Thumbs up if you agree?

An industry that prides itself on being the clean future is importing banned toxic white asbestos (chrysotile) inside Chinese wind turbine components. Asbestos has been banned in the West for decades. The scandal highlights how a clean industry can still be vulnerable to legacy toxic materials in wind turbine components. Despite Australia's 2003 ban, these components are affecting multiple sites from Cattle Hill in Tasmania to Golden Plains in Victoria and several farms in Queensland. * Cattle Hill, Tasmania: Access restricted across the fleet. * Golden Plains, Victoria: Units quarantined; Vestas launching global supply checks. * Biala & Moorabool NSW and Victoria: Confirmed contamination in 3S-supplied parts. * Queensland sites: At least four wind farms identified with affected components. Health authorities currently rate the risk of airborne exposure as low because the pads are enclosed. But the quarantining of turbines and the need for specialised asbestos removal teams highlights a massive, unplanned industrial hurdle. This isn't just an Australian problem. Recent reports from the Scottish Borders (April 2026) show community councils realise their local turbines may contain asbestos in the same non-compliant braking mechanisms, specifically lift brake pads from 3S Industry. It's also surfacing elsewhere in the UK and Europe. The core of the issue is a breach in the 'zero tolerance' policy for asbestos imports. It appears the contaminated brake pads - primarily in the service lifts used by technicians - were supplied to major manufacturers Goldwind and Vestas from a shared third-party supplier, 3S Industry. Testing on turbines has come back positive at Australia's $4 billion Golden Plains wind farm. Units are now quarantined and the manufacturer, based in Denmark, is launching global checks across its supply chain. The 'quarantine' isn't just about the wind, it’s about the safety of the human technicians who have to use those lifts. If major players like Vestas and Goldwind didn't know what is in their elevators, what else are they missing?

It’ll still be called “grass-fed”… you just won’t know the grass isn’t natural anymore. During the Health Select Committee, AgResearch (Govt Crown Research Institute) acknowledged their genetically engineered ryegrass can’t be fully contained once it’s released. It doesn’t just stay in the paddock it’s planted in. It would contaminate our native grass species, with no recall button. And when that happens, it’s organic farmers who carry the risk. Because organic only works if GMO stays contained in the lab where it belongs. Once that line is gone kiwis… so is your ability to choose. “Coexistence” is a lie the biotech industry wants you to believe.

The people pushing the digital Euro have admitted it openly — if people are allowed to opt out, it will fail. @EconWithNick breaks down what that actually means: they are proposing something nobody wants and planning to use government force to make sure you use it anyway. This is not a product competing in a free market. It is a system being imposed on people who have already made clear they would reject it if given the choice.

Watch this smug political commentator get put in his place by @GBNews presenter @MichelleDewbs Who asked Samuel Sweek FOUR times whether it’s reasonable to expect women to get undressed “in front of a male”. Sweek visibly squirmed - unable to provide an answer - until finally telling Dewberry they would have to 'agree to disagree'. I mean what kind of numpty has to 'agree to disagree' on biological sex? 🫣

No matter how many times I hear it, I'm still blown away by her voice. She possessed one of the finest singing voices in music history. Can you name this song? 🤔

@Realneo101 Free Iran

عزیزان نمی‌دونم چه بلایی دارن سر اکانتم میارن اگر براتون مقدوره لطفا منشن بذارید. با سپاس. They're attacking my account and my reach is dead. I’m not leaving until the regime falls. Say “Free Iran” if you see me. 🇮🇷

So proud of my Dad for his spontaneous valedictory Speech, following removal of Hereditary Peers from House of Lords. If they won't give you a slot...make one!

If we forget, we have no right to exist. October 7.

Zack Polanski was the only party leader mad enough to support the arrest of @Glinner for joking about punching ‘trans women’ in the balls Now he is saying cracking down on people saying ‘globalise the intifada’ — a call to murder Jews — is authoritarian and wrong Funny that

If you're having a bad day, here's the exact moment that Charlie Brown adopted Snoopy 75 years ago.

This is honestly one the best verbal shellackings I've ever seen in my life. Nose-ring was absolutely flummoxed and had her head spinning after this brutal beat down.

Darling Yvette Cooper, How very touching. The same government that cannot stop illegal migrants crossing the Channel, cannot protect British pensioners from freezing, and cannot keep violent offenders off our streets has apparently found the money and the will to tie Britain into yet another EU financial scheme. One must admire the elegance with which you dress up the slow reversal of Brexit as “European unity.” The British people voted to leave the European Union. They did not vote to rejoin it through the back door by signing up to EU loan programmes, EU defence funds, or any other mechanism designed to drag this country back into the orbit of Brussels. You speak of standing with Ukraine “for as long as it takes.” The question, of course, is how long British taxpayers are expected to fund a corrupt foreign war while their own country is left to rot. The same ministers who lecture us about “European unity” seem remarkably untroubled by the unity of British people who would quite like their own borders secured and their own streets made safe before they are asked to bankroll another foreign adventure. On the 7th of May the British people will begin the long overdue process of removing you from office. One council at a time. Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

How can anyone defend this horrendous cruelty in the name of science EXPOSING THE TRUTH: INSIDE YORK UNIVERSITY’S PRIMATE LAB Leaked whistleblower footage from York University has exposed the harrowing reality for research macaques. Recorded between 2024 and 2025, the evidence reveals primates living in extreme distress with severe physical trauma, including metal posts protruding from their heads and bleeding surgical sites. In one tragic instance, a macaque named Kenny was forced to rip out his own brain implant after hours of agitation and pain. The evidence further highlights profound psychological suffering, with animals constantly pacing, swaying, and struggling against restrictive neck collars. Neglect reached such a level that animals were filmed drinking their own urine due to acute dehydration, while lab records since 2009 document over 15 escapes and chronic infections. Although the university maintains it complies with regulations, independent experts have condemned these conditions as inhumane, prompting a formal inquiry by the Canadian Council on Animal Care. #AnimalRights #EndAnimalTesting #YorkUniversity #Whistleblower #AnimalWelfare

Don’t stop talking about Iran.

The bear Synochok lived in a small metal cage of only 4m² for nearly 9 years, forced to perform circus tricks, constantly moved in a vehicle, and was denied freedom 💔 After being rescued and moved to a new home, Synochok completely transformed into a joyful and happy bear, the life it truly deserves 💗 📹whiterock.savewildfund

@AngelaRayner Using children for your vacuous PR stunt!! Did you tell the children how your party and councils turned a blind eye, covered up decades of sexual abuse of girls, of a similar age to your audience??

Reform UK would destroy our NHS, and make working people pay the price with an American-style insurance system. Vote Labour on 7th May 🌹

I just watched Starmer proudly announcing the UK will join a £78 billion loan to Ukraine. WTF!!?? We're broke, highest ever levels of debt, highest ever levels of tax, economy a total mess. Where is that money coming from when we simply haven't got it!? Something is very wrong!
