@DeeMcIlveen @bbcstoryville @DHSgov I’ve just read the BBC article about your programme and Greg Squire. Excuse the language, but what absolute f*****g heroes he and his team are. To go through what they have to go through to rescue children from abuse is truly astonishing

Our new film for @bbcstoryville is available next week. Producer Sam Piranty and I spent years working with an international team led by @DHSgov undercover cops who track down and catch the very worst criminals - anywhere in the world. BBC4 and iPlayer from 17th Feb in the UK.

🚨NEW: Bruce Springsteen has released a new song titled 'Streets of Minneapolis' in reponse to ICE's murders: "It’s dedicated...to the memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free - Bruce” RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen against Trump!

Which one would you pick? 👀

Halloween artificial cobweb material: It may be a bit of fake fun for you, but it's a very real and terrifying death for them. And it's not only birds. I've had my first call of the season of a hedgehog trapped in this horrific fake 'cobweb', made especially for gullible halloweeners to spread over their greenery, trapping all unsuspecting birds, insects and mammals, including hedgehogs. The fine synthetic fibers are difficult for animals to see and can quickly wrap around their legs, spines, and neck, leading to severe injuries. When a hedgehog struggles to free herself the web tightens, cutting off circulation and causing deep wounds. These constriction injuries often lead to permanent damage or death. Unfortunately the call was from Manchester, so all I could do was talk them through getting the poor creature to a rescue. Clearly she had been trapped there for at least one night, and her struggles had pulled the strong nylon strands so tightly that one of her toes had been amputated. Can you imagine the pain and the sheer terror? And then seeing dawn approach, while hanging there, tightly bound and helpless. Aside from being stressed, dehydrated, starving and exhausted to the point of near death, she also had horrific bite/peck wounds to her face, where she had been held there, helpless, unable to curl and defend herself, while a predator tried to eat her alive. If you have used this deadly cruel trap to 'decorate' your garden, please take it down now. Please don't be conned by the greedy makers and sellers of this rubbish into hurting defenceless animals.

The Fox and Hare just watched Heather Humphreys interview… and they’ve got thoughts.

@MaryHarringt67 you might be able to answer his question

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

Status Orange Wildfire warning‼️ There are too many forest fires in our parks. This has to stop. Enjoy nature and the good weather over the long weekend but please don’t light fires in National Parks, Nature Reserves, sand dunes, mountains, forests, meadows or urban parks.
