Lough Neagh is a major environmental disaster.

Sam McBride@sjamcbride.bsky.social

Factory farming is killing Lough Neagh – and despite Andrew Muir’s opposition to this, he’s incentivising it. Muir is a radically different minister - yet his ‘kill them young’ scheme is squeezing out traditional farming and encouraging US-style megafarms.

A ban on lead in gunshot!

BirdLife Europe & Central Asia@birdlifeeurope.bsky.social

WE WON. Lead in gunshot will finally be banned across the EU! Just now, the European Parliament approved in plenary the Commission's proposal to restrict lead in gunshot. This decision ends years of debate on one of Europe's most persistent forms of lead pollution.

11 people murdered to get marching here and it’s reduced to both sides need to behave. We mean nothing to these people and have to pay taxes for the privilege of indifference

The Parades Commission bottled this adjudication, having been caught out literally phoning in decisions. The courts must show that procedural mistakes must not become dangerous real-world mistakes. Many lives have already been lost because the Orange Order demands supremacy above equality.

These are the deaths connected to the parade route that got the go ahead today. Telling residents that they need to build bridges feels particularly perverse

Housing? Fucked Health care? Fucked Budgetary concerns? Fucked Sectarianism? Full throttle

alt-DUP@duponline.eurosky.social

We have record housing waiting lists, record health waiting lists, and a record budget deficit. There's a direct correlation to all of the above and our politicians arguing about long since decided events.

5 Whooper Swans flew over the lane this morning, at 10:37. Male Stonechat perched on a hedge, not always seen on the lane. At least 5 Meadow Pipits hanging around as well. #UkBirding #PatchBirding As well as butterflies still lingering.
