Interesting, or not, that just when I switch web browser from y'all-know'who, for the first time I'm being kept out of my Dropbox account by a phenomenal series of scarcely legible puzzles which even when I get them right require me to do them again: councidence or ... ?

@DrAseemMalhotra I emailed Alastair expressing my concern that he had ignored your pwerful testimonies, quite apart from all the other evidence.

75 years ago Aldo Leopold wrote in ‘A Sand County Almanac’ “One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. … “ Consider ‘our’ land, water, seas, air, nature: we try to be positive but they’re not looking good are they?

In the country with more conservation scientists per head of population, a new analysis suggests that nature degradation could cause a 12% loss to UK GDP, more than the 2008 financial crisis or the Covid-19 plandemic https://t.co/rsJgk5ptsU

When you sell the family silver to a bunch of people interested only in the bottom line and mostly living elsewhere, look what you get: an ecological disaster of criminal proportions

@EnvConsJournal When you sell the water to a bunch of people interested only in the bottom line and mostly living elsewhere, look what you get: an ecological disaster of criminal proportions. Can this bit of family silver be returned? We shall see!

Worrying pressure about the new WHO pandemic treaty from the 'leading' 'scientific' journal Nature, like the fabricated emergency status of Covid-19 and the fear campaign to dose people with things that were not effective and were in fact unsafe https://t.co/9IzJWcLebp

GDP growth should not be the aim but its loss through nature degradation? In the UK this degradation could have greater impact than the ‘pandemic’ or the 2008 financial crisis: a 12% loss to UK GDP according to a recent analysis https://t.co/rsJgk5ptsU

@ABridgen Andrew you are doing an OUTSTANDING job keeping your constituents and the wider population in the know. I am more and more disgusted by these revelations

[Nick Polunin @PoluninNick]

@ABridgen I admire your tenacity, Andrew, and, by the grace of whoever, it looks like we are increasingly reliant on it for our future health and wellbeing. Thank you so much for your persistence.

@NeilMurphy1978 Those who live and work in Jesmond but are for the LTN excluded? Doesn't sound conducive to 'One Jesmond'

Privatising the water industry then allowing it to pollute the UK's waterways on a massive scale is unacceptable; the industry needs to return to public ownership https://t.co/VmogZgo2sa via @UKChange

@Jesmonder Grosvenor residents have been lucky to experience the traffic chaos for the last month; on Osborne Avenue it’s been borne for 120 times as long!

@Jesmonder @LoveJesmond @DavidJWhetstone @bbcnewcastle @netrafficnews @NeilMurphy1978 @SPACEforJesmond @NewcastleCC @ManorHouseRoad @carltonreid @JesmondStella Traffic or snow do you think?

[Nick Polunin @PoluninNick]

@write2al @Jesmonder @ChronicleLive @BBCNEandCumbria You are referring presumably to Shortridge, Osborne, Buston etc until a few days ago?
