A reason to despise the political class is their enthusiasm for/impotence in the face of the desecration of the landscape. Data centres,
turbines ... if they could make a buck defecating into their hands and smearing it around they'd have their trousers down and skirts up now.

[ENT - Education Not Taxation @EducationNotTax]

For two years, parents, schools and campaigners have been accused of "scaremongering".

For two years, @bphillipsonMP has responded to concerns by saying she "does not accept" the evidence.

Today we publish a report comparing what Ministers said would happen with what has actually happened.

The evidence is not "chatter".
It is official Government data.

This year the Home Office moved to stop expert sheep shearers from Australia and New Zealand coming to shear British sheep.

The people who keep the animals comfortable were declared surplus to requirements.

For over a decade, around 75 of the best shearers on earth have flown in each spring on a simple visa concession. In a few brutal weeks they take the wool off up to two million sheep.

A top shearer clears a ewe in two or three minutes. Hundreds a day. Calm hands, no panic in the animal. It is a global trade and a young body's game, and Britain has never grown enough of its own.

The official line? Fourteen years to train Britons, so the door is closing.

Here is what that tidy sentence ignores. A sheep must be shorn every year or she overheats, cannot move properly, and gets eaten alive by flies and maggots. Shearing on time is welfare, plain and simple, written into law and into the animal's own skin.

So a government that lectures farmers without pause about welfare has quietly made the most basic welfare task harder to carry out. After the outcry they allowed one "final" year. Then the experts are gone for good.

A sector already losing money on every fleece, already burning wool it cannot sell, now told it cannot even get the people in to take the wool off.

You could be forgiven for thinking somebody wants the British sheep gone.

LAWFUL REBELLION

YOUR RIGHT UNDER MAGNA CARTA

Under article 61 of Magna Carta 1215 (the founding document of our Constitution) we have a right to enter into lawful rebellion if we feel we are being governed unjustly. Contrary to common belief our Sovereign and her government are only there to govern us and not to rule us and this must be done within the constraint of our Common Law and the freedoms asserted to us by such Law, nothing can become law in this country if it falls outside of this simple constraint. Article 61 shows quite clearly who really holds the power in this country, that being quite simply us the people; we have Sovereignty not any Parliament and nor can this be taken from us by any Parliament who claim to have taken the people's Sovereignty.

This is how we solve our political woes and take our country back.

Only we can save ourselves.

Petition: Ensure access to non-whole meal flour without folic acid fortification

We call on the Government to amend the law to ensure there are at least one non-wholemeal flour option without folic acid fortification, and to exempt organic flour from mandatory folic acid fortification requirement from December 2026.

@KateMcGahan1 I do believe there are others out there who think mad Eds version of "Climate change" is real. What they wont admit is that THE CLIMATE HAS BEEN CHANGING FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS, and it has very little to do with human activity. Blocking the sun being the exception obviously.🌥️

[Andrew Bridgen @ABridgen]

We need to stop the mandatory introduction of Folic acid into flour, it’s will be harmful to a large proportion of the population. So far no debate in Parliament just an announcement it’s being introduced into all flour in the UK including organic flour.
‘Safe and effective’ again ?

THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH OF BOVAER HARMS: IMPORTANT PLEASE READ:

Environmental Risks of Bovaer (3‑NOP)

Bovaer’s active ingredient is 3‑nitrooxypropanol (3‑NOP).

It reduces methane by inhibiting an enzyme in the cow’s rumen.

But the environmental risks come from everything that happens after the cow eats it*.

Let’s break it down.

1. Manure Pathway Risks

Even though 3‑NOP breaks down inside the cow, its breakdown products do not disappear. They move into:

• manure
• slurry
• digestate
• soil
• water

This is the biggest environmental unknown.

Potential risks:

• Accumulation of metabolites in soil
• Impact on soil microbes (especially methanogens, nitrifiers, denitrifiers)
• Changes in nitrogen cycling
• Altered greenhouse‑gas emissions (N₂O, CO₂)
• Leaching into waterways

No long‑term, multi‑year field studies exist yet.

2. Soil Microbiome Disruption

3‑NOP targets methanogenic archaea.

But soil is full of:

• methanogens
• nitrifiers
• denitrifiers
• fungi
• bacteria

If Bovaer metabolites suppress or alter these communities, the consequences could include:

• reduced soil fertility
• altered carbon sequestration
• increased nitrous oxide emissions
• reduced microbial diversity

This is a classic “non‑target organism” risk.

3. Slurry Storage & Anaerobic Digestion Risks

Most dairy farms store slurry in:

• lagoons
• pits
• tanks
• anaerobic digesters

If Bovaer metabolites affect microbial activity in these systems, risks include:

• reduced biogas yield
• altered methane production
• build‑up of intermediate compounds
• changes in slurry stability

Anaerobic digesters rely on methanogens — the exact organisms Bovaer is designed to inhibit.

This is a major unknown.

4. Water Contamination Pathway

If Bovaer metabolites enter water via:

• runoff
• leaching
• spreading slurry on wet ground

…they may affect:

• aquatic microbes
• algae
• sediment chemistry
• methane‑cycling organisms

Freshwater ecosystems are extremely sensitive to chemical disruption.

5. Air Emissions Trade‑Offs

Bovaer reduces methane — but environmental science warns of pollution swapping:

Reducing one gas can increase another.

Possible trade‑offs:
• Lower CH₄
• Higher N₂O (300× more potent than CO₂)
• Higher ammonia emissions
• Changes in VOCs

If nitrogen cycling is altered, N₂O could rise — wiping out methane gains.

6. Biodiversity Impacts

If soil or water microbial communities shift, knock‑on effects include:

• reduced earthworm populations
• altered plant growth
• changes in root‑microbe symbiosis
• reduced insect biodiversity
• altered decomposition rates

Microbial disruption cascades upward through ecosystems.

7. Cumulative Impact Risk

This is the biggest scientific gap.

If Bovaer is used:

• daily
• in millions of cows
• across entire countries
• for decades

…then the environmental load of its metabolites becomes chronic, not incidental.

Cumulative risks include:

• long‑term soil accumulation
• multi‑year shifts in microbial ecology
• regional water‑quality changes
• altered greenhouse‑gas profiles
• ecosystem‑level effects

No country has yet conducted a cumulative environmental impact assessment.

8. Regulatory Blind Spot

Regulators approved Bovaer based on:

• Short Trials
• Controlled Conditions
• Limited Soil Studies
• ZERO Multi‑Year Field Data
• No Cumulative Modelling

This is normal for feed additives — but unusual for something intended for global, daily, mass‑scale use.

It’s the same regulatory gap that caused problems with:

• Neonicotinoids
• PFAS
• Glyphosate
• Microplastics

All were approved before long‑term environmental effects were understood.

Summary: The 5 Real Environmental Risks

• Soil microbiome disruption
• Slurry & anaerobic digestion interference
• Water contamination pathways
• Pollution swapping (N₂O increase)
• Cumulative, long‑term ecosystem effects

RISKS TO FARM WORKERS OF SERIOUS INJURY:

Farmworkers handling Bovaer are warned to treat it like a dangerous lab chemical, not a harmless feed additive. The powder can burn the skin, damage the eyes, and irritate the lungs, which is why workers must suit up in chemical‑resistant gloves, full protective clothing, sealed goggles or a face shield, and sometimes even a respirator if dust is present. One careless breath, one splash, one moment without proper PPE — and the consequences can be immediate and severe. It’s a stark reminder that if something requires this level of protection to handle, it raises serious questions about its place anywhere near the food chain.

THE BOTTOM LINE: PROFIT OVER SAFETY:

20 BILLION PROFITS YEARLY

Behind the polished sustainability slogans lies a staggering financial engine: the Bovaer trademark holders stand to extract tens of billions in annual global profit if the additive becomes standard across the world’s 1.5 billion cattle. Every cow becomes a tiny revenue stream, every farm a captive customer, and every country a new frontier of monetisation. The scale is so vast that the real prize isn’t methane reduction at all — it’s the creation of a permanent, worldwide dependency on a patented chemical that must be bought day after day, year after year. When a single feed additive can generate profits on the scale of a pharmaceutical empire, you start to see why the marketing feels so urgent, and why the push for adoption never stops.

@CutMyTaxUK Hey @grok is this true ?

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

A farmer dies in April 2026.

His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847.

The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle.

On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify.

In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable.

The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft.

The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let.

A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up.

The Treasury collects £140,000.

The land never produces British food again.

Synthetic folic acid is being introduced to all flour in the UK including ‘organic flour’.
No debate in our Parliament and no vote. Mass medication with something which will cause more harm than benefit in the those ( all of us ) who are exposed to it.
Does that sound familiar ?

[Armchair Admiral 🇬🇧 @ArmchairAdml]

My grandad is being charged £98/month out of contract by BT for 300mb/s + phone line.

I called them, ask to reduce the price. He tells me the best he can do is £65/month excluding the phone.

The BT website has £28/month for both.

I’m told if he logs into his account and does it online, it might be cheaper, but won’t be as cheap as the new customer deal.

My grandad is 84 and has been a customer with BT longer than I’ve been alive. He makes phone calls and occasionally watches Netflix. He doesn’t know how to use his BT account.

Pissed me off so much.
