I’m doing jury service & today I became the first person ever in England (I think!) to swear a legal oath on a river. With my fingers dipped in water taken from the Roding I stated my juror’s oath as follows: “I swear by the River Roding, from her source in Molehill Green to her confluence with the Thames, that I will faithfully try the Defendant & give a true verdict according to the evidence” The Judge at Snaresbrook Crown Court had never heard of a situation where someone wanted to swear their juror’s oath on a part of Nature before. However, I explained that Nature was my god & I treat the Roding with the same reverence, sacredness & love in action as many religious people give to their holy book. On this basis he was prepared to allow an oath on the river, as long as I gave an affirmation as well, which I did. Here’s to introducing the sacredness of Nature back into our legal system, step by step & piece by piece!

And when the Environment Agency DOES object, they are ignored @Feargal_Sharkey @leanahosea @DefraGovUK @TonyJuniper In 2020, levels of abstraction were judged to be "causing environmental damage" and the system was "already failing environmental targets".

huntspost.co.uk/news/24484445.… Appalling, but Labour have to 'prove' support for their Developer friends. Great how Mathew Pennycook considered his decision in great depth, given the short period of time since Labour got elected... A lap dog for party HQ and its 'Growth Agenda'?

3rd time in 3 years these trees on St Matthew's Piece are under threat! If you care about our precious green space please OBJECT to 24/0413/TTPO2 on …ications.greatercambridgeplanning.org/online-applica… see next post for link to background and more info @LGSpace #trees #cambridge
