Released on May 16th, my book with the film maker Peter Hutchison:

The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism (& How It Came to Control Your Life).

With many thanks for these wonderful endorsements by some very inspiring people:

Agreed.

And here in Ireland, the deer hunting orgs always vehemently oppose measures to reduce out-of-control deer populations, or reclassify species like sika as what they are: invasive, seeing in them a threat to their sport.

Just left hosp after 8 days. 99% of the consultants, nurses, cleaners, & assistants were POC from Pakistan, India & Africa. Dread to think what these expert skilled professionals go through waiting for the bus to get into work & back home after a 12hr shift.

To be very clear here:

If someone has their hands tied behind their backs, regardless of whether they were a combatant or not, they are classed as “hors de combat”.

Under the Geneva Convention, they are non-combatants and protected people, and it’s a war crime to kill them

When I stand in spots like this, a diverse young native forest with a rich ground flora rapidly moving in, and remember back to when it was just barren grasses 12 years ago, it truly feels as if I've witnessed a miracle.

And you know what?

I have: a miracle of nature. 🌏

I cycled the carlingford greenaway yesterday. Unfortunately the entire length had been sprayed with glyphosate on both sides. I support the expansion and extention of cycle infrastructure but we need to be aware that they often go through environmentally sensitive areas.

Agri-industrialists constantly try to portray farmers as a single bloc, because it suits their totally false narrative of 'enviros vs. rural communities', a cloak for continued destruction of nature for profit.

But, just like urban-dwellers, there are MASSIVE income disparities.

Eoghan Daltun 🌍 Definitely eat more venison, then perhaps we won't eat as much beef. Venison much healthier than beef as well. A win-win situation.

A surprising number of replies are openly stating there are no Israeli civilians and that all Israelis are legitimate targets. To be clear, that language is exactly the genocidal language of Israeli leadership justifying the genocide in Gaza. If this is you, rethink yourself.

In this instance, as the trees mature they'll shade out the bracken and it'll become just another part of the forest flora.

But if the site were heavily grazed, there'd be no trees, just loads of bracken. Bracken dominance is a direct result of overgrazing.

Wild woodland flora: dog violet, celandine, wild strawberry, herb Robert.

No human artifice can match nature for simple, unassuming beauty. 🌎

What to do about too many deer killing off our native forests?

Eat more venison?
Bring back their natural predators?

Both!!!
