I intended to continue with this🧵for #SaveCoulLinks campaign but instead am submitting 3 portfolios of many captioned photographs to @DPEAScotland planning & environmental appeals for its Hearing, via the Not Coul⛳️🏌️golf development opposition group. I will provide links below.
@Protect_Wldlife Note heifer's teats (bottom right). Moronic activity, but not quite as suicidal as playing with a mature bull. Evolution of humans could have done much better.
A British national living in Southampton had her car and property damaged. She said,
“I’ve never felt so unsafe in my house.”
She did not feel unsafe because of Sikhs, Muslims or migrants but because of other British nationals, a section of whom were far right.
Yesterday 274 people pushed for the summit of Mount Everest just to give their LinkedIn profile the edge.
Horrendous.

Roger Waters on Going Underground: ‘HOW CAN ANYONE STAY SILENT ON PALESTINE?’
'I can't stand by silent and indifferent like Brian May or Elton John, they have different pasts, and maybe they believe Keir Starmer's rank, disgusting bull**** cheering on the boys to go on their spy missions over Gaza.'
'How anyone can stand by silent and indifferent now while this genocide is being committed in Gaza and the occupied West Bank in Palestine, I do not know.'
@rogerwaters
Think this one through. Beautiful olive trees that grow and mature and serve as the livelihoods of families. People who think they are righteous and devoted to an all-seeing god, burn them down. And it happens again and again and again.
I'm fuming to read this! 🤬
Year in and year out this kind of crap happens in the summer, when most birds are already breeding, not just with Swifts, but with all birds! 😒
Birds and their nests are protected by law, but the law is clearly inadequate and is riddled with loopholes that councils, builders, farmers... anyone really, can exploit. 😡
Yet still some wonder why the UK is the most nature depleted place on earth...

💥 Russland versuchte während des Angriffs auf Kyjiw gezielt, die Notrufnummern 101 und 112 auszuschalten.
Laut DSNS-Chef Andrij Danyk wurden Einrichtungen der Einsatzleitungen angegriffen, um die Notfallreaktion zu lähmen.
Dennoch arbeiteten Disponenten und Funker selbst aus Schutzräumen weiter. Die Notrufsysteme blieben in Betrieb.
Wer Rettungsdienste angreift, greift gezielt die Zivilbevölkerung an. #Ukraine #Kyjiw
We are now in a weird era where a guy gets publicly shamed for running his sprinklers on a Tuesday, while a data center the size of a Costco quietly drains a reservoir so AI can generate a picture of your cat as a medieval knight. And the data center gets a tax incentive for it.
Andy Burnham unveils plans for reindustrialisation, taking stronger public control of essentials, and also calls for a council house building programme on a scale not seen since after World War II

An illegal, armed, racist 🇮🇱 occupier in the West Bank 🇵🇸
Blindfolds a Palestinian 🇵🇸 farmer, hands bound
And then abuses him
With the support of the 🇮🇱 ‘army’
Military backed apartheid
Racism
Fascism
World leaders need to wake up
Sanction 🇮🇱 now
Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN now.
'I think Britain has been on the wrong path for 40 years'
Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham has said he wants to 'save the Labour Party from where it has been' and get 'the basics back under public control', as he attempts to return to Parliament as an MP

Another beautiful Honey Buzzard shot in Lebanon is part of a massive ecological crisis: 2.6M birds are poached there yearly.
Forced through narrow mountain corridors, these slow-breeding raptors are targeted by illegal shooters for ‘fun’ - wiping out entire European populations.
It is wonderful to hear Andy Burnham calling for strong public control of water and energy.
But let’s be clear, we need water and energy in PUBLIC OWNERSHIP - not just public control.
The services rely on to live must be owned and controlled by us.
Winter simply refuses to give up its grip on the high Cairngorms. Paul Phillips’ visit yesterday to Ciste Mhearad (aka ‘the snow house’ of the 18th century) showed drifts that were about 6-8 metres high. These will take some shifting.
For anyone who has never met the Superb Lyrebird of Australia.
David Attenborough says it displays one of the most sophisticated voice skills within the animal kingdom—"the most elaborate, the most complex, and the most beautiful."
The chainsaw always brings tears to my eyes.
Yesterday, we showed our determination to support the Palestinian people in the face of lies and smears.
The British government is complicit in genocide — and we will be here for as long as it takes until there is justice and liberation for Palestine.
