There seems to be a collective insanity about climate change where the solutions seem to involve accelerating ecological collapse.

Found this in a drain pipe in Dartmouth high street a few years back.

I couldn't work out how it was growing!

And I'm sure it's got nothing specifically to do with the genocide in Gaza which not just him but Kamala supported?

Josh Simons was one of those people that broke things.

He helped undermine his own party under Corbyn. He got into trouble for smearing journalists.

He's part of the reason people are cynical about politics and adds to my cynicism about Burnham's motives.
