I’ve been investigating the russian refinery for days now and the story gets darker and darker. The shipments are sent to Siberia, smelted, and sold to the russian company ‘ASK’. This company distributes aluminium directly to Russia’s missile & drone manufacturers.
“I don’t give a shit what your system is, what does it mean for the river?”
I genuinely never thought I would have to challenge the British state in order to protect the river I love, but here we are. Massive thanks to Channel 4 for spending so much time & care in detailing the incredible work done by volunteer river guardians on the River Roding: I am going to use the description of us descending on litter like a “squadron of community-minded locusts” again!
Whilst I no longer shocked at the indifference of public bodies like the EA & local councils to the desperate plight of our rivers, it has genuinely surprised me that @EnvAgency thinks it is a good use of their powers to prosecute volunteers for doing their job for them by restoring rivers, especially when there are serious illegal sewage discharges nearby that they have done nothing about. Please withdraw your prosecution threats EA & work with us instead. The Roding could genuinely be a test case in how government & river guardians can work together to protect & restore our rivers.

Why is Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon breaking his promise to make London’s rivers swimmable?
One of the most eye-catching promises the Mayor made to get elected, was to make London’s rivers swimmable. But halfway through his term he has made no progress towards this goal, & seems to be quietly dropping this goal on the basis that it isn’t achievable.
However, as a guardian of London’s third biggest river, who knows the river better than most, I know it is a completely achievable goal with effort & imagination. Further, the volunteer charity I run put forward a detailed plan to make the Roding swimmable, which was rejected by the Mayor’s Grow Back Greener fund without explanation. Here’s a thread, on how the Mayor can live up to his promises 🧵
Every sign at this refinery in Ireland is in russian. The official website is a .RU domain.
There’s no reason to hide it because local politicians are openly doing it for them.
@GunkleMike @GarethDeanPR@NOELreports I think a CSAR mission for a rumoured downed F15 is far more likely.
I cannot see aerial refuelling low over enemy territory with functioning SHORAD assets being carried out in anything other than a no choice, dire emergency. Not a pre-planned mission.
@GarethDeanPR@SuzieWo20886208 Why are you are blocking people for pointing out that what you said was factually incorrect.
Why not just delete the tweet and take it as a lesson learned?
Matt Goodwin the GBN presenter standing for Reform UK in the Gorton and Denton byelection, says he wants his “country back”. But @GoodLawProject can reveal that he received a salary of up to €10,000 a month from a far-right pressure group based in Hungary

@elonmusk@WallStreetApes His statement was riddled with massive factual inaccuracies and he is a tax avoider living in a tax haven, whilst taking huge UK government handouts for his companies.
