This seems like a good time to change the way that they farm. The climate emergency is good to force it upon them at some time in the future, so why not start making the transition now. There are so many now proven alternative ways to feed ourselves, without harming all other flora & fauna.

A lot of Americans, even with health insurance, end up bankrupted, if they get a serious illness like cancer.

I agree! IMHO road tax should also be charged by a car's weight.

Adult social care privatised since the 1980s. Local councils spend 70% of budget on it.

83% of social care controlled by private equity, 20%-40% profit margin.

Will Govt end profiteering, ensure only not-for-profit entities, including local councils, provide care.

Watch the Minister's reply.

It would be nice to deport him & his family since he has done it to so many people including people who have been born in this country.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Considering most of our local edible horticulture is produced on less than 5 hectares, the UK gov's restructuring agricultural support, is making that a minimum. The money is going to end up in the pockets of the big landowners yet again. It is so short sighted. The smaller growers need support.

I spent 22 years of my life as a consultant in marine sustainability and maritime policy. Much of what I did involved the oil industry, oil pollution and the toxic threat it posed to humans and wildlife.

This shit is liquid cancer. It will impact the development of foetuses. It will kill.

International Womens Day:
we shine a light on Grace Chappelow of Ramsden Heath, Essex- a suffragette imprisoned for protesting in London.

Chelmsford Museum has a certificate signed by Emmeline Pankhurst marking her sacrifice, hoping β€˜women who come after will answer to the appeal of the oppressed’.

The Courts and Tribunals Bill will remove your right to a jury trial for serious criminal offences.

Toff magistrates/judges will decide your fate.

Chances of miscarriage of justice will increase. Working class, poor, minorities will be the biggest losers.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
