Some context associated with the Devon wetlands land grab superbly written by @georgemonbiot.bsky.social
Today's column is about the government's huge, unprecedented assault on nature ... and about the eerie, astonishing silence of the big nature groups. The RSPB, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts have 7.5m members between them. A vast force, completely unmobilised. 🧵

They just don't seem to get that these are peaceful protests that do not require policing. If it were not for Braverman, Cooper and now Mahmood's draconian protest laws which they are intent on expanding, police cover would be minimal.
