Absolutely shocking! South West Water recommended to
Surfers Against Sewage - Cornwall demo today to not go forward with the swimming protest due to their own sewage discharges.

They treat nature like it has no voice.
But it does. Yours, ours, and millions more.
If you believe nature deserves better than this, make sure your MP hears it loud and clear:

Tell the UK Government they must do better for nature!
I've just emailed my MP to tell them what nature means to me and that I want it to stay protected. Will you take action too?

Last night the Government steamrollered its Planning Bill through, slamming the door on vital protections for nature.
They said it would be a ‘win-win’ for the economy and nature.
But in reality, they’ve pushed nature into last place.

Many thanks to all who emailed Penryn Town Council to register their opposition to glyphosate spraying on Penryn streets. Together we managed to win this vote and postpone the selection of contractors. Many thanks to Cllrs Hanks, Hart, Spry Leverton and Hepworth for speaking out.

Help me protecting the bees in #Penryn ! On Monday, Penryn Town Council will be voting to appoint a company to spray 23 Km of highways with Glyphosate, a known bee-killing pesticide.
I am asking the community to help me to convince the council to reconsider.

I can't overstate how Bluesky is a breath of fresh air compared to Facebook or Twitter. A lot less toxic, bitter and negative political debates and comments.

Good news on transport for Penryn residents: the Class 125
/Castle class trains will be replaced by 26x Class 175 from upcountry (pictured). This will help with modernising our local train fleet. Unfortunately, still no news of the UK-wide project to replace 150s that are running on our branch line

Appalling. I agree that SuperVoyagers are now due for replacement or complete refurbishment. They are unfit for radail operations, let alone long distance trips.
Ah yes, now I remember why I don’t go up north very often.
The crosscountry train from Durham to Cornwall takes 9 hours at the best of times, and today it’s over an hour late… the toilet door is broken… and the rainwater is literally coming in from the ceiling and dripping onto my seat.
👍👍👍

vous êtes nombreuxes à me demander le nom du bar : c'est le dubliners, dont le patron n'a pas bougé le petit doigt.
un pote a été agressé par les fafs brestois dans un bar. ils l'ont vu entrer, lui ont demandé "t'es de quel bord politique?" et boum.
mais les antimégabassines, les écolos qui balancent de la peinture sur des vitres et les économistes qui veulent que les riches contribuent, c'est ça le vrai danger.
