The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing. This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly rights.
When "ceasefire" actually just means genocide-as-usual.

Ever wondered what it would be like to be a rat dropping on an island waiting to be discovered by Jinx the Conservation Detection Dog? Wonder no more! We delivered some biosecurity equipment to Flat holm earlier this month and Greg and Jinx performed their routine check of the island #dogswithjobs
If you discover an invasive predator on your boat, never throw it overboard - many are very good swimmers & can travel even further if they find debris to drift on. We recommend returning to a mainland harbour & deploying appropriate control measures: biosecurityforlife.org.uk/resources/ca...
Here's our new Biosecurity Checklist for Ringers and Researches who head over to islands. Keeping these islands predator-free is integral to them remaining havens for seabirds. @btobirds.bsky.social @rspbcymru.bsky.social @birdsinwales.bsky.social @northwaleswt.bsky.social @wtsww.bsky.social

Met with Agriculture Minister @jimfairlielogie this morning to discuss the management scheme for sea eagles. We need a proper evidence base on their diet rather than scare stories of ‘horse eating eagles’ @skyeandfrisa 🦅🐴 news.stv.tv/highlands-is...
No evidence of farmer's missing Shetland ponies found in eagle nests
Five Shetland pony foals disappeared from a farm in South Uist between May and June, with the owner raising concerns that the birds of prey could be responsible.

What a phenomenal waste of time and money this project was. @naturalengland.bsky.social you should be ashamed of yourself! 🤬🤬
Raptor Persecution UK@raptorpersuk.bsky.social · 12mo agoThis was a massive distraction project, intended to draw attention away from the ongoing illegal killing on northern UK grouse moors. Maybe now NE & Defra will put their (our!) money where it really needs to go - on ramped up enforcement. #RaptorResearch raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/09/16/g...
'The police said in a statement four adults were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications after an “unauthorised projection”' Malicious communications? So much for freedom of speech! 2025 the year of the Thought Police?
