Romanian ex-presidential candidate Călin Georgescu joins the rest of the fascist scum and publicly greets the crowd with the nazi salute. Utterly disgusting 🤮 m.digi24.ro/stiri/actual...

It appears that the political consequence of the lynx release in Cairngorms has been for the Scottish government to rule out predator reintroductions. Somewhat predictable. But if they are reintroduced to northern England, e.g. Kielder, they might move in anyway. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
