The multi-millionaire who bought farmland to avoid tax…

And the man who decimated farming to progress his own career

…are now the self-appointed saviours of farming

On today’s pod we discuss how people have lost their damned minds.

Victoria Derbyshire nails Jeremy Clarkson over his Inheritance Tax scam.

Hilarious to watch him squirm.

The Death Cap (Amanita phalloides) is the most poisonous of all mushrooms, responsible for 90% of fungi-related deaths each year. Famous victims include Emperor Claudius and Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI. The toxic constituent is α-Amanitin, which causes liver and kidney failure. #fungifriends 🍄

Here is deadly Galerina Marginata. Its common names include funeral bell, deadly skullcap, autumn skullcap and deadly galerina. This is an extremely poisonous fungi containing the same deadly amatoxins as the death cap (Amanita phalloides). #fungifriends

On St Agnes’ Eve, these climactic lines from Keats:

‘…he arose
Ethereal, flush'd, and like a throbbing star
Seen mid the sapphire heaven's deep repose;
Into her dream he melted, as the rose
Blendeth its odour with the violet,—
Solution sweet.’

#poetry /3

In the rooms heaped high with childrens’ clothes, hairbrushes, suitcases with names, I cried

But not so in the chamber where they died

The grey cemented walls held no clues
No personal remains
But all scrubbed bare

#poetry /2

There were no temporary huts or corrugated rooves,
Nor ruts between confinement blocks pitted by fear
No makeshift madness born of panic here.

But row by row, the red brick buildings storeys high
Looped and twisted in electric wire

This place was built for generations to come

They said it was a place where no birds sung
But there were birds
Somewhere in the trees above
Between the shadows
It was not dead.

Over the gates in iron
Wrought strange determined words
‘Arbeit Macht Frei’
But there only my mind tried to free itself
From this reality
