History, education, travel & nature… with a bit of occasional silliness thrown in too… Opinions all my own.

Palm oil is in approximately 40% of packaged supermarket products. It is in your bread. Your biscuits. Your chocolate. Your margarine. Your plant-based burger. Your vegan cheese. Your "sustainable" soap. Your shampoo. Your lipstick. The primary growing region is Borneo and Sumatra. The primary land use change in those regions over the last 30 years is rainforest to palm plantation. The Bornean orangutan is critically endangered. The Sumatran tiger is critically endangered. The pygmy elephant of Borneo is endangered. None of these animals are endangered because of cattle grazing in Yorkshire. They are endangered because of the ingredient list on the back of your dairy-free butter.

Yep, that'll do it. Call the angry, let down, newly-politically-homeless, totally fed up and conflicted voters who are turning to other parties in despair 'racist' 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

I thought I had no rage left after men in women's sports, the Rape Gangs, the Post Office Scandal, the Contaminated Blood Scandal and the Hillsborough cover up but watching #DirtyBusiness on @Channel4 it seems I have more than enough rage left for @Ofwat @OfwatChiefExec
We Own It@We_OwnIt

The private water companies have taken out £85 billion in dividends since privatisation. They’ve loaded up the companies with £82 billion in debt. And invested very little. Mad system. Public ownership of water NOW. #DirtyBusiness

A new public fountain has appeared in central London, but look closer & you’ll see that it’s a actually a fountain of filth. The water is black, the human victims of the sewage crisis are vomitting streams of liquid, whilst surmounted by a smug water executive with a briefcase stuffed with cash. The fountain commemorates one of the biggest environmental crimes in British history, where water companies stole tens of billions of pounds that was supposed to be spent on our sewage system, gave it to shareholders and executives and illegally poured billions of lites of sewage into our rivers, lakes and seas instead. The channel 4 docudrama about the sewage crisis, #dirtybusiness, starts at 9pm tonight. Watch it, get sad, get angry and then join the thousands of people around the country demanding an end to the sewage crisis.

The sewage crisis laid bare As we’ve been having a wet winter, sewage has been cascading into the River Roding from outfalls everywhere. But one has been discharging for so long (550 hours, or over three weeks) that I thought it was an error with the sensor. I decided to spend my free time on a Saturday night checking it out. It was not hard to find, as the loud noise of rushing water instantly drew me towards the right part of the site. Climbing a fence, I found that the outfall was covered in brambles & fallen trees and hadn’t been inspected in years. There was clearly a fault in the storm tanks which was causing them to spill huge amounts of sewage, even when it wasn’t raining. Even worse, the outfall itself had become clogged with years of debris, so the whole site had been flooded & become a lake of sewage, literally acres in extent. The flow was so intense that it was not possible to fully measure it, but I would estimate it was at least 100 litres a second, likely more. I checked the ammonia levels & it maxed out my checker, so I used a higher range checker which gave an ammonia reading of 27ppm: ie very concentrated sewage. Doing some quick calculations, I discovered that this one spill had poured at least 180,000,000 million litres of concentrated raw sewage straight into the River Roding, putting the health of local people at risk and causing huge ecological damage to the river. It frankly beggars belief that I, as a volunteer in my spare time, was able to discover this serious illegal sewage spill, but at no point has anyone from either Thames Water or the Environment Agency thought to go and investigate the outfall that has apparently been flowing for weeks. The time for talking has ended: we now need change and real action.

Flooded roads, blocked drainage and deep potholes... We need a serious national discussion as to why our Councils are failing. It's not just "lack of funds" it's something more fundamental... lack of pride, turning a blind eye, amateur working practices and minimal accountability. @lfg_uk

In June 1844 on Eldey Island, Iceland, two men killed the last confirmed breeding pair of great auks, crushing their sole egg beneath a boot.

Well I was going to post a picture of my harvested carrots but then a bumblebee appeared by magic just now. I said yesterday my challenge would be to get an early bumblebee on here this weekend. Stop the AI slop. Keeping it real. Mission accomplished 🐝❤️💚

I never managed to get this gentleman’s name, he is a countryside volunteer, he chooses to try and keep the beautiful English countryside clean, in abundance of wildflowers, and to spend his precious time pruning the hedge rows the council are paid to prune, but can’t be bothered too. Anyway, please let me put this gentleman’s personal efforts into perspective here, you can see he is using a battery powered blower to clear that path, what you can’t see, is this wonderful English gentleman is by hand, pruning that hedgerow, again all by hand using a normal pair of garden pruners. That hedgerow is 2.7 kilometres in length. He collects all the rubbish discarded along the country lanes too. Not all heroes wear capes. 👍
