We can heed the science, connect the dots, and refuse to fund poultry production, or we can post a sad face reaction on social media about swan deaths, chow down on a roast bird, and practice farewelling our ICU-ailing relatives via Zoom ✍️Kate Werner
When will we learn: Our diet kills chickens, swans, and soon enough, us?
Kate Werner Once again, the bird flu alarm is ringing, this time triggered by the deaths of a dozen swans in Fendrod Lake, Swansea, with a sign nearby claiming that the birds showed signs of avian flu...

Workers at unskilled jobs deserve solidarity and dignity, and we should support them however we can as they organize to fight for recognition and respect.

If this policy really was enacted, I would hope to see civil disobedience and non-compliance with the state across civic society in an attempt to disrupt and block it. Countries have the right to enforce borders, not steal people's stuff for performative cruelty.

If you blame migrants collectively for the horrible actions of a few but do not hold white people collectively responsible when white people commit heinous crimes, that's racism. Just saying.

A fair critique here. And one that's been made before but no one in government seems to want to listen. The Curriculum for Wales requires Welah history to be taught at all levels but never specifies what that means in practice. It needs to be far more directive.

Being an academic is like carrying an armload full of balls. Sometimes you pick up new balls and add to the pile, but most of the time other people are putting balls in your pile. Eventually you start dropping balls and then people get upset with you. But no one can hold all the balls at once.

Just stupid. The govt's hands-off idleness in Higher Education means that universities don't pick students and enforce their offers - students dictate to unis who they'll take. This is why you don't try to 'govern' with a quasi-market and a joke regulator. (1/2)
