New non-fiction ~ The SAS, Robin Ince, a history of the English House with Dan Cruickshank, a year in nature, Ancient Rome, and the race for AI domination.
I’m not in the same camp as Frank or the Broughster on the topic de jour, but this is a good read with useful data. Oh to be peering from behind a nearby Berkshire bush when this ale or jail schooling session takes place.
@BarstewardsThe@YorkshireRacing Great show as usual. Totally agree with the lack of excitement for the jumps this year. It’s lost its appeal to me and the relentless Cheltenham, Cheltenham, Cheltenham wears very thin.
🌟 PLEASE HELP 🌟
Lost today @Sandownpark
A silver bracelet with small stirrup charm.Huge sentimental value. A special present for my birthday that I’ve only worn twice. I am totally gutted.
I am hoping someone found it and need the power of social media to help get it back #RT
It’s time to voice an ugly truth:
I’ve been talking recently {privately} with ecologists, with very senior figures in the environmental NGOs, with activists and lawyers. What they say - privately - is stark:
>This Govt is even worse on nature than the Sunak & Johnson Govts<.
The best comparator is with the Truss regime, with its #attackonnature.
But Truss lasted less long than a lettuce. We are stuck with this lot til 2029.
Whether it’s Aarhus, habitats, planning, Starmer’s proposed bonfire of regulations, and on and on and on, both the rhetoric and the reality of Labour on nature are simply dire.
Why? Because, just like Truss, they will sacrifice anything for a smidgeon of potential ‘growth’. And because there is no care at all for nature in their dna. They will throw anything under the bus for some possible short-term human material benefit.
Never mind that humans NEED nature too! They don’t seem aware of that.
