Thank you!!

The Black Death’s counterintuitive effect: as human numbers fell, so did plant diversity New study finds that plant biodiversity collapsed in landscapes where arable production was abandoned during and after the Black Death era.

This is fascinating

Ah - ok
I will catch it later on more4 then
Thank you

I can’t find it

It’s not 7 yet!
What’s the program called?

I’m beginning to understand why Gen Z is generally unenthusiastic about democracy
When all you have is a choice of various different idiots to vote for, why bother?
Especially when none of them honour electoral promises made to the public during elections
But are deeply stupid under pressure 👆🏻

I agree
Intensive farming and lousy animal welfare are unacceptable and unsustainable
I just have a different vision of what that change needs to be

Brexit felt like the UK committing national suicide.
Ot at least very serious self harm.
The USA’s war on Iran, repeating the spurious WMD claim also made to invade Iraq (a claim we all know is nonsense) feels like their version of the same phenomenon.
At least we didn’t kill anyone doing it.

No
Go low on high welfare animal products and support low intensive sustainable farming

Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.” – Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship Quakers in Britain, 5 March 2026

Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists.

STATEMENT: www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

What is it about non-violent protest that the govt fears so much that they have to raid a Quaker Meeting House? Again.
Perhaps having your complete loss of moral direction exposed is too uncomfortable.
Democracy dies without dissent.

Extraordinary graphic!

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

So Wales is the last place we should be rewilding!
Concentrate on Lincolnshire perhaps or the South East

“…many of the most biodiverse locations in Europe are those with a long history of low-intensity, mixed agriculture.
To rewild these human-formed landscapes may, paradoxically, risk eroding the biodiversity that conservationists seek to protect.”

DARVO as foreign policy.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

“Karoline Leavitt said in a statement ​to Reuters, “While the Department of War is currently investigating this matter, the Iranian regime targets civilians and children, not the United States ​of America.” “

Mussolini's heirs are in power in Italy, Macron and Merz are working to bring Pétain & Laval's and Hitler's heirs to power in France and Germany.

Franco's heirs are waiting in Spain and Salazar's in Portugal.

The only European project currently is restoration of Fascism.
