The moral depravity and bankruptcy of (all) Western corporate journalism exposed for the world to see by Iranian Professor Marandi who exists on a completely different moral plane. Brilliant exposure, more Marandi please.

Knew racism was still rife but I’m genuinely gobsmacked at the reform votes. People are sickening

🧵 Nigel Farage makes his I'm A Celebrity debut tonight, where he will be presented as a purveyor of robust but mainstream rightwing views. A pre-show reminder that he's not: he has regularly aired conspiracy theories linked to antisemitism & far right beliefs. Here's a sample 1/

One photo shows a single, solitary ancient sycamore tree destroyed in an act of eco vandalism that has rightly caused outrage. The other photo shows one of 108 ancient, native woodlands destroyed to make way for HS2. Can we get as angry about this too?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
HS2 has not destroyed 108 ancient woodlands. The figure comes from a report that said the entire line, including cancelled phases, ‘threatened’ 108 woodlands, which includes woodlands that are nearby the line but would not be cut down. woodlandtrust.org.uk/protecting-tre…

Sad news Amazon have confirmed that they are soon to start building their huge warehouse on Melton Fields. This veteran oak tree and ancient hedgerow, home to lots of birds and wildlife, will be cut down and covered in concrete. Just so people can get more ‘stuff’ 😢

A female eider duck that was incubating eggs on Foulney Island has been killed by a dog. A reminder that dogs are NOT allowed on this important site at this time, as it’s home to many ground-nesting birds. Warning: next post contains a graphic image @NWEMlive @BBC_Cumbria 1/3

Dear 🇬🇧, The two-tier system has arrived. The market for private healthcare wasn't strong enough so the govt defunded the NHS, allowed you to suffer on the longest waiting list in NHS history, just to push more people into private care. The future we feared is here. #SOSNHS

Home Secretary told the Mail online she is "furious" the police intervened on golliwog displays in an Essex pub. Yet it seems the highly racist landlord had posted Facebook images of the Golliwogs hanging in his pub, writing "they used to hand them in Mississippi years ago"

The vile face of fox hunting is exposed tonight on @Channel4News thanks to @alextomo and the brave work of @HuntSabs Please watch and RT
This is the moment a fox is rescued after being trapped in a bag and buried alive. After the release of this exclusive footage, filmed by a hunt saboteur, the British fox hunting governing body suspended The Cotswold Hunt. Gloucestershire police are investigating the incident.

Message to inconsiderate bird photographers - you are not only harming the individual birds; your actions necessitate that data on those species is hidden from scientists, so you are harming the whole regional population by your actions portlandbirdobs.com/2023/03/… 1/2

Although we don’t know the full extent of yesterday’s oil spill yet, the fact it’s happened right in the middle of such an environmentally important area is incredibly worrying. You can read BoPH's statement here: birdsofpooleharbour.co.uk/po… @BCPCouncil @DorsetBirdClub @BBCSouthNews

Watching the high tide this morning was so depressing thanks to five individuals and four dogs, off the lead, all of them 😡 All walking in a wildlife sensitive area past an obvious sign asking for their co-operation ! Guess what,no birds !!

25/03/23 - Very disappointing to see at least 2 climbers on these Portland Cliffs. Cliffs are clearly identified by @Team_BMC as having: "Restrictions apply from 1 March - 30 June. Reason: Nesting Birds" @PortlandBirdObs @DorsetBirdClub @DWTWeyPort What chance for the birds.

Compare & contrast. Top is Plymouth City centre in all its green glory. Bottom is Plymouth City centre today, after @plymouthcc snuck out in the night to destroy over 100 trees... it looks like a scene from #TheLastOfUs 😱 Who's angry? 🤬 #PlymouthCityCouncilTreeMassacre
