Red Teaming Jersey

A platform to test the appetite for (and to encourage) strategic thinking and “red teaming” in Jersey.

Also, lots of posts of Springer Spaniels!

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

[Richard Negus @TrooperSnooks]

It should be an offence, punishable by a day in the stocks, for any politician to use the word "free" in connection to a policy funded by the taxpayer.

Also slightly embarrassed to be drinking Thatcher's cider?

Proud to share the best of the South West with @AmbJapanUK

And slightly embarrassed that the Japanese Ambassador can say “gert lush” in a better Bristolian accent than I can!

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.

Dartmoor’s wild ponies ‘at risk from Natural England eco-rules’. Breed numbers could face 93pc fall under proposals asking Commoners to cull livestock by 75 per cent https://t.co/kuzZPSJbTm

6. Their families’ servants
7. Their families’ servants’ tennis partners
8. Some chap I bumped into the mess the other day called Bernard

Slowly adding to the collection. Two very fine sticks (as always!) from @Norfolkstickman. The second a lovely and unexpected surprise! #walkingsticks #dartmoorwalks

[Rt. Hon Ben Wallace @BenWallace70]

It has been a consistent block by the Treasury that the MOD can have AUKUS subs or GCAP or major reductions in Army. But they cant have all three. We are about to witness a classic fudge that will lead to deep hollowing out. The Government is preparing to push GCAP to the right and string it out with incremental work and no clear guarantees to commit to it. They will be hoping that Japan ( who cannot tolerate an extended time line) will pull out and blame can be avoided. The authors of the SDSR were clear on the funding levels needed. £16/18bn over 4 years wont cut it.

[Friends of the British Overseas Territories @BritishOverseas]

Today, we celebrate the British Overseas Territories.

The British Overseas Territories are proud members of the British family and we celebrate their beauty, heritage and family bonds as we work together in tandem into the future.

Whatever one thinks of Blair, there's something astonishing in the fact that a former prime minister who entered Downing Street when I was two years old is more attuned to realities of modern Britain than the MPs now tasked with governing it. My latest Substack👇

[Red Teaming Jersey @redteamJSY]

@ColinSolomon63 @Voteje Most important is the right CM. Needs to be a true leader and able to gather a group of Ministers who will support the hard decisions necessary in the next 4 years without only caring about being popular. I actually dont have a name to mind of those who are likely CM candidates

[Red Teaming Jersey @redteamJSY]

A small pile of election flyers in the post this morning. One clear candidate for Senator and a probable parish Deputy.
