“The whole UK population of wild salmon is on the endangered list. This river has a flow limit & Southern Water wants to reduce that by a third. If you do this, you have now effectively banished an endangered species to oblivion” ⁦Feargal Sharkey⁩ theguardian.com/business/2025/…

Nearly half the British public seems to think that illegal migrants outnumber those here legally. In fact legal migration outnumbers illegal migration by at least 10 to 1.

Very straight, vveeerrrry windy, very sky-y, but - oddly - not very dull! The New Junction canal, straight as a ruler through flat countryside in the final whimper of Storm Floris.

I don’t know one woman who would tell you that having random groups of men who are private citizens aggressively patrolling the streets would make them feel safer.

It’s very difficult to do books on TV but Between the Covers got it right. Just the sort of show the BBC should be doing. I know they’re short of funds but this is a real shame.

How amusing.... CRT Boating have blocked me (and apparently lots of others) for daring to ask about issues around low water levels.....doesnt really help to build a good relationship does it?! Boaters are not allowed to voice their concerns to their landlord!

Imagine taking your child to the hospital. The doctor explains that your child has an illness, but your level of medical care does not cover this illness. This is the American system which Farage wants. The NHS treats any illness free of charge regardless of your income.

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage. Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants. Don't fall for it.

We seem to get a lot of really fast (30mph+) electric bikes, which I think are illegal on the towpaths. Very dangerous 😳
