12 years ago I went to the polls for the referendum and was very excited and nervous. Went with friends and we had been talking about how we were gonna vote. Afterwards stopped at the pub. 3 of the 5 said they changed their minds and had decided to vote “No”. We asked why and

The humble Irish Hare is persecuted in Ireland for blood sports
Thousands of wild hares across Ireland are hunted and captured and used as live lures for greyhounds, leading to severe stress, physical injuries, and deaths.
@20splentyforus 'Casualties on Welsh 20mph and 30mph roads fell by roughly 23% between spring 2023 and the end of 2024, against a broadly flat trend on other roads — a faster decline than the equivalent figures in England or Scotland over the same window.'
22 Hares found dead in field in Kent UK
These poor Hares were hunted down and killed for so called sport
"Some of those hares would have been feeding their young which will now die as well."
Absolute scum who did this

The Sovereign Grant is going up by £50 million. That's another £50 million in royal funding, on top of the half a billion we already give them. It's time to scrap the grant, plain and simple. #AbolishTheMonarchy
Along a quarter of the planet's coastal waterways, humans contribute more harmful nitrogen—via agricultural runoff, wastewater discharges and other activities—than all natural sources combined.

Every fibre a human being wore before 1935 came off an animal or out of a field.
Wool, linen, silk, leather, cotton, fur, hemp. Ten thousand years of it and nothing else.
Nylon arrived in 1935, from a DuPont laboratory, made out of coal and air.
Polyester followed in 1941, out of oil.
The fleece jacket arrived in 1979, spun from the same plastic as a fizzy drink bottle.
Polyester is now more than half of every fibre made on earth.
Every wash sends a few hundred thousand fragments of it down the drain.
In 2020 they found plastic in the human placenta.
In 2022 they found it in blood.
In 2024 they found it in the testicles of every man they tested.
In 2025 they weighed it in the brain and found the equivalent of a plastic spoon.
Meanwhile, in 2023, a Swaledale fleece off a Yorkshire hill fetched 5p a kilo.
Shearing her cost the farmer close to £2. He paid to have her wool taken away.
This year is the best wool year in a decade, and a fleece will just about cover the man who took it off.
The only fibre on earth that grows back every summer, insulates when wet, refuses to burn and rots quietly in a field when you are finished with it, is worth less than the labour of removing it.
The one they found in your blood is £200 a jacket.
The sheep has not been informed.

@NationCymru GoSafe originally refused to get involved. I have had similar issues with Gosafe in recent times and reach the conclusion they are no longer fit for purpose.

You probably don't know but before 1964 nobody owned the seas surrounding the UK.
They were common land.
In 1964 they were all given to the King, so now all the Wind Turbines and Oil Rigs in the UK pay rent to him.
They should all be placed back under Government control.
It's a scam.

Child death on our roads is such a tragedy, & continues. Why do drivers kill children?
As always another changed life & our thoughts should be with the family. But then quickly on what will @andyburnham do to #StopRoadDeath
Gvt has a target to reduce child death, but no plan.
