The funniest maths in modern environmentalism. One almond requires 12 litres of irrigated water to produce. Peer-reviewed, ScienceDirect, 2017. A glass of almond milk contains roughly 50 of them. 600 litres of water before the carton is filled. The water comes from the San Joaquin Valley in California, which sits over one of the most over-extracted aquifers on earth. The valley floor has subsided by up to nine metres in places due to groundwater depletion. The carton is then refrigerated, sailed across the Atlantic, refrigerated again, lorried to a Manchester Tesco, and bought by someone who is concerned about the environmental impact of dairy. Meanwhile, in Cheshire. A British dairy cow drinks roughly 70 to 100 litres of water a day and produces around 28 litres of milk. That's about 3.5 litres of water per litre of milk. The water is rainwater that fell on her field or came from a local stream fed by the same rainwater. The rain was going to fall on the field whether the cow stood in it or not. 80% of her moisture intake comes from the grass itself, which is also rain. She converts the grass, free of charge, into a litre of milk containing seven times the protein and four times the calcium of almond milk, and shipped roughly 18 miles to the same Tesco. To recap. 600 litres of stolen aquifer, flown halfway round the world for nutritionally worthless beige water. Or 3.5 litres of rain that was already falling, converted by an animal you can pet, into actual food. The shopper picks the almond. She has been told this is the ethical position. The aquifer would like a word.

This is a, frankly, an outrage. A small group of parishioners look after our 1,000 year old church on behalf of the country. It’s a core part of England’s built heritage, but funded solely by villagers, many doing so sacrificially. We get zero subsidy from the @churchofengland (who want to spend their money on reparations instead) and none from the UKG. So, when we raise £70k to redecorate the church later this year, as planned, we’ll need to find another £14k to pay tax. This shocking government should be ashamed of itself. I’m certainly ashamed of it.

From April 1, listed places of worship will have to bear the full cost of VAT on repairs. This brings to an end a system that has operated successfully for 20+ years. Local people will have to raise money not just to repair roofs and towers but to pay a 20% tax to the Government.

Christians in Nigeria never carried out massacres, never dug tunnels, never fired rockets, never took hostages, never started a war. They are simply a peaceful community, half of Nigeria’s population, who only wanted to live in peace. Yet they are relentlessly attacked by Islamic groups: their churches burned, their women and children slaughtered, their men massacred simply for being Christians. And what is the response of the world? Silence. World leaders in Europe stand with those who massacre, with those who hold hostages—they rush to recognize a state for them. But when it comes to Nigerian Christians? Not a word. No speeches at the UN. No condemnation of Nigeria for failing to protect its Christians. No ICJ cases. No international fundraisers. Where is the President of Colombia? Where is Brazil’s leadership? Where is Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron or Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer? Why do we never hear them speak about Nigerian Christians? Why is there no aid sent to them? Why no protests? Why no university demonstrations? Why no global outrage, no media coverage, no flotilla sailing for the persecuted Christians of Nigeria?

🌿 Why Removing Sheep from the Moor Is a Big Mistake 🐑 There’s growing pressure in some circles to remove sheep from our uplands — but let’s be clear: this would be a disaster for our moorlands, our farms, and the environment. Sheep are essential land managers. Without them, invasive species like bracken and ragwort quickly take over. These plants aren’t just a nuisance — ragwort and bracken can dominate the landscape, choking out native biodiversity. Moorlands and hill farms have been shaped by generations of careful grazing. Sheep help keep these landscapes open, healthy, and rich in native plants and wildlife. Take them away, and you don’t get “rewilding” — you get neglect. Support the farmers who know these hills best. Keep sheep on the moor. 🐏🌾 #SupportHillFarming #KeepSheepOnTheMoor #FarmingForNature #BritishFarming #WorkingLandscapes @NHSuk @NHSEngland

Stop plastering solar panels on thousands of acres of prime farmland. Put them in car parks and on roofs instead.

The Coldstream Guards Band performed Black Sabbath's masterpiece Paranoid outside of Buckingham Palace as a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne on the day of his funeral. Don't let anybody tell you this isn't a great country. householddivision.org.uk/musicians

It’s actually worse than I had originally feared. Read this report from @BarnabasAid - at least 34 murdered in DRC by Islamist extremists. Mainstream media barely covering it! barnabasaid.org/gb/news/at-lea…

Why is the M6 northbound from at least Sandbach J17 to Knutsford J19 down to 50 mph when there are no hazards, roadworks or heavy traffic? @NWmwaypolice

The Church of England commissioned a poll in the hope of finding The Lord’s Prayer was disliked by most church-goers and needed updating. To its horror, the vast majority of them love it just as it is. dailysceptic.org/2025/07/09/the…

@stakef1team_ks @HulkHulkenberg Well deserved, fantasitc drive!

@mocent0 Sweden, Estonia and Iceland for me.

On this day 40 years ago, 56 Bradford City and Lincoln City supporters went to a football match and never came home. We will never forget those who lost their lives in the Valley Parade Fire Disaster, and we stand with everyone who continues to be affected to this day. Forever remembered and forever in our hearts. 🎗️ #BCAFC

Christians are being massacred, and their women kidnapped, raped, and forcibly converted daily in Nigeria, Pakistan, Sudan, Egypt, Somalia, Libya, Eritrea, and Iraq. A few days ago, 70 Christians were beheaded inside a church in Congo, but mainstream media won’t report it!
