She was the one that hid the knife but the Brother and Dad played as much a part at covering this all up. They should all be charged

Around the country, a huge tree planting programme of our most important native tree is underway. But no bureaucrat decreed it in a policy paper, & it relies on no government funding. This mass planting is being carried out by nature herself.

2025 was a ‘mast year’ for acorns. In order to have the best chance of reproducing, some trees like oaks all produce a huge amount of acorns in the same year. This sheer abundance overwhelms creatures like squirrels that snack on the nuts, as they simply can’t eat them all.

Now, in woodlands & fields across the country, we see the results of this self-directed tree planting. Huge carpets of baby oaks that in some places are so thick they look like a grassy green lawn. I’ve honestly never seen so many oak saplings in my lifetime & this scene is all the more incredible given the oaks somehow knew to coordinate their reproduction like this.

"Southern Water apologises after Winchester milestone removed."

So there's a mile stone on the Andover Road just outside Winchester, it's been there for 100s of years, guess who digs it up and then dumps it along with a load of other building waste in the local landfill?

Yep, step forward Southern Water.

This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby @denbypottery

Did you know that the first women to land on the Normandy beachhead in June 1944 were nurses of Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Nursing Service?

Their task was to establish a field hospital for 600 wounded soldiers.

They succeeded.

Please remember these heroines who saved lives:

A 50 year old dad of three. A man who served his country and was simply standing off to the side watching events unfold. Gets set upon by a bunch of hyper violent thugs from the hive of wokery that purports to be a police force.
The vile and disgusting @HantsPolice

It is crystal clear Hampshire that you have a culture of callous cruelty. Those disgusting thugs should be in the cells right now, next to their cruel heartless colleagues who handcuffed Henry and watched him die.

You have no right to call yourselves police. You are despicable tyrants.

A 50yo dad-of-three military veteran with 13 pins in his ankle, but that didn’t stop a dozen police officers beating the hell out of him.

Melia has a new daughter. She might too young for solids, but that doesn't stop her giving it a good go.

Earlier this week, ex-orphan Melia walked up to our Ithumba Reintegration Unit in northern Tsavo and introduced her brand new baby girl to Head Keeper Benjamin and the team. We've named her Moon.

Moon is Melia's second – little sister to her firstborn Milo, who was born outside the same stockades back in 2022. The new arrival is bold and full of character.

Melia came into our care as a yearling in 2009, alone and far from any wild herd. Seventeen years on, she's a mother of two, living wild – and still bringing her family home to say hello.

Follow @SheldrickTrust for more from Moon and our wild-born family.

#AlexCoughlan Has Been Laid To Rest On His Birthday

In a cruel twist of fate, Alex Coughlan has been laid to rest on his 38th birthday (May 30th, 2026). This specific date was incidental, as his loved ones did not have Alex returned to them until Friday May 29th.

RTE were in attendance this morning. No other media appeared to be present. RTE's attendance felt like a box-ticking exercise: standing, arms folded, across the carpark of Stafford's funeral home in Ballyfermot, gazing at the mourners gathered, as a faded Irish flag flew on a pole nearby, tethered by a single cable tie.

They reported little on the touching aspects of what was to be a celebration of Alex's life. The omissions feel calculated and in keeping with the lack of overall coverage of Alex's death. They published a short, dispassionate article about what was an incredibly moving service. I have, at the time of writing this piece, found no other articles online about the funeral itself—not even a mere mention today that it was taking place.

The service for Alex was open to all, and this fact further indicates that what RTE and other media have not reported illustrates a lack of respect and a desire to conceal, as opposed to a desire to honour privacy.

In the wake of his passing, RTE (purposely?) reported inaccurate details, leading to incorrect speculation and victim-blaming (which caused further unnecessary pain for his loved ones) around the circumstances of the day Alex left his home (and did not return until yesterday, where he lay in repose).

Now, that is quite enough about the government's mouthpiece.

Today is about Alex. Mourners were asked to make May 30th Alex's day. Everyone who gathered was asked to sing "Happy Birthday." As tears are not usually seen when singing "Happy Birthday," it was a well-wish like no other, for a human being who, for many there, was like no other. The words were sung in a heartfelt manner, with the sad realisation that he should be here celebrating.

The backdrop behind the casket (with a single red rose upon it) was the Irish tricolour with lighting that subdued the green, white, and orange as it stood, standing in silent guard, as Alex made his final departure.

Pictures and clips of a smiling Alex and his family, friends, and significant life events played throughout the service. He was spoken of as the glue that held his family together. It was clear Alex was a shining and guiding light in the lives of many. The celebrant spoke of the necessity to ensure that the circumstances leading to Alex's untimely departure be prevented, so that no family ever has to suffer such a loss again.

In the final minutes, all who gathered were asked to sing "Ireland's Call" as family members carried Alex's coffin upon their shoulders past the crowd. He had been a proud Ireland rugby supporter in life.

It goes without saying, an abundance of tears fell throughout the service, but particularly during singing. Upon leaving, people were asked to have a shot of his favourite tipple in Alex's honour (Jameson and Coke) as they made their way out.

Alex was brought to Glasnevin Cemetery for a private cremation.

If you are reading this, raise a toast for Alex today, who will be forever young at 38.

"Ireland’s Call

From the four proud provinces of Ireland Ireland, Ireland Together standing tall Shoulder to shoulder We'll answer Ireland's call

"Welcome to sewage-on-sea: Britain's most fashionable tourist hotspot Whitstable is being despoiled by floods of effluent pouring into the ocean, just as the taps in homes and businesses run dry."

People in Whitstable and Kent really do get it from both ends, your sewage is dumped on to local beaches and your tap water gets cut off simply because the water company can't keep your supply running. Bloody hell.

“I don’t give a shit what your system is, what does it mean for the river?”

I genuinely never thought I would have to challenge the British state in order to protect the river I love, but here we are. Massive thanks to Channel 4 for spending so much time & care in detailing the incredible work done by volunteer river guardians on the River Roding: I am going to use the description of us descending on litter like a “squadron of community-minded locusts” again!

Whilst I no longer shocked at the indifference of public bodies like the EA & local councils to the desperate plight of our rivers, it has genuinely surprised me that @EnvAgency thinks it is a good use of their powers to prosecute volunteers for doing their job for them by restoring rivers, especially when there are serious illegal sewage discharges nearby that they have done nothing about. Please withdraw your prosecution threats EA & work with us instead. The Roding could genuinely be a test case in how government & river guardians can work together to protect & restore our rivers.

“The idea that a man could be ‘perceived’ as potentially pregnant was first presented to me during the Tickle v Giggle submissions in 2023. It sounded as stupid then as it does now. The difference is that more Australians are finally listening.”
