@katyballs That is a terrible appointment, what is she doing.

@eyeslasho The main thing I would worry about is the commentators getting captured by their Audience’s most extreme views. The attention economy creates a market force that encourages creators to appeal to more extreme views. Probs more a risk for JP & GS.

@VincentVanGrump @DrEilidhMaria The the public sector is poorly paid.

With all the usual dweebs crying Islamophobia, it’s worth remembering once again that this wasn’t always the norm, even amongst some on the left.

@LadyofCrypto1 Thanks 🙏🏻

@LadyofCrypto1 Tried to bridge to Manta - can find my ETH - gave up. Guess I should have waited for this video.

@RoryStewartUK It’s fantastic Rory accents included. But I have to admit, we did put it on to fall asleep to last week. 👀 sorry

@JohnSimpsonNews I look forward to seeing the popular movements against Hezbollah in Lebanon then. Peace rally perhaps?

I’m sure the Israelis also have ‘huge anxiety’ about the prospect of the 150,00 missiles pointing their direction.

Your tweet is glaringly bias.

@coldxman Come south and hit Tooting market

@JohnSimpsonNews God thats some serious fucking whataboutery. Hamas meet every definition of a terrorist group, not calling them such is taking sides.

It’s time to talk about sheep. The unavoidable truth is that sheep are the principal obstacle standing in the way of meaningful nature recovery in Britain’s national parks and other agriculturally marginal landscapes. There is no getting around it. The sheep have got to go.

It is because of forensic grazing by tens of millions of sheep that great swathes of Britain are largely of trees and scrub, and impoverished of wildflowers, birdsong, wildlife. Go and visit any of our national parks and you’ll see for yourself.

If it wasn’t for sheep, there would be little meaningful objection to the reintroduction of lynx, wolves, and other iconic but temporarily missing British species - the absence of which has triggered a parallel explosion in the number of deer, which only exacerbates overgrazing in what should be our most precious landscapes.

Sheep have a brutal impact on the hydrology of our landscapes, compacting the soil and expunging vegetation, thereby making soil erosion, flooding and seasonal drought ever more frequent and ever more severe and costing the country billions each year.

Sheep are not native to Britain. They come from the arid hills of Asia Minor. They must suffer terribly soaked through and exposed on our windy, wet hillsides year-round. The fact that even English acorns are toxic to sheep says it all.

Britons don’t eat much lamb or mutton. So why are our landscapes stuffed with sheep? Sheep farming is in economic terms hopelessly non-viable, propped up solely with taxpayer subsidies. The average age of sheep farmers creeps ever higher, while their net income (including subsidies) creeps ever lower. There are no winners, only losers.

Yes there is something of a tradition of keeping hefted sheep in some landscapes, but the numbers were dramatically lower than they are today. Perhaps half a million across all of Britain in early Victorian times. There are now more than thirty million! A few sheep as a hobby in some places, fine.

But what’s really needed is a fair and just transition across our sheep-wrecked landscapes back to extensive farming with native cattle, of the kind that once grazed and browsed in vibrant wood pastures across vast swathes of Britain.

Traditional silvopasture (cattle amid scrub and trees) really is a silver bullet if ever there was one.

I don’t buy lamb or mutton any longer. It’s not right. If people want to keep sheep, of course that’s their absolute right, but they should not be subsidised with public money for doing so.

@UKinUSA @OpenAI @USAinUK Fucking stop - it’s vomit inducing nonsense.

@thomaschattwill how to change your mind by Michael pollan - on the new science of psychedelics, fascinating.

[Tom Hamish @tomhamish]

@thomaschattwill Into thin air about the 1996 Everest disaster - but I’m probs about 20 years late to that book.

@mattwridley Been waiting for your rebuttal since I read the BBC article. Thanks for shedding a light on the poor journalism.

The ECHR didn’t do much in Bosnia, Crimea or Ukraine either but it’s jolly good at stopping a legal government implementing its manifesto pledges.

@we_are_sungod hi guys, I could be missing something, but I think the checkout function on your website is broken. I have entered my shipping and billing address - but there is no way to progress to pay.

@MaajidNawaz You’re America, you can put your top secret bio lab anywhere. You have the top scientists in the world. But you team up with Ukraine and decide to build one on the border next to arch nemesis Russia…. Yeah it adds up Maajid you loony.
