🚨 JUST IN: President Trump's White House is considering a plan to BUY the crucial Island of Diego Garcia and the Chagos Islands rather than allow the UK to "GIVE IT AWAY" to an Iran-China ally — Telegraph

YES, BUY IT!

We have a MILITARY base on Diego Garcia, don't give it to Mauritius!

"US officials have drawn up a proposal to bypass Britain and make its own deal to take control of Diego Garcia, the strategically important UK-US military base amid uncertainty about its future, The Telegraph understands."

Keir Starmer is an absolute FOOL trying to give away this land.

Take it for ourselves 🇺🇸

🚨🇬🇧 La policía ignoró a los inmigrantes que acosaban a una mujer en su casa y luego la amenazó con arrestarla por "odio racial" si denunciaba los hechos. Ahora, el hombre que lo expuso está esposado.

Una mujer fue acosada en su casa por inmigrantes. Acudió a la policía, pero no hicieron nada.

Cuando dijo que acudiría a la prensa, la amenazaron con arrestarla por "incitar al odio racial".

Un periodista ciudadano @ActivePatriotUK publicó información al respecto y fue arrestado por "comunicación maliciosa".

Lo retuvieron hasta las 11 de la noche, le confiscaron el teléfono y lo pusieron en libertad bajo fianza durante 3 meses con condiciones estrictas que no puede mencionar.

Esta es la realidad del Reino Unido hoy.

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

Senior figures at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, under the command of Andy Burnham, have cautioned firefighters who support Reform UK over their political views.

In a further chilling assault on free speech, staff have also effectively been urged in an email to report colleagues who support Reform.

Fire brigade bosses have also said they are seeking legal advice on what to do about firefighters who decide to stand as Reform UK candidates. This is despite the fact that, unlike police officers, there is no legal bar preventing firefighters from participating in national or local politics.

In their email, fire brigade bosses Mr Petch and Ms Ahmed said: ’We are aware that some staff members have chosen to represent Reform UK in their local areas. We know this may cause concern within our network and wider.

’The individuals involved have been spoken to, to make it clear that as members of GMFRS (Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service) our core values and professional behaviours must be displayed at all times.

’The service is currently seeking formal legal guidance… to ensure we are protected from all perspectives and that our inclusive culture remains safe.

‘Our priority is and always will be ensuring that every member of this network feels supported, respected and safe at work.’

They also confirmed that they would be consulting the Fire Brigades Union on the matter.

In his role as Mayor of Greater Manchester, @AndyBurnhamGM — who is also tipped by some to be a future Prime Minister if he wins the Makerfield by-election — is also Greater Manchester’s Fire Commissioner, responsible for overseeing the service.

General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young of Acton, has now written to Mr Burnham to raise concerns about the chilling effect this has on free speech.

Lord Young said that the ‘clear implication’ of the email from the fire brigade bosses was that ‘representing Reform UK constitutes an inherent threat to the institution’s culture and values and is to be treated as morally suspect’. He also highlighted that no action appears to have been taken against firefighters who support other political parties.

The letter also states: ‘Staff are further invited to report colleagues who support any groups that go against the service’s values, which effectively amounts to an instruction to inform on colleagues for their political beliefs.

’The email will create a chilling effect on the free speech of GMFRS employees who support Reform.

’The practical effect is that a public fire and rescue service governed by you is treating the lawful political activity of your electoral opponents as a reputational risk to their employer.

‘Regardless of whether this reflects your instruction, it reflects your governance; and a public office-holder who permits his institution to demonise or chill the speech and political activity of those who support his principal electoral rival cannot claim to be discharging that office with the impartiality it demands.’

✅ UK Dairies Confirmed as Bovaer‑Free
(Directly supported by the search results)

1. Edwards Dairies (UK)

✔ Publicly confirmed Bovaer‑free ✔ Independent, traditional production ✔ Not part of Arla, Müller, or supermarket supply chains

2. G&S Dairies (UK)

✔ Publicly confirmed Bovaer‑free ✔ Small, independent, transparent supply chain

These two are the only UK dairies explicitly named in the search results as having confirmed Bovaer‑free status.

🟩 Certified Organic Dairies (Guaranteed Bovaer‑Free)
Organic standards prohibit synthetic feed additives, including Bovaer. This is explicitly stated in the search results:

“Certified organic milk from any producer is guaranteed to be Bovaer‑free.”

This means every UK organic dairy is automatically Bovaer‑free, including:

Yeo Valley Organic
OMSCo (Organic Milk Suppliers Cooperative)

Riverford Dairy

Daylesford Organic

Berkeley Farm Dairy (Organic range)

Calon Wen Organic (Wales)

Duchy Organic (Waitrose)

Any local farm selling certified organic milk

If it is certified organic, it is 100% Bovaer‑free.

🟦 Small Local Dairies (Very Likely Bovaer‑Free)

The search results emphasise that:

“Small, independent, and local dairies are often the most reliable sources for Bovaer‑free milk.”

Why? Because they:

Don’t participate in Arla trials
Don’t supply supermarkets

Use traditional feed

Are transparent with customers
Examples (not explicitly named in the search results but consistent with the criteria):

Local farm‑gate milk vending machines

Micro‑dairies selling raw or pasteurised milk

Family‑run herds supplying village shops

Non‑organic but additive‑free small farms

These are almost always Bovaer‑free unless they explicitly join a methane‑reduction trial (rare).

🟥 Brands to Avoid if You Want Bovaer‑Free Milk

“Large multinational dairy companies like Arla Foods are involved in Bovaer trials… avoid their affiliated brands.”

This includes:

Arla (all standard milk)

Supermarket own‑brand milk supplied by Arla
Any retailer participating in Arla trials (Tesco, Aldi, Morrisons, M&S)

These are the most likely to shift to Bovaer Milk as standard.

VERY SOON...

This is a DISGRACE.

The brother of the Manchester Airport thugs the same animals who viciously beat the shit out of police officers is a policeman himself. Not only is he a police officer he has just been suspended over racism claims. Naz Hussain was a respected officer over 3 decades.

Even worse: their family had 6 members in the force who wrote character references defending these scum.

How the hell does a family of cop-beaters have SIX cop relatives vouching for them?

This is two-tier policing on steroids. Total corruption.
Daily Mail called it "A COMPLETE DISGRACE" and they’re right.

The whole system is rotten.

[Pete Sanford @PeteSanford]

ARLA WON -- YOU LOST - BOVAER SOON ALL MILK

After the Arla - DMK takeover last week a Huge New Milk Supply Monolith has been Formed.

This means Bovaer‑milk will quietly become the default “standard milk”, while organic milk becomes scarcer and more expensive.

AND YOU WILL NOT BE INFORMED ON LABELS

Why this matters now with the Arla–DMK merger:

This is where things get strategically interesting.

1. Arla is already the most aggressive adopter of Bovaer

They defended it publicly, continued trials, and positioned it as central to their climate strategy.

This means the merged entity is WILL scale Bovaer faster, not slower.

2. DMK brings Germany — a huge dairy market — into the equation

The merger forces a harmonised methane strategy, and Bovaer is the only ready‑to‑deploy tool.

CONSUMERS: Exoect Organic Milk to be Priced out of the Market, not just UK, not just EU, but there will be plans through those financially involved, like Bill Gates, to get BOVAER in Animal Feeds as the de facto position.

And before Mr Gates Operatives on X start to argue:

The Company holding Bovaer Trademarks is DSM-Firmenich -- The Gates Foundation holds extensive shareholdings in this Company.

From Scottish Parliamentary Briefing Papers re Nicola Sturgeon's involvement...

"There also seems to be some information hidden from public view, such as DSM-Firmenich denying any connection with Bill Gates, only for us to discover Bill Gates has purchased 1m shares in the Company, with the major investor behind the scheme, Black Rock"

There will also be price differentiation between Bovaer Milk and Non-Bovaer.

OF COURSE TEN YEARS FROM NOW THERE WILL BE ZERO CHOICE - JUST BOVAER.

For the Arla–DMK giant, this means:

They will push Bovaer harder than ever — because climate targets demand it.

They must avoid another consumer revolt — because the merged brand is too big to hide.

They will likely invest heavily in “green dairy” PR, transparency dashboards, and retailer‑aligned messaging.

Any future health concerns (even unfounded ones) will hit twice as hard because of their scale.

LACK OF CHOICE, LACK OF TRANSPARENCY, PUBLIC REJECTION

We’re sleepwalking into a food system where the public has no real choice at all.

Supermarkets are quietly shifting to “low‑methane milk” using feed additives like Bovaer — and most people don’t even know it’s happening.

There’s no clear labelling.
There’s no public documentation.

There’s no way for families to choose milk without these additives unless they pay organic prices or hunt down tiny local suppliers.

And here’s the truth nobody in the industry wants to say out loud:

Even if every analysis says “no harm”, even if regulators approve it, even if the science is solid…

The public still won’t want it if they feel tricked.

People want transparency.

People want choice.

People want to know what’s going into the food chain — not find out years later through a press release.

This isn’t anti‑science. This isn’t anti‑farmer.

This is about trust.

If the industry keeps rolling out feed additives without open discussion, clear labelling, or public consent, they’re going to trigger a backlash far bigger than they expect.

Choice matters. Transparency matters. Trust matters.

And right now, the public is getting none of them.

MANY FARMERS DO NOT WANT CHEMICALS OF ANY KIND PUT INTO ANIMAN FEED AND THEN INTO THE HUMAN FOOD CHAIN..

Because. It. Is. Insane...

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

You are wrong. It was a petition raised by myself on behalf of our independent rape gang inquiry, and signed by 260,974 British men and women.

Their support meant we forced the topic onto the parliamentary agenda.

It is 'opened' by Jamie Stone because he is Chair of the Committee, as you well know. It has nothing to do with the Liberal Democrats, it is his duty to chair it.

What you are saying is inaccurate.

Last time we had an event in Parliament for rape gang survivors to engage with MPs, you didn't bother to show up.

You were invited. I asked for your support. You ignored me.

Labour MPs took the time to attend, Reform did not.

You posted a picture of yourself drinking alcohol instead.

MPs from various parties have supported our efforts - putting aside petty political differences to tackle this festering rape gang scandal.

It is a disgrace that you refuse to do the same.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

The Knepp Estate in West Sussex is the most famous rewilding project in Britain. It is on Springwatch, in the broadsheets, in a bestselling book. It is the place everyone points to when they want to show you what the land does the moment humans step back and stop farming it. Look at the nightingales, the purple emperors, the storks. Proof, apparently, that we should get the animals off the land and let it go wild.

There is one problem with using Knepp this way. You have to never look at what is standing in the fields.

Knepp is full of animals. Deliberately, by design, as the entire point.

When Charlie Burrell and Isabella Tree gave up on intensive farming around 2000, on heavy Sussex clay that had run the estate £1.5 million into debt, they did the reverse. They brought more animals in, of more kinds, took down seventy miles of fencing, and let them roam. Old English longhorn cattle. Tamworth pigs. Exmoor ponies. Red, fallow and roe deer. Stand-ins for the wild aurochs, boar and horses we wiped out long ago. Their grazing, browsing, trampling, rootling and dung is the engine that builds the whole mosaic of scrub and wood pasture the rare birds need. Too few animals and it chokes into dense woodland. Too many and it flattens to bare grass. The cattle are the reason the nightingale is there at all.

And Knepp does not leave nature to it. There are no wolves in Sussex, so the herds would breed until they ate the place bare. So Knepp culls them every autumn. The deer are shot by a licensed stalker. The cattle and pigs go to a small organic abattoir. Knepp calls this, without flinching, stepping into the role of the missing apex predator.

A managed herd, grazing grass, culled before winter for meat. There is a word for that, and it is a very old one.

Then comes the part that should end the argument outright. They sell the meat. Knepp Wild Range: an online butchery and a restaurant, longhorn beef aged on the bone for weeks, Tamworth pork off pigs fattened on autumn acorns, venison, charcuterie cured in house. Heston Blumenthal calls the longhorn the best beef in the world. Knepp markets the lot as the most sustainable meat you can buy, and its own website argues, in words any carnivore would recognise, that pasture-fed meat is good for you and that grazing ruminants are one of the best carbon sinks on the planet.

So Britain's flagship rewilding project is a former arable farm, gone broke under the plough, rescued by swapping the crops for free-roaming cattle, pigs, ponies and deer, then counting them, culling them, and selling them as premium grass-fed steak.

This is the thing held up as the case for taking animals off the land.

Post a Knepp turtle dove with a caption about what nature does once we stop eating meat, and you have it exactly upside down. The turtle dove is sponsored by the longhorn. The green cathedral was built by a herd of cattle, and paid for, in part, by selling the surplus as steak.

None of which means we should turn all of Britain into Knepp. We shouldn't. It grows a fraction of the food the land could, and nobody lives on nightingales. But on the one principle it actually demonstrates, it is unanswerable, and it is the precise principle the people quoting it want dead. Put the grazing animals back and the wildlife pours in. Take them away and it drains out.

The poster child for the end of livestock is a working meat farm.

Go and read its menu.
