@prodnose I managed to get the actual shepherd for £8.57. Now I’m moving to Kashmir.

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs

a year ago

I 🧡 sensible lawyers as much as I🧡principled politicians. Right now, we need both fully engaged, 200% committed, to stopping the genocide. All eyes must remain on Gaza, where children are dying of starvation in their mothers’ arms, while their fathers and siblings are bombed into pieces while searching for food. ENOUGH. Send navies. Break the siege. Together, we can. Together, we must.

By sanctioning a UN Special Rapporteur, the US may be in violation of the 1946 Convention on Privileges and Immunities of the UN. As an expert on UN mission, SR Albanese is entitled to immunity from legal process of any kind. Which UN member will take the US to the ICJ over this?

I’ve just switched from #skynews to #bbcnews and the first image I see is that jug eared twat from Reform. I’m guessing they’ve not discussed James McMurdock and the alleged Covid bounce back loan fraud. It’s all promotion and no scrutiny. #politicslive

Farage pulled a stunt in the Channel for GB News and magically it also appeared on BBC News. Yet there's an Opposition party with 72 MPs, rather than just 4, whose views on the topic were not solicited by the BBC. #BBCNews @BBCNews

Great to see the Vatican News covering the story of Israeli settler attacks on Taybeh—the only entirely Christian village in the West Bank.

teasels are so easy, biennial but once self seeding you get them for free continually, trap water in their leaf joints so handy for small critters, seeds feed birds, & flowers seem loved by almost every insect

Last week Matt Hancock told us that only 'campaign groups' like ours care about his lie that a protective ring was thrown around care homes during the pandemic. We don't think that's true. 🧵

If you find a grounded swift, it needs expert & urgent help. Please contact me so I can link to rehabber. These birds can’t easily take off from the ground & in hot weather, chicks who 👀 like this aren’t quite able to fly & often are pushed or jump out of their nests.

Israeli settlers set fire to a Church that stood for 15 centuries, along with a Byzantine Christian cemetery in Taybeh, Palestine — a village where Christians have lived since the time of Jesus. Israel is destroying Palestinian Christian heritage. Not a peep from Western media.

“Oi, have you got a licence for that pond?” The Environment Agency have now taken time out of their busy schedule of ignoring environmental crime to pay me a visit & threaten me with prosecution for creating a pond without a permit. It would almost be funny if it wasn’t so infuriating. @EnvAgency have done pretty much nothing over the last decade to help restore the ecology along the Roding that they & their predecessor (the National Rivers Authority) have helped to destroy. But when a group of volunteers fundraise money & put in time & effort to do their job for them, they threaten to prosecute them for it. This threat is made even more ridiculous by the catalogue of dozens of serious environmental crimes (from huge illegal sewage spills to dumping thousands of tonnes of waste in the river) that I have reported to the Environment Agency on the Roding & which they have done absolutely nothing about. I will not by swayed or moved from my mission to protect & restore the river I love by the interference of useless bureaucrats who have utterly failed in the role of caring for the river which they are paid to do.

With the hot weather we’ve been having this summer, the local insects, birds & wildlife have really been appreciating the newly completed pond beside the River Roding in Barking. I had the idea for creating one of the largest ponds alongside the river in January, & this pond

If the update isn’t that you’re now in the South Atlantic clinging onto a penguin for dear life and surrounded by tiger seals then don’t bother.

So we are now on day two of our Season of Anti-Social behaviour with the BSV and it's the familiar sight of hunt staff holding up traffic on the A30 while hounds search nearby. It's something that will feature heavily in later posts. Maybe @ASPolice and @dorsetpolice could explain why it's being allowed. Pic courtesy of @NDHuntSabs.

@RobertJenrick You’ve forgotten to mention the primary reason for the record backlogs (as Leveson’s report emphasised) - the chronic lack of funding for criminal justice, including the cuts that you so enthusiastically supported. You owe the public an apology. Do better, Honest Bob.
