REVEALED: Willow trees on Dartmoor common owned by Prince William deliberately poisoned with herbicide
This is an outrageous act of sabotage. Dartmoor’s commons are virtually treeless already, due to centuries of overgrazing by sheep. The culprit must be found:

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

What's frustrating about #Budget2025 is the wasted year.
Labour could have scrapped the two-child limit, cut energy bills and done a freeze on rail fares in last year's Budget.
Instead they tried to target pensioners and disabled people, and were forced into embarassing u-turns and lost goodwill.

the bbc changed their article from saying 'trans woman' to saying 'biological male who identifies as a woman'.
even if you don't care about trans ppl it should alarm you just how captured the bbc has become.
they will no longer even say 'trans woman'. that's not normal and shows massive bias.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
