A load of pointless waffle below - climate change can’t be mentioned because GBNews and Reform are funded by the fossil fuel industry.
Seems @Alexarmstrong and @DawnNeesom are in denial of what’s coming even though it’s happening in front of their eyes https://t.co/iGbriMmtcA

A tenant farmer in the Cairngorms says land that sold for £500 an acre a few years ago now goes for £5,000. He is being moved off ground his family has worked for generations, because he cannot outbid the people buying it. The buyers are corporations, and they have no intention of farming a single acre of it.

Here is how the trick works. A company keeps emitting carbon exactly as before. Same factories, same flights, same supply chain, same product. Then it buys a Scottish hillside, plants some trees, and announces to the world that it is now carbon neutral, or, if it is feeling brave, carbon negative. The emissions never fell. It simply bought a landscape to point at.

Take BrewDog. In 2020 it bought a 9,300-acre Highland estate, propped up with public grant money, and promised a million trees and the crown of the world's first carbon negative beer business, removing twice the carbon it emitted, forever. By 2023 roughly half of the 500,000 trees it had managed to plant were dead, killed by drought, with critics noting the planting was drying out the peat and releasing carbon of its own. The advertising regulator ruled its carbon-negative claims misleading. In 2024 it quietly dropped the badge and dismissed the entire carbon credit market as a flood of cheap schemes whose benefit was "questionable, maybe even non-existent." Then it sold the estate to a firm whose actual business is selling carbon offsets.

That is the whole model in one story. Public money in. Dead trees out. A green halo worn for four years and then dropped. The farmer who used to be on that land, gone. The hillside passed to a company that exists purely to sell other people the right to keep polluting.

This is no fringe case. In one recent year, half of every estate sold in Scotland went to investment funds, corporations and charitable trusts rather than anyone who would farm it. A third of the deals for plantable land are now done off-market, in secret, precisely so the local community never gets the chance to bid.

So this is what net zero looks like on the ground. A man who produced food is priced out of his own glen. A corporation that produced emissions buys the glen, calls itself a force for good, and sells the carbon. The land stops feeding anyone. Nobody's emissions actually went down by a gram.

The food was real. The farmer was real. The carbon saving is a line in a slide deck.

And we have somehow decided the villain in all this is the man with the sheep.

The UK government is colluding with Israel to imprison its own citizens. Four young people could soon be sentenced as “terrorists” despite no such conviction.

What is “terrorist connection” sentencing?
It’s a scandal.

Join us on June 12th to oppose this.

Four years ago, Angus Rose sat outside Parliament for 37 days without food. His demand: all MPs should receive the same climate science briefing that had given Boris Johnson his "road to Damascus" moment.

He was prepared to die for his nieces' future. He won.

“You Arab whores… We will kill you, drink your blood, & rape your girls.”

This is what Maccabi Tel Aviv fans chanted in Stuttgart.

This is who our political and media elites demanded must rampage through Birmingham, smearing you as racist if you opposed it.

Israel’s continued participation in Eurovision allows it to cover up its crimes of genocide and apartheid. Join the Palestinian-led boycott and refuse to watch it or attend a screening this weekend! (1/6)

In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them.

Nigel Farage was heckled in London yesterday.
His response was that unlike other
Political parties, he welcomes all.

Now this is a lie. They banned me from their party conference in Birmingham last year.

[Israel Exposed @xIsraelExposedx]

A documentary detailing Israel's attacks on Palestinian doctors in Gaza, which was dropped by the BBC, was nominated on Tuesday for the Bafta TV awards.

Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - later aired by Channel 4 - documents Israel's attacks on Gaza’s hospitals and medical staff throughout its military campaign, laying out damning allegations that would amount to grave breaches of international law.

The programme follows Palestinian doctors and paramedics as they care for patients under bombardment, showing hospitals damaged or destroyed and staff forced to flee while patients were left under fire.
The documentary was produced by Basement Films and was originally commissioned by the BBC, which later decided not to broadcast it, saying airing the film “risked creating a perception of partiality that would not meet the high standards that the public rightly expect of the BBC”.

Following its withdrawal, Channel 4 acquired the documentary, broadcasting it after rigorous editorial checks, with its producers praising the network's “commitment to brave and fearless journalism".

The film also includes testimonies from medics who were detained, beaten, or tortured, and depicts the extraordinary efforts of doctors working with minimal resources under life-threatening conditions.

The 2026 TV Baftas will take place on Sunday 10 May 2026.

Save us from religious fanatics who fail to practice what they preach. If they loved their enemies and turned the other cheek we would be living in a different world. One where people mattered more than doctrine and politics.

Ban UK lawyers for Isreal from gagging our institutions & enforcing a rewrite of history. Palestine was there before them and it will be there after them. It’s time the failed apartheid state of Isreal was outlawed and made a pariah for its crimes against the people of Palestine.
