These are the scenes at Mercure Nottingham City Centre Hotel. Sickening use of deadly bird netting that ends up with birds trapped and starving to death. Police have been contacted.

Please sign the petition calling on the hotel to end the use of netting: protectthewild.org.uk/mercure-hote...

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.

This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

Greens deputy leader calls for apology from Starmer over false claims that led to death threats Mothin Ali fears for his life after anti-war protest was wrongly described as being in support of Iranian regime

When the Prime Minister spreads lies about people - there are consequences.

He's made some outrageous smears. It's debasing our politics.

Anything to try to quieten dissent about the US and Israel starting an illegal war.

My Ad Blocker just quit unexpectedly and I browsed a page or two.

How the hell does anyone use the Internet without an Ad Blocker these days. It was hideous.

The web page was misaligned with "things" everywhere and everything was so slow.

I highly recommend Adguard. Well worth the money.

So it’s happened.

The first arrest has now been made since the Public Order Act (2023) was amended to classify animal testing sites as β€œkey national infrastructure.”

This is Britain in 2026, where you can be arrested and detained simply for peacefully protesting against animal testing.

New broadband installed today... Openreach engineer drove off and it stopped working. Many calls and tears later, the engineer came back (wearing PJ's) and sorted it. A happy ending to a horrible tale.

If only I didn't need to sleep... too much to do and not enough hours in the day/night.

Just got in after a (shorter than normal) 10 hour shift, driving a lorry.
