@Liam_Holman99 Probably doing as good a job as the environment agency,that has been in the news recently

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

A stunning reminder of why we cannot give up on our rivers yesterday, as I stumbled across an adult eel on the Roding for the first time, lounging in the shallows in the shade of a council tower block & within earshot of the North Circular.

This now rare & magical sight used to be common, until eel populations crashed on the Roding in the 1980’s & have not recovered. Seeking to understand & reverse this population crash should surely be a key role for the governments environmental regulator, but as usual they have done nothing to improve water quality or remove barriers to eel migration. Worse, they are actively blocking my efforts to help the eel population recover.

Ordinarily, baby eels (elvers) for restocking are expensive to buy. However, I managed to secure a kind donation of elvers from fishermen on the River Severn (where the elvers often get stuck behind barriers on the river). I applied for my @EnvAgency restocking permit like a good boy & all they had to do to help recover eel populations on the Roding was to say yes. Perhaps predictably, my application was rejected, because there was no positive evidence that reintroducing eels to the Roding would be a good thing. Perhaps most annoyingly, my application to restock eels on the Roding was rejected because reintroducing them would interfere with the EA’s monitoring of their continued decline.

I asked what would happen if I went ahead & released the elvers anyway & was told that the EA would fine me up to £50,000. Yet another example of the malevolent uselessness of the EA: obsessed with procedure, but will do absolutely sod all to actually reverse the decline in our rivers.

@CalumLaw @harrowbyutd1949 So why you leaving

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

Dear @EnvAgency.

In February this year, after 4 years of asking you to look after the Aldersbrook, I led a team of volunteers to do your job for you & clean out tonnes of silt & leaves, as well as hundreds of bags of rubbish. Through the effort of community volunteers & donations, & at zero cost to the taxpayer, we turned a forgotten silted up ditch back into a river again.

Last nights intense rain storm showed why our actions are the very definition of “strengthening water resilience”. A huge amount of rain fell in a short time, but the restored section of the Aldersbrook has been able to hold 100’s of thousands of litres more water, stopping this water running into the Roding, & thereby *reducing* local flood risk. The first photograph below is of the Aldersbrook after the rains this morning- a big contrast to the area before we did the work.

Perhaps more importantly, this water, instead of running straight off into the Roding & hence the sea is now being held in the Aldersbrook & gradually released so it can be used by nature. It is feeding marshes, trees & wildlife, topping up groundwater & helping to reduce our flood/drought cycle. If you want to strengthen water resilience, we need thousands more projects like the Aldersbrook around the country.

So the question I ask you, Environment Agency, is why you are threatening me with two years imprisonment, rather than offering to meet & discuss how we can work together to restore the Roding & its tributaries, which could become a blueprint for you cooperating with local river guardians nationwide?

19 seconds in Southport laying a wreath, no tears.

No tears for British farmers who committed suicide.

No tears for pensioners.

No tears for betrayed British veterans.

No tears for the victims of illegal migration.

No tears for Henry Nowak.

Tears for himself only.

🚨THIS IS JUDGE LORD JUSTICE TIMOTHY HOLROYDE

This is the judge who REFUSED Lucy Connolly her appeal after she was convicted for a social media post.

Meanwhile this very same judge CUT the sentence of Labour's Lord Ahmed by THREE YEARS after he was convicted of child sex offences. His sentence was reduced to just two and a half years from five and half years.

SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE!!

Sorry lads, in 100 years they will set fire to your flag, p*ss on the Cenotaph and call you all racist.

OVER YOU GO! 🇬🇧

[Dan Wootton @danwootton]

THE UK IS NOW IN TOTAL CRISIS!
Cities are burning.
Today the Defence Secretary John Healey has resigned because Slippery Starmer and Rachel From Accounts will not spend enough money to keep us safe.
They would rather pay more welfare to invading illegal migrants.
BOTH MUST GO.

@UKDefJournal Months,what a joke

[Driftwood @buc97552]

Keir Starmer informing parliament that anyone who pushes a wheelie bin towards the police will “feel the full force of the law”

But putting a police officer in hospital is perfectly fine.

[BRITAIN IS BROKEN 🇬🇧 @BROKENBRITAIN0]

🚨BREAKING: Remember the man who was arrested by MULTIPLE police officers and SMASHED with a riot shield in Southampton? 🇬🇧

Well he is a MILITARY VETERAN who suffers from Complex PTSD and has 13 metal pins in his ankle - the police BEAT HIM because he didn’t get out of their way fast enough - This is pure police brutality❗️

Read his lawyer’s statement below 👇

This is Henry's older sister, Olivia Nowak

She called her brother her "best friend" and said they had "an unbreakable bond" in a statement following his death

Pray for her

I assume the England football team will all be taking the knee for Henry Nowak yeah?

This is Wes Streeting … The man who believes he has the talent to be the new Prime Minister.

The man who stands firmly against hate speech… And these are some of the posts he has made on X

Always keep the receipts.
