This has nothing to do with the falling demand for cider. Clearly the felling (and the assoc. cost) is to make a purchasers life easier should they develop the land. This I suspect is nature destruction for potential profit. Shame on Heineken bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I’ve worked for the railways, travelled regularly on the railway and have a deep interest and love for the railway. This is great news and can’t come soon enough. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Who are these people that say the UK will never recognise nature as a legal entity with rights. The DoE should listen to the UN, the people and not follow the political ignorance and entitlement of government theguardian.com/environment/20…

Simon’s got this one right. His prose unusually clipped display a complete disgust and despair I share. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Kinda how I’m feeling and I think many of us. ⁦#ChooseLandscape⁩

Totally feel the ethical dilemma here. Alok remains so restrained. I can only imagine what he really thinks. The government should listen to his concern and hope his colleagues will have some shame. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Back to the good old days at Futurescape chairing a debate on landscape and housing. It’s important, there’s lots to say! ⁦#ChooseLandscape⁩ ⁦Farrer Huxley⁩ ⁦VisionforKendal⁩

Charles isn’t going to enjoy reading Sunak’s Kings Speech. He surely doesn’t support a bill to approve oil licences. He is well versed in why the oil must stay in the ground. I hope my king does challenge this and a government out of its depth. #ChooseLandscape

To be sacked for publicly vocalising pacifist beliefs as they are not collectively agreed is woeful. Surely we are all pacifist to some degree and together in the idea that war is both bad and wrong. For Tories to think otherwise undermines humanity. theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

Put simply, two vengeful wrongs can never make a right. It’s the innocent, the planet, and us all who suffer, rarely the protagonists. Let’s stop backing sides and building walls and try to find the fragile complex rules of common ground and humanity. theguardian.com/law/2023/oct/1…

The Jews surely know turning the power and water off hurts innocent people most. They have a modern army capable of fighting Hamas without hurting the innocent. I’m horrified jews sanction what they know so well to be wrong. theguardian.com/world/2023/oct…

This could be great. If Labour does not compromise on quality and environmental credentials for new housing and is prepared to combat NIMBYIsm allowing building in towns, this is great news. If not we are in trouble. Let’s hope! ⁦#ChooseLandscape⁩ theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

The Palestinians had no choice. Loose through incremental territorial occupation and disappear in clear sight or go out with a flourish. Let’s not loose site of the oppressor here! Desperate but I think inevitable bbc.co.uk/news/world-mid…

The sapling is unlikely to survive. The community need a more creative responsive. Use the felled tree as a cast for a bronze that everyone can sign for £10. It’ll pay for itself. Come on ⁦National Trust⁩ do better than this! theguardian.com/environment/20…
