I cannot see a dead fish as a "conservation success". Bluefin tuna are still rare - they only avoid being technically endangered cos they stabilised at a tiny number. That's not a healthy population, just a stable one. Let them breed and really do well before you fish for them if you have to.

First bluefin tunas caught off Yorkshire since 1960s ‘success story’ for marine conservation

Researchers laud return of giant tuna to North Sea after being fished almost to point of extinction

It really is amazing how researchers and journal editors will avoid showing even the most basic courtesy or gratitude to sleuths who point out errors in their work. I get that it's embarrassing, but guess what: that sleuth has read your work more closely than anyone else ever will! For free!

Tice is an idiot. One thousand people dead in two months from extreme hot weather and he says - enjoy it. One hundred thousand will die in Europe this summer. Tice says see the positives….. He lives in a bubble disconnected from ordinary people and their reality.

BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?

I neither watch nor participate in sport, but hats off to these fabulous women who won gold so (seemingly) effortlessly. Of course it was actually the result of years of hard work & sacrifice. Equal hats off to the men who won gold a few minutes earlier. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athlet...

No, that is not the alternative The alternative was treating like a normal news story, and not a trial by media - one that was so clearly turbocharged by Arday’s ethnic and social background and the growing resentment in the establishment in the UK of having more black people in high places

Terry Watkins@gerrygow.bsky.social · 6d ago

The alternative to this is people lying with impunity, with the media knowingly covering it up. It's an awful story. And the media will get a lot of the blame. But those who perpetuated the lies and shielded Arday from facing up to them deserve more of it.

The polio vaccine, once given on a sugar cube in the UK, has helped protect millions from a life changing disease. Thanks to the NHS vaccination programme, polio is now extremely rare in the UK. Vaccination works. ✅

Not in the way Farage wants to interpret it, it doesn’t. Elections give an MP the right to represent their constituents and vote in Parliament, not to avoid scrutiny, the law or due process. He can try to confuse democracy and demagoguery if he wishes: the enquiry into the £5 million continues.

The only things this ridiculous Clacton by-election farce have confirmed: 1) Farage is wholly unfit for public office, given his willingness to abuse it 2) Farage is corrupt 3) Farage is an attention-seeking, charmless, lying dickhead 4) Clacton has let us all down. Again. That’s it.

An adult bull elephant carrying a septic arrow wound to his side is not a patient you can bring to a clinic. The clinic has to come to him. Our SWT/KWS Southern Vet Unit – supported by Wildlife Works and KWS field teams – reached this bull at Choke Ranch, cleaned the wound and treated him.
