Kevin Maguire: "If you're put up in a hotel & you get meals you get £10/wk.. all these terrible myths.. free iPads.. myths & lies have gone mainstream & we've got to challenge them.. we've gone back to the worst aspects of the 1970s where racism is becoming mainstream"
Well said

In less than a week, on the 21st March @CambsCC will vote on whether to DESTROY its largest traditional orchard. A HABITAT OF PRINCIPAL IMPORTANCE, a 1000 trees, for a £200m tarmac road for buses. A loss @greatercambs claim can be “lessened to non-significant” in 30 years by “mitigation”, it cannot. Media, shine a light on those who have a vote so that we,
and the generations behind us, who will have to pay for their decision, can bear witness 🌳🚌❌🐝

Apple trees benefit all sorts of wildlife, but traditional orchards are now rare in the UK – around two thirds have been lost since 1960. So please plant apple trees to help bats, birds, butterflies and bees!

Folks rightly getting angry about Tanzanian security forces using live ammunition to force 1000s of indigenous Maasai people off their land in name of ‘western’ conservation - are in for a shock.

To allow gamekeepers to kill crows and jackdaws to "protect" pheasants and partridges, the pheasants and partridges are classed as livestock. But you aren't allowed to shoot livestock for sport, so when pheasants and partridges are being shot, they're classed as wildlife.

Biodiversity is changing. But why?
We investigate this question in large carnivores and find that the usual suspects of climate and land use change have an effect, but socioeconomics are the key!🙀

Ben Wallace spending £1,500 each bear fur hat supplied Army. Public cost runs to millions of pounds, yet he refuses allow fake fur alternative offered free to British Army until 2030. Over 150 bears a year are killed in Canada to support this trade @BorisJohnson @carrielbjohnson

Mind blown.🤯There is a thing called 'whale carbon'. It's the amount of carbon stored in whale bodies, including "deadfalls" sunken on the sea floor. And if we restored global whale populations to pre-whaling levels, they'd sequester 1.7 billion tons of carbon/year. #bluecarbon

The most important sentence in this horrifying reality:
"Africa produces 4% of global emissions. Studies say places least responsible for the crisis will suffer its worst effects."

At the end of this year, we could reach over 200,000 badgers killed since the badger cull started in 2013. That’s almost half the estimated population of 485,000! Let’s move to vaccination instead. ⬇️⬇️ 🦡✊

Priti Patel’s own parents left persecution in Uganda to come here. In 1972, Ted Heath agreed to take in 28,000 Ugandan Asians fleeing Idi Amin. 28,000 in one year, despite the protests of Enoch Powell.
And the daughter of that generation does them a dishonour.
"We can not accommodate 20,000 people in one go."
Home Secretary @pritipatel tells @KayBurley it is "important" to have a system "that delivers" regarding the new Afghan refugee scheme.
