This isn’t really surprising. 25 years after planting the trees are still young. Some won’t have even had their first seeding season. Few if any will have fallen to rot and contribute to soil quality. Come back in another 75 years and I suspect they’ll still be a measurable difference.
Weird. One moment (only this weekend) I’m reading about Pine Marten reintroductions and how that’s helping red squirrels reestablish themselves, and what a success that’s being. And the next I’m reading about the demise of the ref squirrel and how something needs to be done about it.
I’ve still got some 😅 stocked up in Aldi as they were selling them off at under half price on the Tuesday after Easter. Tbh I think I’ll be sick of them before I’ve finished them 😯
This really isn’t surprising, as more and more we’re being discouraged from visiting our GPs. Things I would have gone to see my doctor about 20 years ago I know wouldn’t even think about bothering, because it’s such a palava to even get an appointment. So I just hope for the best and hope it will pass. Sometimes that might mean something that could have been prevented isn’t prevented.
And then of course there’s diet. But let’s not lose sight of the state of healthcare.
Sounds like they have caught him; 50s, male. They’re asking people not to speculate, so I won’t. But obvious thoughts are in my head.
Actress Mali Ann Rees said inclusivity was key to encouraging more people to speak Welsh, with “no excuse” for unconscious bias.
There’s a huge irony here for me. I called out such unconscious bias once, which was actually perpetrated by a black Welsh speaker against an Asian from South Wales. She called me a racist for calling her out! And Reddit being Reddit, she was then upvoted and I down
I won’t forget that. It still intensely annoys me. So thanks Mali for taking my side here.
" An estimated 700 people die or are injured each year in the UK due to colliding with the animals" - which is slightly more believable. The summary above is probably AI.
I’d be happy with just one leche tbf.
Congratulations on managing to offend the Iranian, Israeli and USian regimes all at the same time. Best laugh I’ve had for weeks 😂
Having just returned from playing the piano for the morning Easter service, something tells me I shouldn’t be laughing at this.
But I can’t help it 😂
Watership Down.
Bright Eyes, shining like fire… Art Garfunkel will now be in your head for the rest of the day 😂
On which subject, I (here in Cymru, not part of the Palantir NHS England problem) received a letter in the post this week asking if I wanted to take part in a large survey for the NHS, which would involve giving a blood sample for analysis. The address given was in England, and so I’m guessing it’s a joint project with NHS Cymru and England.
I have to say that I am not intending to reply to the letter because of Palantir; it feels horribly like a data gathering exercise funded by them.
Does anyone else know about this?
If only we’d thought of doing something like that before 🤔
I feel the orange man-baby’s manhood has just been insulted.
It would be interesting to see a revised version of that, especially in the light of Gorton and Denton.
It’s difficult to imagine any worse owner than the outgoing one. Hopefully it will step back from the fascist brink now, though Springer are hardly likely to be progressive.
Not for him, no. But it’s deeply concerning that this should have been allowed to happen. How many attacks never make the news, because the victim is not so infamous? And might some of these have been wrongly convicted?
Because anti-fascist groups are more dangerous than actual fascists, obviously. 🤔
Tough, they’re a private company now. They need to make money. And if they can’t, they either go under or they get nationalised. Whoever could have foreseen a situation like this? 🙄
It seems to me that nationalisation might be a good option right now. Just maybe it shouldn’t have been privatised in the first place. 🤔
