Still can't quite believe that when a boat carrying people seeking a better life sinks and kills 90, it registers as barely a blip on the news cycle Yet when a yacht carrying billionaires sinks, it's 3-day front page, rolling live ticker news theguardian.com/world/live/202…

To the visionaries who decided to save swathes of UK coastline for everyone to enjoy, inalienably. To those who’ve bequeathed stretches since. To the rangers who look after the footpaths, the gates, the stiles, the wildlife habitats. To the National Trust. Thank you.

So the ‘woke’-bashing ⁦Mail+⁩ lays into ⁦National Trust⁩ again. For doing a bit more to tackle climate change. To be clear we are not banning meat or anything like it, just having a look at making some sensible reductions. RT or like if you stand with us.
