Let's be clear. The proposal to deport hundreds of thousands of people born in Britain to parents legally resident in Britain, just because they are black or brown, is not 'right populism'. It's the cornerstone policy of the 1970s National Front.

Funny how the headline says “nutrient found in eggs lowers Alzheimer’s risk” instead of “choline found in broccoli, lentils, almonds, soya milk, cauliflower, kidney beans, tofu, quinoa, and peanuts lowers Alzheimer’s risk” - almost like it was paid for by the egg industry 🥚💰

I recommend this article. Everyone should know just how much we’re being fleeced, how ill- prepared we are to deal with drought, and how much we’re prioritised compared to big business ( not at all) - and then read the last paragraph x2.

The end of the life of a spent #dairy cow 👺 When you are not profitable anymore you will be sent to slaughter. If you can’t walk they will drag you. Dairy cows on average are murdered when 5-6 years old. A cow can live 20-25 years when treated well. #DitchDairy TODAY #GoPlantbased NOW #LiveVegan ✌️

A gobsmacking story. Water companies let toxic waste disposers, for cash, dump their loads into sewage farms. The sewage sludge is then spread, untested, on farmland, potentially poisoning vast areas, entire ecosystems and the people (you and me) eating the food.
