Someone please invent a time machine and take me back to the 80's!

@JamesMelville The National? Newspaper?
You must be trolling.

[April Scott @april_scot]

@JamesMelville A ‘disaster’ of their own making.
They chose to murder, r@pe and kindap innocent people knowing full well what the consequences would be. In fact they relished the response. Fool.

@Artemisfornow Do you think she'll start with all those lovely, empty Kensington and Chelsea properties owned by overseas owners (mainly HK Chinese etc)? No? Me either.

@Mr_Andrew_Fox @profnfenton The lunatics are ruining this country.

@JoieFoster9 @SuzeebeeWC I agree there’s too much scientific jargon but the main point was not to even try to clean/sterilise - just dispose of them.

@aliciakearns @Francis_Hoar The home office is packed full of their agents and constantly recruiting more by the day. It needs a complete overhaul .

California's Central Valley produces 80% of the world's almonds. Each almond requires 3.2 gallons of actual irrigation water to grow. Not rainfall. Actual tap water pumped from aquifers.

One gallon of almond milk requires 162 gallons of irrigation water. Compare that to dairy milk at 8 gallons of tap water per gallon, with the rest being rainfall that falls on pasture anyway.

But here's where it gets properly grim. Almonds bloom for exactly three weeks in February. During those three weeks, California needs every pollinating bee in North America transported to the Central Valley or the crop fails entirely.

Commercial beekeepers truck in 31 billion honeybees. That's two-thirds of America's entire managed bee population, all concentrated in one valley for three weeks. The bees are packed into trucks, driven across the country, dumped into almond groves drenched in pesticides, worked to exhaustion, then packed up and shipped to the next crop.

The mortality rate is catastrophic. Beekeepers report losing 30 to 50% of their hives annually. That's billions of bees dead. Not from natural causes. From being used as disposable pollination machines for your almond milk.

The pesticides don't help. Almond groves are sprayed with neonicotinoids which scramble bee navigation systems, fungicides which weaken their immune systems, and herbicides which eliminate the wildflowers they'd normally forage on between almond blooms.

Meanwhile the aquifer depletion is permanent. The Central Valley has sunk 28 feet in some areas from groundwater extraction. That water took 10,000 years to accumulate. It's being drained in decades for almond milk.

Your vegan latte killed more bees and used more water than a year's worth of dairy milk. But it's got "plant-based" on the label so you're definitely saving the planet.

“Let’s spend £4.5trillion on net zero over the next 25 years. Let’s ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea but spaff away £40billion buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. Let’s buy coking coal shipments from Japan but ban UK coal mining. Let’s plaster thousands of acres of farmland with solar panels but spend £50million on sun dimming experiments. Let’s give Drax an estimated £1.8billlion in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11billion it has already received despite Drax burning an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees. Let’s give £1.5 billion of taxpayers’ money this year alone to wind power companies not to generate power from their wind turbines. And let’s spend £30billion of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines but put pensioners, farmers and the disabled into financial peril by falsely claiming there’s a £22bn black hole.”

@JamesMelville It’s an act of self destruction to accept such a despicable shill. Reform are showing how fearful of actually winning power they are. Very disappointing.

[April Scott @april_scot]

@Nigel_Farage @nadhimzahawi This seems like a deliberate act of self sabotage.

[April Scott @april_scot]

@sharrond62 Global Entry is the answer!

[April Scott @april_scot]

@RupertLowe10 I’m beginning to believe Farage really doesn’t want to be PM. This seems like deliberate sabotage of his own party.

[April Scott @april_scot]

@Artemisfornow I'm done with Reform now. By taking this despicable shill on they've shown that they and Farage have no principles- just like all the others.

[April Scott @april_scot]

@ChrisMartzWX At least you only have to deal with them on here - I’m living it. Not all of us are mental.

[April Scott @april_scot]

@ChrisMartzWX From your lips to Trump's ears!
Sadly our voting system is so screwed that a party with 33% of the vote won 63% of the seats and it's incredibly difficult to move to the US legally. We're doomed!

@BritishCycling @BritishRowing - Look! This is how to stand up for fair sports for women and girls.

[April Scott @april_scot]

@BritishRowing Disgraceful and cowardly decision by @BritishRowing - What sort of message do you think this sends to girls and women? You are destroying women’s rowing.

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: No wonder jnr doctors & nurses don’t feel valued. Not everyone is “feeling poor”equally @bankofengland . What gvmnt has done to their pay 👇 is an absolute disgrace
