Tell the BBC: Save Winterwatch!
The UK is losing its wildlife, and shows like Winterwatch are vital for connecting us to nature. The BBC's decision to cancel it makes no sense. Let's ask them to rethink this! Add your name here:

Still scarcely any mainstream coverage of this massive story, despite the new and separate scandal involving James Orr. This is not just double standards. I'm struggling to detect any standards at all.
The Jason Arday story is by no means the biggest scandal at Cambridge University. I'm sure the media is going to pick this up and run with it in just the same way ...

Governments rescued the financial system by issuing future money (quantitative easing). They cannot rescue the food system if it starts to collapse by issuing future food. No one in government seems to have grasped what this means. A horror beyond contemplation, which could happen at any moment.

I can't believe, in the middle of another heatwave, the Government is seriously considering letting a new gas field go ahead. Ed Miliband must block this plan. Agree? Join me and add your name to this new petition against the Jackdaw gas field: 38d.gs/fhc5
