[ESN Report @ES_News_]

Pitch black. Severe storm raging at Aberavon Beach.

Around 21:40 hours on 11 December 2025, six South Wales Police officers responded to a missing person call...

PC Molly Cana located the 66-year-old woman trapped upside down between the wave breakers and the pier. Powerful waves were repeatedly submerging her.

With no specialist kit available, the team formed a human chain. Aided by her son-in-law, they got a throw rope around her ankle and pulled her clear through the dangerous surf.

They gave immediate first aid until their colleagues in the emergency ambulance service arrived.

She survived with serious injuries, thanks to their quick actions.

The six officers – PC Molly Cana, Special Constables Colin Davies and David Bird, PCs Robert Morgan and Daniel Davies, and Sergeant Paul Bamsey – have all been nominated for bravery awards. BUT, I bet you heard nothing about this life-saving story in the MSM...which is why we are sharing the story here.

This could have ended very differently. Outstanding 999 teamwork in the worst possible conditions.

Just had a letter delivered, confirming I've secured a job at Royal Mail.

I start last Monday.

These 3 women have VERY important jobs within His Majesty’s Government.
Their titles:-
Home Secretary
Minister for Safeguarding & Violence against Women and Girls.
Minister for Victims & Violence against Women and Girls.
ALL 3 Voted AGAINST a Rape Gang Inquiry!!!!!
Not one of them have responded to letters I have written on behalf of The Pink Ladies movement. Not one of them have reached out to Rhiannon’s, Katies, Lily’s or Stephanies families and not one have publicly discussed or acknowledged the fact that the UK is now the Official Rape Capital of Europe!!! With some charities saying they are “Overwhelmed” by victims. Shabana Mahmood said in May 2025 there would be a “moment of reckoning” when asked about the thousands of British girls raped by mainly Pakistani rape gangs up and down this country… NOTHING! This is so so wrong.. and I’m sure that everyone reading this post will be as disgusted, furious outraged and frankly as devastated as I am by what this country has become!Absolute and total disgrace.
GET LABOUR OUT !!!!!!!! @Keir_Starmer @ShabanaMahmood @jessphillips @AlexDaviesJones @pinkladies_uk @SarahForRuncorn

Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent💜
Many Christians receive the Sign of the Cross on their foreheads made from the ashes of the palms from last year's Palm Sunday✝️
This cross is a sign of repentance and a desire to turn away from any wrongdoings in their lives💜

[Hedgehog Cabin @HedgehogCabin]

We tend to judge all animal behaviour by what we've learned about those we know - our pets. They are our only frame of reference.
So when we see a hedgehog out in the day, even if we've read somewhere that this means they are seriously ill, we like to prove ourselves right - offer food, see if she eats.
Yes! She's eating, so must be okay, just hungry, right? WRONG!
Wild animals are completely different to domesticated animals. They have a survival imperative to eat, even when dying, because there's no telling when they may find food again.
This has been bred out of our domesticated animals.
So appetite is NOT an indicator of heath.
You can only tell a hedgehog is ill because of their abnormal behaviour.
As nocturnal animals, being out in the day is abnormal - no matter how 'healthy' they look.
Once out in the day they are dying.
It's an emergency.
They need urgent treatment from a good rescue (never a vet).
This example is from last year, but it's still happening now, today:

Poor dear Henry was seen out in the day.
He 'looked' normal, so was fed and left.
On day 2 he came out again.
By now he was walking a lot slower.
The finder emailed me (see below - sadly I get an email like this almost daily).
Emails and messages are for non-emergencies only. Like all rescues I have to triage my work, there simply aren't enough hours in some days, and messages often sit for 2 or 3 days before I have time to read them.
A hog out in the day is an emergency.
You need to phone and speak to a rescue, immediately, that same day.
Luckily for Henry I skim read my messages, just in case of emergencies like this.
Yet it was another 24 hours before the finder read my urgent reply.
If you regularly follow a hedgehog rescue and know all this stuff inside out, it's easy to judge these finders. But they are good, kind, intelligent people, and were just doing what is advised on hundreds of wrong and misinformed websites.
Including sites you'd think you could trust.
As soon as I spoke to them and explained the urgency, they had no hesitation in driving the hour and a half round trip from Windsor to get the casualty here.
This poor darling, the dear boy who would have been left to his own devices, is Henry.
Henry is old (hogs can live as long as dogs, but most are lucky to see their 3rd birthday).
The brown pigmentation on his nose and feet has completely worn away, leaving them pink. His eyes and ears are full of mites and ticks (the mites look like grains of sand in the photo).
His thin, fragile chest is full of lungworm so breathing is difficult for poor Henry.
His tummy is full of roundworm, so no matter how much he eats he can't get any nourishment from the food, so is slowly starving to death.
At his age he should weigh well over a kilo.
But Henry is so sick, this poor sweet old man weighs just 451g.
You can see all of this because you're looking at a still, close up photo and I'm pointing it out to you.
A quick glance of Henry out on the lawn would reveal nothing out of the ordinary.
Sick hedgehogs don't always look sick.
But the fact they are out in the day tells you that they are.
Henry's prognosis was extremely poor. But after intensive treatment here he miraculously survived, and after 2 months recuperation he was released back home, to the wild.
But there are many others who aren't so lucky.
Please spread this information as far as you can, in the hopes we can save other little Henrys out there.

Thinking of getting a cat?

Visit a shelter and ask which cats are at risk of being overlooked.
One of them might be waiting for you.

Born without a heartbeat at just 23 weeks and given only a 1% chance to survive, Derick Hall defied all odds — thanks to his mother’s relentless fight for his life.

Now, 24 years later, the Seattle Seahawks linebacker is suiting up for Super Bowl LX on Sunday!

He is the founder of the Derick Hall One Percent Foundation, which supports preemies and their families.

Every life deserves that fighting chance.
