❌ #Greece Authorities Order Evacuation of Homes, Hospitals near Athens as #Wildfire Rages A massive fire is out of control in the northern parts of Attica, #Athens. The wildfires are spreading despite "superhuman" efforts to combat the flames, the fire brigade said.

🚨UPDATE: We're delighted that 71 Whitney Drive in Stevenage has just been designated Grade II following C20's listing application, saving the house from a consented demolition. Designed in 1966 by Derrick Shorten as his family home, Shorten was also project architect on the listed Coventry Railway Station (1962).

The first fin whale has been killed by The Kangei Maru. Kyodo Senpaku, the Japanese whaling company, has announced the capture of a male fin whale, 19.6 m long and weighing 55 tonnes, off Iwate Prefecture, Japan. Japan announced a quota of 59 fin whales this week. #STOPTHEHUNT

"River Hamble contains e-coli and sewage, warn police." So the police have now become responsible for doing the @EnvAgency's job for them. No doubt because the EA's CEO is too busy investing £37 million of the pension funds money in England's water companies.

@bmay Definitely but you know that won’t happen because pacifists are so Much more dangerous than this mindless scum.

Hull. 5 year sentences please, just like the people who, er, had a zoom meeting about climate change. twitter.com/teethlikearms/…

NEWS // The Library (1965-70) and Pollen Wing (1970-75) at Downside Abbey in Somerset have been listed at Grade II and II* respectively, following an application by C20. Designed by Francis Pollen, the buildings combine refences to Edwin Lutyens in limestone ashlar and bush hammered concrete, with the spectacular geometric volumes of the glazed octagonal reading room. The recent departure of the last monks from Downside leaves the monastic buildings without a function, and the Downside Abbey General Trust is in the process of creating a future strategy for the site.

LET’S CALL A SPADE A SPADE… This is a lay-by next to East Midlands airport. Could be anywhere in Britain. We really have become a nation of lazy, selfish, ignorant and anti-social slobs…or 20 million of us have at least.

It was a massive issue at the general election and now it's the very first question asked of a new Prime Minister, of a new government, in a new parliament. "Scrapping @Ofwat". Sounds like a bloody good idea to me.

Last week, we hosted an exclusive tour of WCPF artist Jake Garfield’s studio for our Patrons of Print. The tour gave Patrons a look at some upcoming pieces for Jake's September solo exhibition with Brocket Gallery. Learn about becoming a Patron at the link in bio ✨🔗

These works were exhibited at WCPF23 with The Centre for Print Research in their Cabinet of Curiosities. The wooden cabinet showcased a range of original prints made using cutting edge techniques, from a wearable book and an unfolding almanac to etchings of mycelial growth.

Yes, you read that correctly. @Thameswater has been dumping sewage into the River Misbourne, a chalk stream, for 5,000 hours so far this year. And there's still five and a half months of 2024 left.

Reposting this shocker of a story now all water companies in England and Wales are being investigated for poor poop management. Dirty secret: insiders say UK water firms knowingly break sewage laws... ...and reveal exactly how it's done on site. theguardian.com/environment/20…
