Natural England wants to remove 90% of Dartmoor’s ponies.
Our Exmoor ponies are next. These animals have been here for thousands of years.
A government quango, destroying the countryside and its heritage.
What I’d like to know is how come in Britain 24°C feels like a sauna but 19°C feels like we’re back to winter. Men were topless in the supermarket a week ago, today everyone’s back in jumpers and big coats. Last week I’m browsing air conditioning units on the Argos website, this week I’ve put my heating back on! Ridiculous country. 😂
Sweet Slumber for this #WednesdayWonder.

Furious farmer sprays dozens of luxury cars with thick cow slurry after drivers ignored signs and illegally parked in his field during the scorching Bank Holiday heatwave.
The chaos unfolded near Rydal Water in the Lake District, Cumbria, where at least 20 vehicles, including Mercedes, Jaguars and BMWs, were left covered in manure.
Clear signs reading “Polite Notice, DO NOT PARK IN THE FIELD” and “SHEEP IN FIELD” were completely ignored, with drivers even moving rocks that had been placed to block access.
The farmer drove his slurry tanker up and down the field, calmly hosing down every car in the baking heat.
Cumbria Police have confirmed they were called and are investigating, but many locals are saying the drivers got exactly what they deserved.
Classic case of “park like an idiot, pay the price.”
Do you think he did the right thing?
What British people have in their freezers:
-Frozen peas (some in a bag, some rolling around loose)
-Full bag of oven chips
-Another bag with three oven chips left in it
-Tupperware half-filled with unidentified brown stuff
-Half a scoop of mash potato that you saved for some reason
-An empty box that used to contain ice lollies that fools you every time you look in it but you still don’t throw it away
-Bag of hash browns
-Some sort of meat joint (possibly lamb) from 2014
-A near-empty ice cream tub
-Something that might be chilli or might be bolognese but you didn’t label it
-Some party food from three Christmases ago
-An empty bag that used to contain ice cubes
-A pack of chicken or fish that you needed to eat but you chucked it in the freezer because you ordered a takeaway instead
-One drawer that doesn’t open anymore
This is what entitlement looks like! 🤬
There are nesting waterbirds on this pond on Hampstead Heath... there are also big 'No Swimming' signs, all being totally ignored! 🤬
Pure selfishness... 😒🤬🤬
