V disappointing to see so much of this cobwebby plastic tat about which is so dangerous for endangered wildlife and birds 😨🦔🕊️
The real horror of Halloween.
Artificial cobweb: a bit of fake fun for you, but a very real and terrifying death for them.
If you see your neighbours using it, it's possible they don't know the danger so please print out this simple leaflet and pop it through their door:
tinyurl.com/HalloweenHedgeho…
The fine, strong synthetic fibres of this lethal 'web' are difficult for animals to see at dusk and can quickly wrap around their legs, wings, and neck, trapping and killing birds, insects and mammals.
When Eden the hedgehog struggled to free herself the web tightened, cutting off circulation and causing deep wounds.
Can you imagine the pain and sheer terror?
And then seeing dawn approach, while hanging there, tightly bound and helpless, only an inch above the ground but suffering slow strangulation.
Aside from being stressed, dehydrated, starving and exhausted, she also had horrific bite/peck wounds to her face, where she had been held there, helpless, unable to curl and defend herself, while a predator tried to eat her alive.
Tragically her constriction injuries were too severe to survive, and poor Eden had to be put to sleep.
If you have used this deadly cruel trap to 'decorate' your garden, I beg you - take it down now.
Please spread this vital information, and help save lives.
ALT Eden, a patient admitted to Hedgehog Cabin, the multi award winning hedgehog hospital.
William and Catherine should be doing this stuff not leaving it to cancer-ridden Charles. I guess William is too woke for the Commonwealth and will still claim to be doing the school run when his kids are in their 30’s ☹️
WHERE'S THE ROYAL UMBRELLA?!"🤭🤣
The King looked furious as he stood in a monsoon in Antigua, arms thrown up, demanding his umbrella. Camilla gets hers in seconds and is whisked off to the dry.
The King of England, soaked to the skin, waiting on a brolly.
Five minutes of rain and not one of them thought ahead. He joked he was "growing watercress" on his trousers, but his face said plenty. 😤☔️🇬🇧
Went to see Duran Duran last night; boys still got it despite a combined age of 720. Audience reliving our glorious 80’s yoof, many with walking sticks and the odd mobility scooter 🔥💃🏻 @duranduran
Ghastly state panjandrums such as @Jacob_Rees_Mogg and @wesstreeting demand our best and bravest young men sacrifice their lives for their phoney wars but look how they treat them! Sickening!
Shocking neglect and abuse of retired Lt Col Stephen Maguire DCM SAS, a natural born leader of men who spent 40 years in service to his country, and his son's long fight for justice. Please share Ben's post widely: "My father, Retired Lt Col Stephen Maguire DCM SAS, is a man who spent nearly 40 years in dedicated service to this country, serving from 1970 until 2009. He is a natural leader, a decorated soldier, to those who served with him. However, he has been completely abandoned and betrayed by the very system he gave everything to.
I am fighting for justice for my father. This struggle is a mirror of my own life; my own journey marked by the negligence of MPs, charities, and veteran services which led me to the absolute rock bottom of homelessness as a veteran myself. I know exactly what it is like to be discarded by the people who promised to provide support.
After years of fighting, we finally have a pathway toward the right care, but the damage is already done. The sheer scale of the failings along the way has crippled a man who likely only suffered from PTSD. What should have been a manageable recovery became a total collapse because of institutional incompetence.
This isn't a failure of one person or one office it is a systemic rot. For too long, the UK government, regardless of which side of the fence they sit on, has played a political game with the lives of our veterans. Whether it is Labour or the Conservatives, the result is the same: service men are treated as assets when they are useful and as liabilities the moment they are broken. We are told our sacrifices are "remembered," but the reality is that once the uniform comes off, the care vanishes.
We sought help for my dad, worried about PTSD and dementia resulting from his service. Through the SAS Association and Veterans’ Aid, he was referred to various healthcare facilities. Instead of professional care, he found negligence from these referrals.
In the last few years alone, he has been through multiple institutions that have failed him. We've dealt with incorrect diagnoses, doctors who tried to push him out of their care because he was "too difficult," and the removal of life-saving medication that led to him being sectioned under the Mental Health Act. He was sedated and left to decline without specialist care. His PTSD was completely ignored, and his medical history was dismissed. In one instance, he was admitted to the hospital due to low sodium caused by the excessive use of anti-psychotic medication.
The most infuriating part is the silence from the top. MPs have explicitly ignored this situation and failed to act for a Lt Col in 22 SAS. The "Military Covenant" is nothing more than a piece of paper used for photo opportunities while men like my father are left to rot.
The system has failed. The NHS has failed. Veteran charities have failed. From the MOD passing the buck to the medical incompetence of the facilities, my father has been abandoned like thousands of others.
I am posting this because we need accountability. It is not enough to simply "help" now; there must be justice for the way he was treated. My father spent four decades looking after his men and serving at the highest level for the United Kingdom; it is a national disgrace that the government failed to look after him and many like him.
Do not listen to the rhetoric the government continues to push. As this is an example of what happens after 40 years of dedicated service.
Please share this. We need the people in power to answer for this. We need leaders who actually lead, not politicians who just talk."

Halloween artificial cobweb material:
It may be a bit of fake fun for you, but it's a very real and terrifying death for them.
And it's not only birds.
Last year I had my first call of the season of a hedgehog trapped in this horrific fake 'cobweb', made especially for gullible halloweeners to spread over their greenery, trapping all unsuspecting birds, insects and mammals, including hedgehogs.
The fine synthetic fibers are difficult for animals to see and can quickly wrap around their legs, spines, and neck, leading to severe injuries.
When a hedgehog struggles to free herself the web tightens, cutting off circulation and causing deep wounds.
These constriction injuries often lead to permanent damage or death.
Unfortunately the call was from Manchester, so all I could do was talk them through getting the poor creature to a rescue.
Clearly she had been trapped there for at least one night, and her struggles had pulled the strong nylon strands so tightly that one of her toes had been amputated.
Can you imagine the pain and the sheer terror?
And then seeing dawn approach, while hanging there, tightly bound and helpless.
Aside from being stressed, dehydrated, starving and exhausted to the point of near death, she also had horrific bite/peck wounds to her face, where she had been held there, helpless, unable to curl and defend herself, while a predator tried to eat her alive.
If you have used this deadly cruel trap to 'decorate' your garden, please take it down now.
Please don't be conned by the greedy makers and sellers of this rubbish into hurting defenceless animals.

Having lunch in town with the girls @KatieStammcspp & Julia Stephenson @Vernia. A waiter looked like 1966 World Cup hero Nobby Stiles & I complimented him.
Julia asked: "Is he the lead singer of Slade?"
She's referring to Noddy Holder.

I'd rather be frowned upon than be responsible for the death of our precious wildlife and the collapse of our ecosystem.🥰
We have to break free from the brainwashing of all the greedy garden supply companies and TV shows, and recognise that natural isn't 'untidy'.
A garden isn't another room of your house, needing tidying and ornamenting. It's a living breathing space, and will only flourish and be truly balanced if allowed to be the larder and shelter that nature intended.
I know it's hard to be a pioneer, but you can lead by example.
My front garden is 'messy' to some, but even they are learning, as they walk past each day, that my garden has more life - it has more butterflies, more birds, it chirps with grasshoppers and hums with bees.
And right now, because I don't prune my buddleia, those dead flower heads are massed with noisy joyfully chirping goldfinches, enjoying the highly caloric seeds that will nourish them through winter.😊

Reminder: just yesterday we learned that:
A) a former ISIS guard for a beheading squad came to yookay illegally on a boat, obviously because of the ECHR/HRA he can't be jailed or deported, living freely;
B) SAS guys sent on missions to deal with ISIS beheaders were then arrested for MURDER for dealing with them; they were lied to by the military police; they have been told they can never be clear of the charges (because the ECHR/HRA means any time some lawyer like Jolyon or Hermer wants to team up with nutters on a ECHR case, the government will be forced to investigate again and remember Hermer's friend *invented* war crimes to bring cases against British soldiers, but obviously wasn't jailed, triples all round in the Inner Temple).
So we're importing the jihadis at scale while prosecuting for murder SAS we rely on to defend us from the jihadis - and if you don't like this you're fascist and it's a reason to ban X in yookay.
No you will not see Kemi-kasi campaign on these issues because the Tories agreed with Labour for 25 years that this combination is 'defending civilisation'. The Tories imported many of the jihadis now in the news, and the Tories approved all the worst officials and lawyers in SW1 bringing the lawfare cases, including against those who were given medals by the Queen for stopping IRA terrorist attacks - they now have to beg for cash for lawyers in their 70s/80s.
And because Reform is a bin fire which can't maintain focus on anything for 2 minutes -- like Kemi-kasi -- you probably won't see anything sustained from them either.
Cowardly politicians demand Brits prepare for war while spending 58 million pursuing brave SAS vets, causing suicide, divorce and financial ruin! All under spineless ex army officer @BenWallace70 and @BorisJohnson’s watch! Wallace only reached captain so is no military genius!

Speak to any hard-bitten older farmer around me in Somerset, or anywhere in Britain, and they will tell you that they grew up among fields teeming with corncrakes, grass snakes, hares, hedges full of yellowhammers and other songbirds, car windscreens splattered with bugs after the shortest summer drive, nearly all now gone. 98% of wildflowers, gone. Huge shoals of herring, cod, and other fish in the sea, a distant memory. Across almost every indicator, the losses during just one human lifetime have been catastrophic. The data is all there, as are the anecdotes. Britain is among the most nature-depleted countries on earth.

How patronising. Zionism is the belief in the right of Israel to exist. If you're not a Zionist you're either an Islamist or a western student politician. There is no difference between Gazans and Hammas - there is no such things as a Palestinian.
Hope that helps
I don’t think most non Jewish people have any idea of how threatened many Jews now feel in the UK. I received this from a Jewish friend;
‘Thanks for the chat today. Good to know not everyone hates us… I am finding it very difficult to deal with some of the hatred Xx’

Yes it’s true. Upto 500 mature beautiful trees will be chopped down for a bus route!
The next time your government lectures you about CO2 remind them that buses kick it out… they don’t sequester it 🤡
The C2C TWAO has been granted, with powers to compulsorily purchase land and fell hundreds of mature trees across Madingley Hill and Coton Orchard. They accept the harm is likely permanent, but approved it anyway. gov.uk/government/publicatio…

The RNLI is not a charity. It is a maritime trafficking operation with a donation tin and a government lawyer for a chair.
You believed the yellow jerseys. You believed the volunteers. You believed your pennies were saving fishermen. They were funding something else entirely.
Meet Janet Legrand. Chair since 2023. Not a captain. Not a coxswain. A senior partner at DLA Piper who built her career representing governments in international disputes. Trinity Hall Cambridge. OBE. The Children’s Society. Every credential screams globalist bureaucrat. None scream rescue. She is not there to save drowning Britons. She is there to manage cross-border legalities while her organization ferries illegal migrants to your shores.
The governance structure is a closed loop of insider control. Council appoints Trustees. Trustees appoint Executives. Executives run operations. No external oversight. No independent review. A self-perpetuating machine that selects its own leadership, sets its own strategy, and answers to nobody but the mirror.
They tell you 7,800 volunteers serve the coast. The accounts tell a different story. £93.5 million on salaries and pensions. 58.6 percent of total spending. The CEO pockets £189,000, more than the Prime Minister. These are not volunteers. These are paid operatives carrying out a mission. The volunteer myth exists to suppress wages, evade labor laws, and keep you donating to what you think is a grassroots rescue service.
But the truth is international. The RNLI founded the International Maritime Rescue Federation in 1924. Today it coordinates 160 organizations across 50 countries. It is funded by Lloyd’s Register Foundation. It managed the migrant crisis in the Aegean Sea. It supplies boats, training, and equipment to foreign rescue teams. It is a node in a global network facilitating mass migration under the legal cover of maritime rescue.
Follow the chain. HMRC provides tax relief. The Civil Service Lifeboat Fund provides restricted cash. The government lawyer sets policy. The paid crews execute operations. The international network coordinates with 160 foreign bodies. Every link is controlled. Every link is funded. Every link leads to the same destination. Your money. Your coast. Their agenda.
Why does a coastal rescue charity need a government international disputes specialist as chair? Why spend nearly sixty percent of revenue on payroll? Why coordinate with 160 global organizations? Why does the governance structure lock out the public?
The RNLI is not saving lives. It is ending Britain. And you are still paying for the rope.
