It’s yet another instance of successive governments’ bizarrely lopsided version of “fiscal discipline”, which counts the costs of action, but not the costs of inaction. On a conservative estimate, illegal dumping costs the economy in England £1bn a year." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/01/organised-waste-crime-dump-uk-environment?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other01 Apr 2026 12:18 +0000at://did:plc:yfix3tluar4iirywwyesls2v/app.bsky.feed.post/3migof6apis2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/willpayne.bsky.social/post/3mdvu3zteec24Fox hunters are scum.

"Israel has strongly denied allegations of genocide relating to the ongoing war in Gaza." It's not their job to tell the country what Israel denies, it's their job to look at the (overwhelming) evidence of genocide and call it what it is. https://share.google/wZmFeNlv9uuLXxEGV30 Jun 2025 23:24 +0000at://did:plc:yfix3tluar4iirywwyesls2v/app.bsky.feed.post/3lsudeztjvs2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/willpayne.bsky.social/post/3lsh47sx3w22g"If the entire Greenland ice sheet melted, global sea levels would rise by 24 feet.
