This is how we should see these magnificant animals, not hauled up on a boat or in fillets on a slab. We should no more catch or kill this rare and stunning megafauna than we should trap or kill tigers or whales. Here are some more of Rupert’s photos from yesterday, with his kind permission.

There aren't many days when you can kayak off Start Point, renowned for one of Britain's most dangerous tidal races. But yesterday the stars aligned, so I bunked off work. Delighted to see Rupert Kirkwood (the Lone Kayaker) out there. He took this picture of me +1. Before you ask: yes, it's real. 🧵

You should understand this stuff not as analysis of public opinion - since when did the lads give a fuck about that? - and not even as threats. These are promises: we, the press, are now going to fuck you up, and we won’t stop screaming until your lives are utterly miserable.

Green MP Adrian Ramsay says he opposed the motion because it didn't align with green values & he cites the partys support for self determination
If self-determination requires the dispossession & displacement of another people its not self determination, its ethnic cleansing & colonisation

I have heard rumours that Richard Tice heads a company called Britain Means Business, that has no employees and sells no products but takes in very large donations from foreign based people and forwards them to Reform UK Ltd. I can't believe this is true, but if it is it should bring down Reform.

On 18 September, sabs caught the Heythrop Hunt's huntsman running away with a dead fox, leaving blood and some remains on the ground.
This is the same hunt which is supported by Tory leader Kemi Badenoch. She gave a speech at the Hunt's fundraiser earlier this year.

The sexual abuse of women and children appears to be a globally accepted phenomenon. I would say it's a hideous timeline but this has happened forever. Until we make the punishment fit the crime it will continue and yes, it's white privilege again

No Cure for pedophilia. A pedo can have 100s of victims over their career. Only way to keep children safe is incarceration! Both therapy & castration have low success rates. Over over we see society not choosing to protect children allowing generations of abuse to continue. This is the patriarchy.

Sadly, this will neither be a surprise to Hongkongers nor, of course, what they want: "a more realistic scenario is that [the powers that be] will probably conclude the only way to increase tourism dollars is to pack in even more mainland visitors, at the expense of Hongkongers’ quality of life."
A little something about the current trends of mainland tourist spending in Hong Kong. The magnitude of the decrease over the past few years may still surprise you
