Frankenstein chicken, that’s what these people serve - genetically bred, prone to disease - finger licking good?

And these Frankenchicks have far more fat in them than chicken used to have.

New figures in The Lancet Global Health journal point to 75,000 deaths in Gaza, with the majority reported to be women, children and older people.

Focus now must be on ending the humanitarian crisis and providing a stable way forward.

This is Charles. He says young people should care more about nature.
He’s spent his whole life killing animals for fun. Don’t be like Charles.

BBC Newsnight mock-up of Jeremy Corbyn as a Bolshevik revolutionary, in the style of a Soviet propaganda poster.

BBC Newsnight mock-up of Jeremy Corbyn as a Bolshevik revolutionary, in the style of a Soviet propaganda poster.

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

Warning over 'dirty secret' of toxic chemicals on farmers fields Campaigners say that farmers' fields are being contaminated by chemicals and microplastics in sewage sludge.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Guess what? Sewage spread on land for fertiliser is not being tested properly for contaminants, including forever chemicals and plastics. Previous ministers failed to tackle this. Light or no touch approach to regulation has put health and environment at serious risk.
