@RossCherrington @TrooperSnooks @DaleVince Come on it's not a crime to have a different opinion. The truth is somewhere in the middle as is often the case. We do need to have food security, wars and pandemic have proved that, rewilding under the right circumstances is fine, but not at the expense of food production

@TrooperSnooks @DaleVince Dale is a dick

Long article this, here’s the gist of it - Man named Mr Greed complains he can’t raise French cows in Devon anymore because the landowner wants his land back - for re wilding. Re wilding is threatening tenant farmers like never before and through them our food security - says the author, before going on to point out (if you run the numbers) that at risk tenant farmers are responsible for just 7% of farmland in Britain. Here’s what it doesn’t tell you - farming uses 75% of Britain’s land, it’s the single biggest cause of our wildlife crisis (we took their homes) and most of our farmland is used to grow crops to feed animals in an incredibly inefficient food chain system. In fact we could feed 16m more people if we just grew crops to feed ourselves directly - using the same amount of land. And/or we could give 75% of our farmland back to nature - if we all stop eating animals. That’s the scope we have, to allow nature back in and still feed ourselves. Plenty. It’s not either or and re wilding is not the enemy of farming. telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

@RossCherrington @domdyer70 So not the increase in housing, roads paving over of the countryside. All of which have been identified as having an impact of hedgehog population. No mention of badgers? It's funny that before the "management" of badgers, these two coexisted for hundreds of thousands of years

@GrahamFisher7 @domdyer70 Yep

Off to London to help lead a wildlife protection NGO meeting with Defra Minister Angela Eagle on the future of bovine TB policy & badger culling. It’s time the Government brought an end to the badger blame & focus on cattle to lower bovine TB. Killing badgers is cruel, costly & ineffective

@RossCherrington @domdyer70 Always? I don't think so

@GrahamFisher7 @domdyer70 And it is now, badgers were always controlled

@RossCherrington @domdyer70 The animals and birds of this wonderful country/planet have evolved together. History shows that it's only when we interfere with things, that the balance is messed up.

@GrahamFisher7 @domdyer70 Wouldn’t help the ground nesting birds etc

@RossCherrington @domdyer70 If the national herd was vaccinated, it wouldn't matter

@GrahamFisher7 @domdyer70 But that doesn’t stop the disease in-wildlife, badgers are active transmitters, deer and especially cats less so

@RossCherrington @domdyer70 I disagree @RossCherrington badgers are not the only carriers of bovine TB. Deer, dogs,cats do too. We know where every cow in the country is, far easier to vaccinate them than kill badgers.

@domdyer70 It works mate, your urban Disneyfied view of wildlife is why nothing gets done. There are too many badgers around for ground nesting birds and ever other small creatures

Why is #O2 so f*CK*ING shit?

#O2 why is it impossible to add data ? I'm not travelling it's just a top up 😡😡😡

@elonmusk One year? What about all the other years?

I paid so much in taxes one year that it broke the IRS computer (actually). Too many digits. They had to update the software to get it processed.

@elonmusk It would help if it was true first, but hey why let the truth get in the way of your agenda

When does it become a genocide?

Maybe #America should consider what it would take to give up California or Texas to Mexico.

@elonmusk How many people shot dead in US today? It's news worthy in the UK because of it's rarity. I would of thought that you had better things to do with your time, like trying to get your pat rise approved

11 people stabbed on a train in the UK
