PLEASE THINK OF WILDLIFE IN THIS HEAT! 🥵

It's been VERY warm here in the UK recently and our native wildlife need help just as much as we all do!

With temperatures set to remain high, please make sure to leave a bowl of fresh water out to give thirsty animals a little helping hand. One dish up high for birds and another on the ground is ideal!

Who knows how many lives you will help by doing so!

Waitrose drops ‘feminine’ label from tampons after trans complaint. Why does everyone allow themselves to be bullied by trans activists? So fed up of this stuff. Ignoring the majority for a loud vicious minority https://t.co/EiTW1Z1Q5F

This is what rescue & sanctuary means great work: Julie, Portugal's last circus elephant, has arrived as the first resident at the Pangea Elephant Sanctuary in the Alentejo — the first of its kind in Europe, a landmark moment for elephant welfare... https://t.co/H5u4w6R4mH

Our wildlife is under more threat than ever before and yet the BBC are cancelling Winter Watch it’s a national disgrace

[Carl Bovis @CarlBovisNature]

First it was Autumnwatch axed by the @BBC
Now Winterwatch is being axed too... 😡
How long before the flagship @BBCSpringwatch goes the same way? 😒
These shows are educational, fun and extremely popular.... but who needs nature anyway eh?
Sickening decision... 😔😡

À ceux qui refusent de louer un logement à cause de la présence d’un chien… j’aimerais simplement dire ceci :

Je ne peux pas l’emmener à la plage, parce que ça vous dérange en vacances.
Je ne trouve pas de maison à louer, parce que “on ne veut pas d’animaux ici”.
Je ne peux pas prendre le bus ni le train, parce que “les chiens, ça embête les gens”.

Et pourtant…

C’est à lui que je pourrais demander de traverser des décombres après un tremblement de terre pour vous retrouver.
C’est lui qu’on envoie en montagne ou dans les bois quand quelqu’un est perdu sans réseau.
C’est encore lui qui plongera dans une eau glacée pour venir vous sauver, là où personne n’ose aller.

Oui, pour certains, ce n’est “qu’un chien”.
Mais si un jour vous avez besoin d’aide… ce sera peut-être ce chien-là qui viendra à votre secours.
Et il le fera.
Sans jamais vous demander si vous l’auriez laissé monter sur le canapé. 🐾

Lovely weather, isn't it?🌞
Unless you're a nocturnal animal who has to sleep all through the hot day, and wake at night to find no water. No puddles.
No kind dishes.
Unseen.
Unthought of.
Just the tantalising smell of water from a pond you may drown in, or a drain you may get trapped in.
Or a stagnant, dirty old birdbath you may get fatal fluke from.
Hedgehogs need to drink a lot of water to stay healthy.
Please provide clean, fresh, safe, ground level water each evening for our precious nocturnal wildlife.
Tap water is best.
Pop a dish or two out tonight.
Front and back.
Keep it clean.
Keep it full.
Keep it saving lives.❤️‍🩹

In England, you're allowed to clear about 20 metres of silt and rubbish out of a river on your own. Anything past that needs a permit from the Environment Agency. Paul Powlesland's volunteers cleared a 250-metre stretch of the River Roding with a hired digger, which is why a barrister who hauled out 200 bags of trash is now under criminal investigation.

The Roding runs through east London. Powlesland lives on a boat moored on it, and for years he and a group of volunteers have pulled out shopping trolleys, needles, old appliances, even weapons. Kingfishers, herons and dragonflies came back to water that used to be buried under junk. This one job took 10 days and a digger that cost £1,000 to hire.

The rule that caught him is oddly specific. Under England's water rules, scooping silt off the bottom of a river the agency officially manages counts as a "flood risk activity", and the law treats that the same as building a structure in the water. Do it without a permit and the offence carries up to two years in prison. The agency says it is also looking at waste the volunteers left on the floodplain. Powlesland is an environmental lawyer who has used these exact laws to protect rivers and trees, and a conviction could cost him his licence to practise.

The agency's reasoning isn't unreasonable. Dredging done badly can push flooding onto people downstream and wreck the habitat that protected animals need, which is what the permit is meant to prevent. The 20-metre allowance is there for small jobs. And no decision to prosecute has actually been made.

While investigators were knocking on a volunteer's door within a week of his cleanup, water companies discharged raw sewage into England's rivers and seas for a combined 3.6 million hours in 2024, more than 400 years of spilling packed into a single year. Only 14% of English rivers are in good health. Between 2015 and 2025, the Environment Agency investigated water companies for pollution 11,474 times. Fifty-eight of those ended in a prosecution. For serious pollution over the last five years, the number of water companies actually taken to court and convicted is zero.

So the message comes out backwards. Spend ten days and a thousand pounds making a river cleaner and an officer turns up within the week. Pump sewage into that same river for years and the chance of seeing a courtroom is close to zero.

Such tragic news to hear of the death of Anthony Head such a talented actor & lovely man

His passing comes so soon after of his Sarah Fisher

Both Anthony and Sarah were tireless in their care & compassion for animals. Sarah ran Tilleys farm a sanctuary for rescued horses ponies and donkeys and did so much for animal centred education for dogs and other animals

Anthony was a patron of Battersea Dogs Home and Safe Haven for Donkeys and a very vocal campaigner for animal protection

During my time as CEO of the Badger Trust he narrated a wonderful ground breaking campaign film aimed at stopping the culling of these beautiful wild animals

Both are so sadly missed and deserved longer in this world, l hope they are now finally back together again

BREAKING NEWS:

FREE THE 15....... THE 15 HAVE BEEN FREED

Steph Spyro @StephSpyro and the @Daily_Express have saved the penguins which are currently being held captive in the basement of the London Aquarium. 👏👏👏

Huge, huge, huge achievement. Hip hip hooray.

A brilliant, brilliant example of nothing more than having a clear vision, a strategic objective coupled with the guts, the ambition and determination to deliver it. Huge round of applause.

Mighty I suggest that others, especially those within the eNGO charity sector will want to take note.

Over 600 pilot whales, white sided dolphins & bottle nose dolphins were slaughtered in 3 separate Grind Hunts on the Faroe Islands on Wednesday. Britain must suspend trade relations with the Faroe Islands to stop this cruel madness

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.

[Benonwine @benonwine]

The British taxpayer is now paying £125.25 a week for each extra wife in polygamous marriages and DWP just hiked it again in April.

While genuine British families and pensioners get scraps.

This isn’t compassion. It’s madness.

Who else is absolutely furious about this?
