Another Endangered Pregnant Hammerhead Killed in Florida by Mark the Shark:

This past weekend in Florida. Mark Quartiano killed a critically endangered Great Hammerhead. This wasn't just any shark—she was pregnant with 35 pups, all of which died with her.

In a disturbing display of ignorance, Maxi is pictured here kissing the dead young. This event was glamorized by WFLA News Channel 8 and NBC 6 South Florida as a miraculous catch, ignoring the severe impact on an endangered species.

@NOAAFisheries needs to step up and take responsibility for the conservation of these sharks by mandating their federal protection. The continued overfishing of Great Hammerheads can and will lead to their extinction.

Please reconsider supporting fishermen like Mark Quartiano and reach out to @NOAAFisheries to advocate for the revocation of licenses that allow targeting of internationally recognized endangered species.

Decades ago, Strawberry Hill farm in Beds was left to go wild, resulting in one of the highest concentrations of nightingales, turtle doves, warblers & other threatened species anywhere in the country.

Can you help us save it?

So just hours after the great and the good were last seen using the River Mimram (a chalk stream) as a backdrop here what it looks like today. This morning.

Polluted. It's turned purple.

So much for fine words and speeches all of it devoid of intent and delivering even less.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Whatever did happen that heavily promised, overly hyped Chalk Stream Recovery Pack? 🤔

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Dominic Cummings referred Innova Medical to the VIP PPE lane, they were worth £-2000.

They got given £4,000,000,000+ worth of contracts.

I wonder what his cut was.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

4 weeks after an outbreak of cryptosporidium, causes diarrhoea, vomiting, people in Brixham are still having to boil their water.

The company involved @SouthWestWater has just been allowed to buy @SESWater. Watch out the good people of Sutton and Surrey.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

What on earth is @SouthWestWater doing in Cornwall?

They truly think they are invincible, unaccountable, untouchable.

The arrogance.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

The shambles that is the water industry, its political oversight and regulation in a single Tweet.

Poison a whole town, refuse to comply with the law and as a reward get you a 50% pay increase.

HURRAH!!!

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

“We’ve put 20,000 more police officers on the street” @RishiSunak is boasting today

Imagine his shock when someone reminds him his party has

• Cut 21,000 police officers
•Cut 23000 police support staff
• Closed 600 police stations

& he will fall off his chair when he finds out that per capita - with an increasing population - we shall actually have fewer police on our streets then we did a decade ago NOT MORE!

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Ed Conway observes that two thirds of the money raised in the Conservative party manifesto is to make the poorest and most in need even poorer 😱

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

And the water industry learns yet again that it pays to pollute. 👇🤬🤬🤬

A £300,000 pay rise for a total of £860,000 in 2023.

So how's your cost of living crisis going then?

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

2,147!!!

Not the current price of a loaf of bread, not the price of a pint of milk, not the price of a litre of petrol, it's the total number of hours non-stop that @thameswater has been dumping sewage into the River Ver, a chalk stream, 1 of only 225 on the entire planet.

[Ver Valley Society @VerValleySoc]

It's 2147 hours of sewage spills and still counting, into the #RiverVer this year at @thameswater's Markyate Sewage works. We believe @EnvAgencySE have visited... but we went again, just to remind ourselves what a #chalkstream looks and smells like after receiving such a load...

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

I swear you really can't make this stuff up.

What's @SouthernWater's idea to fix their sewage dumping at Whitstable? Easy build a longer pipe and dump that sh*t further out to sea. I kid you now.

Has @EnvAgency issued a permit for the nonsense?

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Michael Gove scrapped the £56bn school building project in 2010 that was set to replace every single RAAC school in the UK.

He then replaced it with nothing.

Fast forward 13 years and they are all falling down.

Whose fault is it?

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Conservative MP Ben Wallace said he wants to defend the Right to hunt foxes.

Lets have a Poll.

RT, foxes have a Right to live.
Like, Humans have a Right to murder foxes.

Repost this Led @ByDonkeys film about Rees Mogg as often as you can 👌

Particularly my friends in
"North East Somerset and Hanham" new constituency

Get Jacob Rees Mogg out in 4 weeks time

I might get down there myself to see what's going on 😉

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

One of the best publicly-accesible rewilding sites in London is due to be enclosed & destroyed for artificial pitches for @SpursOfficial. I visited Whitewebbs Park in Enfield to see why it’s special & why local people are against this destructive sell off by @EnfieldCouncil 🧵

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

BREAKING
Tory Jonathan Gullis @GullisJonathan took £10,000 from JCB, then stayed silent when JCB axed 200+ jobs in his constituency just 2 weeks later.

BUT he was vocal about smaller job losses from Johnson's Tiles who hadn't donated!
