Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is birds with a #SpikyHead, like these ground nesting Sandwich #Terns found on #Coquet & the #Farne #Islands. Visitors checking their bag & boat for #invasive predators help keep these #seabirds safe - just 1 pregnant stowaway rat can cause a big problem! #Biosecurity

More than £600 million for AI and biosecurity, plus £15 million to tackle misogyny. John Healey has announced the money, but what will it achieve?

Healey’s Budget: AI, biosecurity and misogyny
Budgets can be said to cover two varieties of subject: one is perennial - the kind of issues that arise constantly as a matter of course, and the other is topical.

I have a farming(ish) SL idea:

I have an interest in TV & film production so what about a SL about a film crew coming to Ambridge to shoot some safety/biosecurity(etc) films?

I can see a lot of humor.
