I absolutely loved Spurn Head. What I didn't love was the state of the beach. All from fishing.
Because of this I find it very hard to eat fish (apart from fish I catch myself).
Fishing needs to clean up its act. It is killing the thing it depends on.

I am often asked what happened after #Maiden and for years I lied. But now I hope the truth helps others. I had a complete breakdown. It was only then that I learned that pretending to be strong is no substitute to asking for help. #WorldMentalHealthDay@maidenfactor
Imagine Paris, but even better. Imagine a global model of “hyper-local” city building, championing the “15 Minute City” with cycle-lanes on every street by 2024, 60,000 on-street parking spaces transformed, etc. Via @WEF kudos @Anne_Hidalgo@CarlosMorenoFr
I'm in France. It's hot. People are chilled. There are bike lanes everywhere and electric charging points. The food is great. Municipal campsites are great. Municipal pride is high.
I am furious that we have left the EU. It's such a lie.
Just got back from the beach. I cleared up after last night's parties.
Here are the rules.
1. The beach is not a bin.
2. If you carry it in you can carry it home.
3. Clear up after yourself and others.
4. Don't be a twat.
That says it all. And demands a list:
1. Dispose of your PPE properly
2. Dispose of your PPE properly
3. Dispose of your PPE properly
4. Dispose of your PPE properly
5. Dispose of your PPE properly
6. We all know what this one is.
We are paying 45 million pound to Serco for contact tracing. Serco’s 18000 call handlers contacted only 10,000 contacts in two weeks. Meanwhile local public health teams contacted 77600 contacts ie almost eight times more according to DHSC Test and Track data.
Please stop referring to the “NHS App”. It was developed by a private firm. The NHS tag was used to legitimise it. Now it has failed, the NHS tag will be used to shift blame from the private company responsible.
Note to @BBCr4today & other broadcasters.
Please stop referring to the failed “NHS Track & Trace App”.
The NHS has nothing to do with it.
This was an un-tendered commercial app, endorsed by @MattHancock & given to SERCO to deliver.
SERCO & Hancock failed - not our NHS.
For every hour we spend agonising over societal crimes of the past, we should probably allow a minute or two to wonder what we're doing now that will be similarly condemned a hundred years hence. Climate, obviously; animal rights, likewise. What else?
@campervanliving Well done. Too many just spout off on social media and do not actually engage in a conversation with those in power to try and change what annoys them #DominicCummngs
I've just written to my MP to express my disgust at the hypocrisy, lies and lack of integrity shown by his government.
If this infuriates you too, why not do it? Let them know how you feel.
Will the motorhome be the future of travel? It's self contained, cleaner than flying and electric versions are on the way.
But is there enough infastructure? Aires, service points? charging?
Can travel ever be truly green?
Where do we go from here?
When we have a 99 yr old doing laps to raise money for the NHS which is NOT a charity and for which most of us pay our taxes and billionaires and multi billion pound corporations who avoid tax persuading us they are doing us a favour by donating - THIS IS THE PROBLEM #BigNightIn
