In a surprising turn of events, the French have declared war on Chris Philp www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I would too. Ridiculous. Ours are clearing their garden for a massive ’party deck’. Not looking forward to these parties. 😕

French tv reporting live from Bordeaux at an evacuation centre Talking about how they’re looking after all the animals too - have a vet on site It’s rare for news reporting to talk about how disasters like fire affect animals too

I didn’t know that. A great policy. And one that benefits the NT in the longer run, I’d guess.

Talking about apprenticeships… I’m really impressed by the National Trust, who ask for fairly minimal qualifications in maths and English (equivalent to functional skills) and will give you support to gain these if you don’t already have them.

Yuk. Sounds a challenging interaction.

These neighbours took it down because it was “too messy”. I loathe them.

I was thinking that I could have taken Labour Party leaflets and tried to force them on her. She would have been outraged…… I did wonder why she avoided a double seat and came to sit on the outside seat to my window seat.

That is a shame. Our trees officer is very keen on protecting as many trees as possible, which I approve of. People appeal against TPOs for silly reasons. Last week it was that their tenants wouldn’t want to sweep up leaves in the garden!

I had someone on the bus try to give me a leaflet with a cross on it an something about Jesus, she tried to talk to me about it but I just said ‘don’t harass people on buses, I wouldn’t do it to you’. She then started appealing to the other passengers ‘do you feel I’m harassing you?’ Awful people.

There's a reason I have over-ear noise cancelling headphones 😈

There seems to be a glitch where people I’ve followed for ages are flagged up as having posted in German or some other language.

Sensible policy klaxon 🚨 Currently, if a 16 year old chooses to stay in school/college, their family can keep claiming benefits as before (notably child benefit). If they opt for an apprenticeship, the benefits stop. The system discourages apprenticeships. The DWP just announced a fix 🧵

Apprentices will now be eligible for a £4,500 bursary, so that there's no longer a financial disincentive to take up an apprenticeship. Seems eminently sensible, especially for a government looking to promote technical post-16 routes. www.gov.uk/government/n...

If you think someone’s going to cut down a valuable tree you can report it to the trees officer at the council. They’ll investigate and if they think it warrants it they will put a tree preservation order on it. This is how they work out where to put TPOs, if they get a tip off about a tree felling.

one of the most frustrating things about what Rowling has turned into is how hard it is to explain to offline people that she’s not just another author who has turned out to have shitty views - her entire life and fortune is dedicated to destroying trans people

It seems highly unlikely that the French Navy would want to "intimidate" Philp to prevent the interview he was conducting, even if they were aware of it: news.sky.com/video/senior..., and he is hardly a reliable source: bsky.app/profile/chri...
