A wool jumper, made in 1985, washed in cold water once a month, worn through three decades of British winters, would currently be sitting in someone's wardrobe doing fine.
A polyester fleece, made in 2026, machine-washed weekly, will start to lose its structural integrity within three to five years, shed an estimated 700,000 microfibres per wash into the water system, and end its life in landfill where it will persist for approximately 200 years.
The wool jumper:
- Came from a sheep
- Required grass and rain
- Will biodegrade entirely within three years of being buried
- Will keep you warm when wet
- Will not melt if exposed to a flame
- Will probably outlive you
- Cost £80 in 1985, which is £230 today, and represents the entire jumper budget for the next forty years
The polyester fleece:
- Came from an oil refinery in Texas
- Required hexane extraction, polymerisation and dyeing in three different factories on three different continents
- Will not biodegrade in any human timeframe
- Will get cold and clammy when wet
- Will melt against your skin if exposed to a flame
- Will be in landfill within five years
- Cost £40 in 2026, which means you'll buy ten of them across the next forty years for a total of £400, and the planet will still be eating the residue in the year 2226
But yes. The sheep is the problem.
The sheep, standing in a field in mid-Wales, growing a renewable fibre from grass and rain.
The sheep is the problem.

Why is it that this President refuses to even pretend that he cares about following the law?! I’ve been stomping & telling people that this election is life or death!
CONGRESS, not the PRESIDENT, but CONGRESS has the EXCLUSIVE authority to declare war! Speaker Johnson needs to call us in IMMEDIATELY & it is time for the House & the Senate to pass a war powers resolution!
This is how you prove your love and respect for the constitution. This is how you show your constituents that you are truly patriots! It is time for us, collectively, as Dems and Repubs to stand up to this President. Please call your reps in the house and the senate and urge them to take a vote on a war powers resolution!
Either the Iranian nuclear program was truly “completely destroyed,” as Trump claimed in which case the current justification for war is built on false premises or the program was not destroyed, which would mean his earlier statement was inaccurate.
In either scenario, the American public was not given a truthful account and now our “pro peace” “no new wars” President just started a new war
BREAKING: @RoKhanna just said there is a new precedent set which means Donald Trump has to testify before Congress about the Epstein files.
"A new precedent has been set in America today. Before this, we had the ‘Trump rule.’ Trump defied, as all of you know, a congressional subpoena with the January 6 committee. He said presidents don’t have to testify. Now we have the ‘Clinton rule,’ which is Presidents and their family have to testify when Congress issues a subpoena. And that means that Donald Trump needs to come before our committee and explain what he knew about Epstein and explain why we have not had a full release of the documents."
Raise Your hand if you agree that Melania trump should have to testify to the House Committee investigating the Epstein files, especially since they subpoeanaed Hillary.
After all, Melania KNEW Epstein AND Ghislaine.
VERY WELL.

Crockett: "I don't really know where we are in this country. Why are we even having this conversation? The United States is falling apart right now, partially because he's allowing for the killings of people in the middle of the street, but the other part of it is we have a 34 count convicted felon and there are people that are still shielding him from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we are pretending like any of this is normal."

“Stand with us. Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi IT’S TIME FOR THE TRUTH”
Please share everywhere!
🚨NEW: Donald Trump has attacked USA Olympic skier Hunter Hess on social media, calling him a “real loser” for expressing concern about the murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by ICE.
RETWEET if you stand with Hess against Trump!
.@BrettFavre With all due respect to one of the greatest QBs ever — I didn’t grow up knowing where the Packers played, what Lambeau Field was, or why people proudly wear cheese on their heads 🧀😄.
I watched. I learned. And now I get it.
That’s how @NFL football works. And honestly, that’s how the Super Bowl halftime show works too. It’s not about only watching what you already know — it’s about discovering what millions of your fellow Americans already love.
Bad Bunny isn’t “foreign” to the Super Bowl — he is America too 🇺🇸🇵🇷🎶. Different sounds, same country, same game.
The Super Bowl is big enough for frozen fields, cheese hats, country music… and Spanish lyrics.
That’s not losing tradition. That’s America showing how big the tent really is. 🏈❤️
And you should try Tembleque, Alcapurrias and Mofongo! Don’t be sad, be happy!
President Obama and Michelle Obama are brilliant, compassionate and patriotic Americans. They represent the best of this country.
Donald Trump is a vile, unhinged and malignant bottom feeder.
Why are GOP leaders like John Thune continuing to stand by this sick individual?
Every single Republican must immediately denounce Donald Trump’s disgusting bigotry.
A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.
Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.
🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents are proving once again that they are not targeting violent criminals…
They are targeting children and families.
On Sunday, agents were caught illegally operating in Minneapolis public parks, in direct violation of city orders, and then tear-gassing spaces designed for kids and families.
This happened at Powderhorn Park.
In the video, ICE agents are seen aggressively driving into the parking lot of a public park, on a Sunday… a day when families and children regularly sled, play, and gather there.
U.S. citizens are already in the park. They begin recording and blowing whistles.
An ICE agent then chases a U.S. citizen through the park, tackles him to the ground, and handcuffs him.
While that’s happening, other agents begin deploying tear gas, throwing canisters at U.S. citizens who are nowhere near them, filling the parking lot and the park itself with smoke.
Tear gas causes respiratory distress, burning eyes, nausea, and panic… effects that are especially dangerous for children.
And agents illegally deployed chemical agents anyway, in an open public park, with families nearby.
That is excessive use of force, and child endangerment.
And they did all of it while being explicitly prohibited from operating in the park in the first place…
The Minneapolis Mayor’s Executive Order 2025-02 bans civil immigration enforcement staging on city property.
On January 7th, 2026, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board unanimously passed a resolution aligning with that order, explicitly prohibiting ICE from staging or operating in parks.
ICE did it anyway.
And it didn’t stop there…
Later, that same day, around 12:45 PM, ICE agents were seen sitting in Folwell Park, another public park.
A woman approaches them, calmly cites the order, and tells them they are not allowed to be there and need to leave.
ICE/Border Patrol are choosing spaces where children gather instead of places where actual crimes occur, then responding to public scrutiny by assaulting civilians and deploying chemical weapons.
If ICE/Border Patrol are willing to do this in broad daylight, on a Sunday, in front of families, while being filmed, after being explicitly told they are not allowed to be there…
Then they are not enforcing the law.
They are endangering children and assaulting anyone who dares to exercise their First Amendment rights, and say that’s not okay.
