The government suppressed a report by UK intelligence services, warning of imminent, irreversible environmental collapse that will severely impact the UK and its security.

For decades, us environmentalists have been derided as nutters.

I echo George's words in this: I told you so.
Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The ECHR is the European Court of Human Rights. So, is Nigel seeking to remove human rights protections in the UK? Does it make sense to remove that for all British nationals for the sake of some criminals?

“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.”

The informal economy where undocumented migrants & asylum seekers find work despite idiotic restrictions is larger in France than the UK.

It is larger in every other European country that also have ID than the UK.

The idea you can work more easily in the UK is a lie. #r4today
