Whatever happened to Free Speech in England?@SurreyPolice Sad news report tonight - if true - i was brought up believing “sticks & stones may break my bones …..” Should still be true, but sadly seems to have gone with so much other common-sense. Please get back to real Policing.

Industrial farming maximises production while keeping costs to a minimum to produce so called ‘cheap’ meat and dairy – the majority of UK farmed animals are kept in intensive units

@euromove @LordKirkhope Oh come on - we all know ERDF was just giving us back our own money less a hefty “buyer’s premium”. The EU did/does good work on many fronts, but this is a spin too far !

True !
RT @BenGoldsmith: Governments can do a lot, but it is a pernicious lie that they can fix *any* issue, from stopping a highly infectious respiratory virus, to creating economic growth, to ending ‘hate’. Perhaps if we expected a little less of our governments people might be less angry all the time?

RT @BenGoldsmith: As an aside, the government is making a strategic error not unambiguously and comprehensively reassuring the millions of us who care deeply about the natural world that it is serious about building upon the nature policy momentum established by its predecessor. An easy win.

Well said Ben. Sadly not enough of our fellow animals understand that.
RT @BenGoldsmith: Factory farming - the confinement of sentient creatures lifelong in huge industrial buildings, separated from nature, their lives deprived of all possible meaning and satisfaction - is an abomination. Among the worst crimes ever committed by humans.
