I'm fuming to read this! 🤬
Year in and year out this kind of crap happens in the summer, when most birds are already breeding, not just with Swifts, but with all birds! 😒
Birds and their nests are protected by law, but the law is clearly inadequate and is riddled with loopholes that councils, builders, farmers... anyone really, can exploit. 😡
Yet still some wonder why the UK is the most nature depleted place on earth...

Apparently I'm too emotionally connected to foxes to comment about modern farming practices destroying our wildlife. Nothing to do with washing our countryside with Neonics, thugging hedgerows, spreading infected shit across fields. No, it's all the fox and badgers fault.
We can confirm the names of the three Royal Navy personnel who tragically lost their lives during a helicopter training exercise on 3 June:
Lt Cdr Chris Gayson, 42, Somerset
Lt Lily-Mae Fisher, 31, Surrey
PO Owen Green, 24, Hampshire

Fuck about & Find Out comes to mind; so many gobshites about; “you take off that badge & you have no power” A Constable when sworn in has police powers 24/7 yes even when they are Nude!!
I hope that helps!!
Well done BTP taking no nonsense from loud mouths 👏
El efecto de un solo árbol en la calle es equivalente a cinco aires acondicionados del tamaño de una habitación funcionando 20 horas al día. Si nuestra ciudad se llenara de calles como esta la vida en verano sería mucho más agradable.

In 2020, damning recordings were released in which senior hunters openly admitted that “trail hunting” is used as a smokescreen for the illegal hunting of wildlife.
They confirmed what we already knew - that after the Hunting Act 2004 became law, hunts continued killing as they had before.
This is our chance to end hunting once and for all.

HEARTBREAKING: Her 10-month-old baby was cut in half with a knife in front of her, her husband shot dead, and she watched them split her second child's skull with a machete. They also cut off one of her hands.
This is life for Christians in Nigeria. The media remains silent.
Ireland is now being threatened by a Russian oligarch owned company which is exporting huge amounts of alumina to Russia, used to kill Ukrainian civilians.
We need Alumina sanctions immediately and we need to kick this company out of Europe entirely.

STUBB: Ukrainians eliminating 35,000 Russian soldiers per month, launching more drones and missiles into Russia than vice versa. Ukraine reclaiming territory, striking deeper into Russia. Popularity of war in Russia is shrinking. Tides are actually turning and Ukraine is on top.
Russia is now threatening other nearby countries far more openly than before. Every neighbor of Russia heard what was said about Armenia, whose people are the only ones who have the right to decide and will choose the future of their country. What Russia says about Armenia is, in truth, not about Armenia alone.
No one can be left without support – Europe has no right to lose any of its peoples, to leave any country behind. Armenia must be supported. Moldova must be supported. The Baltic states. Azerbaijan must be supported. We must find ways to support the people of Georgia as well – and this is a shared European task. No one can be lost.
7,000 farming related businesses have closed since Labour came into power in 2024.
When a farmer goes out of business, a piece of rural heritage disappears.
When thousands of farms go out of business, a nation starts gambling with something far more important than economics.
It’s food supply.
Yet another glaring example of how utterly failed the water industry is. All it took was one hot weekend and not one but two water companies have been brought to their knees, incapable of doing the most basic job possible, supplying their customers with water.
And we tolerate this nonsense.
Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the crew of the @ScotAirAmb last night for flying out to Arran to collect my dad after he suffered a stroke yesterday. They safely got him across the water to the mainland. A long day for this crew no doubt, yet they came for him. I hope this tweet makes it back to them. As a fellow helicopter crew gal, I hope you know how much what you do matters to people. 🙏🫶 dad is talking now, but a long road ahead 😔😢
