"Are we so addicted to our enjoyment that we’ve stopped noticing when we’re the problem?”

Sunseekers have been slammed for invading wildlife ponds at London’s Hampstead Heath during “peak nesting season”, turning the idyllic spot into a “beach club” as Britain roasted in record-breaking May temperatures.

The Instagram account, Swans of Hampstead Heath,(SOHH) posted a now-viral reel on Tuesday, showing hundreds of people swimming, throwing balls and bathing their dogs as protected birds and cygnets waddled nearby. A large banner sign nearby read, “no swimming”.

One swimmer was said to have clambered over a swan nest, and footage showed a swan prodding at an unhatched egg that had fallen from its nest into the water.

SOHH wrote on their post: “There are still eggs waiting to hatch, ducklings and chicks only days/weeks old, and for the first time in years, swans have successfully nested on this pond, with cygnets now just 13 days old.”

The post went on to lament the lack of staffing provided to “manage the non-swimming ponds” which are “increasingly being treated as beach destinations”.

“The Heath should not have to lose its nature to accommodate people unwilling to respect it," SOHH said.

In a post on Facebook, Andrew Knight, a veterinary professor of animal welfare, asked: “Here’s the uncomfortable question nobody wants to ask: Are we so addicted to our enjoyment that we’ve stopped noticing when we’re the problem?”

He continued: “We expect nature to be resilient. But resilience isn’t a free pass for selfishness. Is my brief pleasure worth more than a bird’s life. The Health is a home for wildlife, they were here first.”

British politics in a nutshell

Step 1: invent or exaggerate a problem
Step 2: blame migrants, the poor, students, minorities or anyone with the least power
Step 3: promise action
Step 4: forget you’ve already had 14 years to act
Step 5: Create a new party & Repeat

Never has so much shit been spewed by one man!

It's called the Guga hunt, where young Gannets are killed for tradition and a local delicacy. Most people cannot believe it's still allowed to happen.

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks...

HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless.

Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it

So where's the wall-to-wall coverage?

Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

Dear Reform-voting ladies…

Do you know you’re voting for a party that wants to:

❌ Scrap the Equality Act - your legal protection against workplace discrimination & unequal pay

❌ Kill the Online Safety Act - the law protecting you from revenge porn

❌ Vote AGAINST the bill to stop workplace sexual harassment

❌ Stack the party with anti-abortion politicians - some opposing termination even in cases of rape

❌ Push “pro-family” policies that put women back in the home

I guess the question is…

Do you hate immigrants more than you love your rights?

Listen to what this psychologist has to say:

"Trump has the most severe personality disorder a human being can have.”

“The world is in a hell lot of trouble, because the most powerful man in the world is both evil and demented."

RT if Mick is right.

18 children died in this fire. What a revolting moron.

[Brendan May @bmay]

No, thicko, some deaths are actually easily preventable by doing things like, you know, heeding repeated fire safety warnings that tried to prevent people from having to live in unsafe death traps.

I assume Reform will be sacking this depraved imbecile?

[Protect the Wild @ProtectTheWild_]

SHARE if you agree!

Let's make 2026 the year that fox hunting is ended for good.

Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached.

Let’s make sure it goes viral here.

The children were 5 and 7 years old. They shot them in their car.

I don’t know who still needs to hear this, but murdering families for sport is not normal.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

A couple and their 5 and 7 year old kids…

Shot and killed in front of their 2 other kids by the IDF

This would be on every front page and condemned by politicians far and wide if the victims has been Israelis

And yet when they’re Palestinians…

Utterly utterly shameful.

@LumpyandFriends Donated. Thank you for doing what you do xx

[Protect the Wild @ProtectTheWild_]

So sick of this man and his sordid family. Lecturing us constantly about being better and 'helping nature' after he's spent his whole life slaughtering animals and creating this absurd 'eco King' image.

The media is complicit in rape culture.

Every time they run a headline saying someone “had sex” with a child… they’re carrying water for pedophiles.

You can’t “have sex” with a child.

It’s rape. Every time.

Use the correct language.
