Following the cancellation of the Think Local Festival in Ireland, the organisers gathered privately with friends, family and with some of our speakers, to issue a statement and to discuss what happened.

@PQuinlanNP@TraceyOMahony81 There’s a world of a difference between
‘You are the only person who **will** see your data, which is stored securely on your mobile phone’ (what’s in the web page)
And
‘You are the only person who **can** see your data, which is stored securely on your mobile phone’
The gov is cynical. They know, that without real opposition, this deal is likely to pass the qualified majority process in the EU.
Strong words domestically & inaction on the EU front will allow the gov to blame Brussels & escape any political damage.

🚜@farmingUK had a positive piece on Bovaer a chemical used to reduce methane emissions in cows. Retired GP Dr Jennine Morgan @jemmm85517813 replied to them.
"The chemical was found in 4/5 samples of milk tested. It was also found in liver, adrenals, muscle & brain. Ovary size was reduced. Rats treated with it failed to get pregnant.
"Do you deny it says this in the study documents? Moreover, what effect does it have on soils, small mammals, insects, birds, worms etc? where are the studies? What effect does it have on the microbiome of cows?"
Farming UK deleted their post.

The UN & its partner agencies are intent on pushing Degrowth in Western nations. Of course, this will trickle down into more suffering for lesser developed nations, as well (less meat production= more hunger), but it works to the benefit of nations on the ascendency to more power, such as China. The whole premise of climate change due to livestock emissions is based on a scam. The scam is Degrowth.
A Concorde sitting abandoned at Heathrow is the best representation of the post-2008 degrowth mind virus. This is what they took away from us.
We need to bring unapologetic progress back.
