Vivienne 🏴‍☠️🪴

@rogeliomtz75 This is photo of the year @BBCWorld @BBCNews

En el Viacrucis del Viernes Santo, en un barrio lleno de fé, un perrito callejero, se acercó sin miedo… y suavemente apoyó su cabecita sobre él, como diciendo, sin palabras: “No estás solo". 🐾❤️

@Eng762051364509 @dougiebrimson Yet you are still alive, glory be! Hallelujah!

@dougiebrimson As long as it improves your driving the percentage of boomers i’ve been taken out by on the roads increases daily

I've just spend £15.26 of my old age pension on some bits for my car. I hope that's alright with everyone.

@dereksmith15212 @dougiebrimson Don’t forget Botox, face fillers, fake lashes, nails, extensions, breast implants, nose jobs, jaw shaving, eyebrow weirdness, excessive makeup, designer clothes, handbags, shoes, duck lips. 😂

@dougiebrimson Cut down on Ubers, Deliveroo, cappuccinos, expensive smartphones,big flatscreen TVs, Spotify, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sky Sports, magazine subscriptions, National Trust membership, Disney +, vaping, morning sessions at Wetherspoons, tattoo parlour visits and learn to batch cook

@MegsVisionBoard @unreMARKLEble Yes, I’d be furious if I had been stupid enough to buy this shit.

@unreMARKLEble All the buds fell off so they put them in water 😂

Is this the $250 flower bundle? Because I’m no gardener or floriculturist but those look like they’re browning and dying. Do you know how PISSED I’d be if I paid all hundreds of dolllsrs for THAT? I mean anyone that dumb deserves what they get and grifters are gonna grift. #MeghanMarkle #asever #MeghanMarkleIsAGrifter

@lil_liney @unreMARKLEble They need to go to Holland to learn how to be real florists. That’s disgraceful. 😑

@unreMARKLEble The company who have collaborated with her have done their business no favours by this. Having been a florist for many years I would never have let this out of the door! A huge part of your reputation is presentation! 🌸

@JChimirie66677 @gardenandgreen Absolutely right. Bracken is a nightmare for anyone involved in land management including forests etc. Like you say tourists love to see the glorious heather but it wouldn’t exist without the close management by keepers. My great grandfather was a gamekeeper.

Vivienne, Weardale is a perfect example and thank you for it. Bleak and brutal in winter is precisely the point. Nobody is claiming the managed uplands are a pastoral idyll. They are working landscapes, maintained under difficult conditions, by people who understand them. The wading birds, the skylarks, the raptors you mention exist there because of that management, not in spite of it. The moment the keepers leave, the balance shifts. Bracken advances, the habitat narrows, and the species that depend on open managed moorland follow the keepers out. The people making these decisions in Westminster have never spent a January in Weardale. It shows in every line of the Land Use Framework.

Labour Loves the Countryside. It Just Hates the People Who Run It. A woman walks into a tailor's shop in Helmsley, North Yorkshire. She loves the heather hills, she says. The wooded dales. The purple moorland stretching to the horizon. What she cannot stand is the shooting that takes place on the Glorious Twelfth. Jeremy Shaw, the tailor, has heard this before. He considers whether to explain that the heather she travelled three hours to admire exists because of the grouse moor she despises. The gamekeepers who manage the land, suppress the bracken, and keep the moorland in the condition that makes it worth visiting. The cake, in other words, was baked by the baker she came to castigate. What is worrying is that the government shares her confusion. On March 18, Labour published its Land Use Framework. Half a million acres earmarked for solar panels. Nine percent of farmland committed to rewilding. And buried on page 45, a proposal to license game bird shooting, potentially restricting pheasant and partridge releases onto estates. The trail hunting ban came first. Licensing comes next. Each measure arrives with its own rationale. Together they form a programme. Licensing does not prohibit. Bureaucracy does not ban. Smaller shoots simply cannot absorb compliance costs, fold quietly, and nobody in Whitehall answers for the consequence. A Natural England case near Helmsley shows the method. A longstanding partridge shoot was barred from releasing birds until after the season had already started. Shoot days cancelled. Revenue gone. Natural England's hands formally clean. Helmsley bucks every trend in British retail. Four pubs in the town square. A Michelin-starred inn nearby. A tailor forty years in business in what a mentor once called a dying trade. Seventy-five percent of Shaw's revenue is shooting-related. The Pheasant hotel runs at sixty percent shooting occupancy through winter. The deli sells local cheese to Norwegian and German sportsmen. Shooting contributes £3.3 billion annually to the UK economy and supports nearly 147,000 jobs. Pull the shooting thread and the weave comes apart. One Helmsley pub changed hands a few years ago. The new owners decided they wanted nothing to do with shoot trade. They lost heavily, then went back to the estates cap in hand. The market delivered the verdict that policy is not yet ready to impose openly. Licensing achieves the same result without anyone having to take responsibility. The conservation argument collapses under scrutiny. Grouse moor owners have restored 217,000 acres of upland heath in the past 25 years. The almost-extinct curlew is four times more likely to fledge on a managed grouse moor than on unmanaged moorland. The landscape that Whitehall has identified as the problem is the reason the landscape exists in the form they claim to value. When asked what economic trade-offs it had actually modelled, the government was vague. Officials said they recognised shooting's cultural importance and would work with industry toward a sustainable relationship. Starmer has been invited to visit Helmsley and see how the economy functions. He has not replied. He should go. He should meet the gamekeeper loading double guns through winter to keep the household solvent. The beaters earning seventy pounds a day. The tailor measuring 24 keepers for tweed suits stitched with Essex lining and Yorkshire zips. What rural Britain is being offered instead is a licensing regime that will first eliminate smaller shoots, then larger ones, then the hotels and tailors and pubs, until the moorland reverts to bracken and the towns that shooting sustained join the dying high streets that apparently only the countryside had managed to avoid. The heather on the North York Moors, Jeremy Shaw at Carters Country Wear, and the market town of Helmsley. All three exist because of shooting. Labour's Land Use Framework puts all three at risk.

@JChimirie66677 @gardenandgreen We live in Weardale, we have this same argument. The Moorlands here are rigorously maintained for Shooting. It differs from N York Moors, the Upper Pennines can be bleak & brutal especially in Winter. However it provides for wading birds, skylarks, raptors as well as game birds.

Relatively recent by what measure? The open upland moorland of the North York Moors was shaped by Bronze Age communities grazing and burning the landscape four thousand years ago. The Anglo-Saxon field systems predate the Norman conquest by centuries. The hedgerows Richard Negus lays were first planted in the medieval period. The argument was never that shooting is ancient. The argument is that active human management, across every era and by every generation, is what created and sustains the landscape you are now proposing to hand to bracken and solar developers. Remove the management and you do not recover something older and wilder. You get something newer and poorer.

@MidoriTakaki Red onion skins.

@KitchandBot The trick I didn’t know existed!

Egg hunting. 🥚Happy Easter! 🐣

@PeterEgan6 @LimbeWildlife Please look at @BaliAid .

I am often asked how can I support so many different species charities..it is when I receive inspiring videos like this that that question is answered..great work from all the team @LimbeWildlife I’m proud to be their ambassador great..great work.

@SamanthaTaghoy This is very encouraging.

Good Friday. 3pm on a Friday afternoon. My little church in Durham is packed to the brim. There was a queue round the street. Every pew is full. The entryway is full, too. Over half the congregation is Gen Z. Many are Gen Alpha. We are in the age of the Catholic revival.

@far_leftie @SamanthaTaghoy Shut up idiot.
