This is progress, as far as it goes. But land-burning should be banned here for all purposes other than firebreaks and emergencies. There should be no burning by grouse estates, and no "swaling" on Dartmoor and Exmoor (torching regenerating woodland for sheep pasture). www.gov.uk/government/n...

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social raises an important question about the corruption of the justice system. Why was not one farmer arrested for blocking roads & bringing the whole country to a standstill? Climate protesters are in prison, farmers aren’t, why? What happened to equality under the law?
