Anyone who doesn't think Donald Trump is a Dictator needs to look out of their window.

Knocking down the White House. Illegal.
Preparing to invade Venezuela without a single vote. Illegal.
Suspended the Government probably forever. Not illegal but it's what a Dictator would do.

This might also explain the slow and steady decline of common insects. I am sure they cannot avoid these pesticides either and low levels could disrupt behaviour or reduce survival rates www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Some of you might recall this story from yesterday, about a Dorset dairy farm being fined £6000 for polluting 4.5km of a river with slurry, effectively killing all wildlife in the river.

Astonishingly, this is an organic dairy farm.

Manor Farm Dairy in Dorset fined for slurry polluting river

Manor Farm Dairy has been prosecuted for allowing cattle slurry to overflow from a lagoon, polluting a nearby river for 4 kilometres.

1. Out of curiosity, I went through the feeds of some habitual tuna tormentors. I found they’re big on:
- fox hunting
- Reform UK
- antagonism to asylum seekers.
In other words, the same few antisocial (psychopathic?) men, turning up in all the bad places.
