Scotland has enjoyed a Right to Roam for decades, supported by a detailed code of access that helps people enjoy nature responsibly. We hope to learn from this and create a new system of fair and responsible access in England.
Why does a right to roam mean to you?

Magnificent thread using actual evidence and not hysterical hyperbole.
🧵 Is it a super flu year? Who knows, but I think the current reporting is stupid.
A pissed off thread using data.
Firstly - here are today's headlines and some from the last 3 years... spot the difference. 1/10

Really looking forward to this. Hoping the Kent Downs feature🤞
Very excited to share that I'm writing a new book, THE GHOSTS OF CHALK COUNTRY - about the loss of England's chalk downland: a tale of flowers, fascism & freedom.

JANET:

Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?

LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine

LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:

Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.

Always struck by how far ahead the conversation is in Scotland. How quaint and bizarre they find the approach to access in the south. Everything is impossible until it's just the new normal.
