Bluestocking Mum

I haven't been able to post this before, but my darling Bruno went to doggy heaven last week. The best dog I have ever known, he was loved by everyone, but most of all, me and the boys. And Jaffa misses him so much. 😢 #dogsoftwitter #BestFriend

@petera1872 @ukhomeoffice Jo Cox MP was murdered by a far right extremist. Finsbury Park Mosque attack was by a far right extremist...

@ukhomeoffice Please detail just one “extreme right wing” terrorist attack in this country?

The UK's threat level has increased to “severe”. This follows a rising Islamist and Extreme Right Wing terrorist threat, and yesterday's abhorrent antisemitic terrorist attack. People should be vigilant as they go about their daily lives, and report any concerns to the police. Our world-leading police and security services continue to work, day and night, to keep our country safe.

@stjohnambulance At the finish!

@Bluestockingmum That’s amazing! What a moment for your son, we love seeing stories like this from the London Marathon 💚

My son has made The Guardian live updates page. 😂🤣 @stjohnambulance #LondonMarathon #BBCLondonMarathon #Marathon #Running #TCSLondonMarathon

@stjohnambulance @BBCSport homed in on him all day and stopped him and interviewed him. Also in several newspapers. Here's the interview.

@DobryNicola Yes, they do. I met an awesome man at the Rome Marathon who's a retired competitor but travels the world now as a pacemaker for marathons. He's 61 and has done over 800 marathons!!

I wonder if the pacemakers ever think "sod this, I want the glory". They are clearly also phenomenal athletes. Do they run the entire race? #LondonMarathon

Good luck to everybody taking part in the @LondonMarathon today. You are all absolute legends and you are doing an incredible thing. You should be so proud of yourselves. #LondonMarathon

Today's the day. 3rd marathon in 5 weeks for my son @callum7video. London was always the dream when he started running in lockdown. Enjoy every minute and ignore the knee. Remember your superpower strength in Paris. GOOD LUCK!!! XXX #LondonMarathon #Marathon #TCSLondonMarathon

4 days until #LondonMarathon #TCSLondonMarathon when my son, Callum will run his 3rd marathon in 5 weeks for @stjohnambulance. He's going to need an ambulance! @BBCShropshire @ShropshireStar #Marathon #Running #Charity facebook.com/share/r/1CbTtJ…

Good luck to my boy, @callum7video, who's on the start line, waiting to set off on the Paris Marathon. This is his 2nd marathon of 3 in 5 weeks in aid of @stjohnambulance! Go Callum! xxx #Marathon #MarathonDeParis #Running #ParisMarathon justgiving.com/page/3marathon…

Hi folks, I’m going to shove off for a few days, I’m not myself at the moment. If any kind people or businesses could possibly help with our pinned tweet for Jenny Pipes’ Morris I’d be eternally grateful. Thanks, G xx

Shrewsbury Morris Dancers hard at work practising for our first dance out of the year at Jenny Pipe’s Day of Dance in Leominster on Saturday 28th March.

@EssexPR I've been to war in the Middle East, and I brought home mates in boxes with flags on them, the same flags you so desperately love to shag. Lives lost, billions spent, and we won nothing of worth to the UK. You want a war? You go and fucking fight it.

Have you learnt nothing since being sacked from Sky, you misogynistic dinosaur? Gabby Logan is 10 times the sports commentator you ever were! She earned her career from her own merits and talent. Curl back under that stone you came from.

Wild London David Attenborough I'm getting so many posts from lovely people absolutely outraged at the misinformation regarding hedgehogs and slugs presented on this show yesterday, so I'll just address it here. David Attenbourough is a really lovely man, and has done an immense amount of good for us, our wildlife, and our planet. But he, like any other TV presenter, relies on programme researchers for script content. The researchers, in turn, rely on who they *perceive to be* experts in the field. Unfortunately, they were taken in by some clever branding and chose the wrong people: A self-proclaimed 'hedgehog expert', often funded by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (see their most recent dangerous misinformation, and my response, published here:x.com/HedgehogCabin/…) And the London Wildlife Trust. Recently the London Wildlife Trust engaged me as an expert consultant on a 4 page spread article about hedgehog myths. Many of you have seen my interview, and the draft of the subsequent article. I was sent this draft (see 1st image below) for approval, to which I agreed. However, before going to print, an executive at London Wildlife trust decided to do some editing of his own. It's shocking, I know, and would be unbelievable, if not here in actual print. I've included two versions of the full article below: the first draft approved by me and the team at LWT, and the second actual printed version, after executive 'editing'. It was this same London Wildlife Trust who co-produced the Wild London documentary and "provided expert help and advice". So now you know. We're all shocked. But of course, as usual, it's the poor hedgehogs who will suffer. People won't provide food for our critically endangered hedgehogs, or bother keeping their garden natural and wild, now they've been told that hedgehogs eat slugs. After all, there's plenty of them to go round. Rescues all around the country, who are treating hedgehogs dying of lungworm from being forced through starvation into eating slugs, will feel so demoralised and invalidated. Like you, I'm furious, frustrated, and bone-wearily saddened.

@wardysmissus @andrewlownie Sorry, fellow Yorkshire woman, but I doubt very much @andrewlownie needs the money, and also, do you remember Andrew Morton? Everyone said the same about him...

@andrewlownie The leach that keeps giving, buy my book, I need the money.
