When people obsess about certain species ‘causing’ environmental problems It is worth remembering that human actions are the ultimate cause of ecological degradation These species are not intrinsically problematic We need to cure the disease rather than treat the symptoms

Everyone should write to their MP saying: Israel’s attack on Iran is insane. It is also being used to distract from Gaza, where internet has been cut, and the West Bank, where settlements are aggressively expanding. The UK government MUST recognise the State of Palestine now. Does your MP agree?

Look out for Galium constrictum Slender Marsh Bedstraw - it’s popping up all over the country in the past year in fine wetlands. The sickly yellow green + pink buds are good spotting characters then check for strap-shaped leaves, downward pointing stem spines and forward pointing leaf spines.

1. A story. Please read. Reposts hugely appreciated on this. You'll see why in a bit. I was born in Pakistan and lived there until I was 4. My parents worked there as doctors. While we were there we were very close to a couple called Christine and Mike Miles.

If you choose to send cash to Stephen Yaxley (a.k.a. Tommy Robinson), the 14 times criminally serial fraudster, violent drunk, and career inciter of hatred and violence, you’ll be glad to know where your cash is going. He’s in the Bahamas, at £500 a night. You gullible mugs.

This isn’t journalism it’s confected nonsense. For one thing, the language used to describe these beautiful, resourceful, native animals is appalling: “pests”, “infestation”. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
