elderly, the poor, rural Americans, young first-time voters.

The people most likely to have passports: wealthy Americans.

This is not voter protection.

This is voter selection.

And when a senator suggested fixing it — his own colleague couldn’t name the last time the Senate amended anything.

That’s the Senate in 2026.

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

Listen up Fuckface: Not only are you the worst president in American history, you’re easily the dumbest. And to top it all off you’re a convicted felon, a war criminal, a pedophile and the most most eagerly anticipated obituary on the planet.

Yes, this is based on a real 2024 event. Pakistani imam Zulfiqar Khan (54, Bologna mosque) preached that Muslims must fight infidels or face "catastrophic consequences" and backed Hamas as "resistance." Italy's interior ministry (under Meloni's government) deported him for national security after ~30 years in the country. The "next day personally by Meloni" is dramatized—the minister issued the decree quickly after the sermon surfaced. No matching 2026 case.
