Water pollution (esp on this scale) for profit must stop. Env damage must be healed. Water company profits must be used to pay - not bill payers. Investment to prevent repeat must happen. When is the government going to take effective action? What’s so hard? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

As a member of public & of the Wildlife Trust I’m angry to read this - it has been a locally contentious development as it is - now deliberate greenwashing from developer? Misleading evidence / fake news - it’s everywhere. #https://www.kentwildlifetrust.org.uk/news/highstead-park

A brisk blowy walk in bitter NE wind across marshes today. Bright skies but bleak wildlife spotting - one Common Buzzard, a Brown Hare & a Marsh Harrier, Chaffinch, Robin & Heron. Lots of Gulls and Partridge though. Spotted a field full of Swans in distance on way home though.

Have you ever heard of Coots nesting in fir trees? I didn’t believe my friend til she showed me two eggs that had fallen out of the nest - maybe helped out by something else? Her garden backs onto marshes and dykes too so why would they do this?

Surprise as some children on Isle of Sheppey allocated a place at a school in Faversham! Wondering if they’ve used ‘as the crow flies’ principle rather than looking at a map? School bus to Sittingbourne + stops takes a good hour & some ch leave home at 7am already!#geographymatters

Girl told me she won’t drink at school so she doesn’t need toilet til she gets home. That’s 7am - 16:30. As a parent / g/parent / member of society I’d rather a happy child who is treated like a human being rather than a traumatised child with high grades. What on earth is going on at some schools?

Thank you @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com as car insurance renewal came through this week - cheaper than last year! I watched your programme so didn’t get as excited as I might have done! Went online & immediately saw something £100 cheaper. But I chose a platinum AA package for £60 less. Great!

I for one will not be celebrating the 5 year anniversary of #Brexit. Grew up in an era of free movement & work & enjoyed using those rights as did my peers. It’s a shame young people today can’t have the same experiences. Latest #Yougov polls are interesting on the topic.
