Fire & Rescue Service: " Don’t use sky lanterns to show your support for the NHS"
Do not use eco-destructive Chinese / sky lanterns to support the NHS
Very pretty to watch admittedly - but with negative ramifications for the fragile ecosystem.
Back in April, Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service urged those in the county to avoid using sky lanterns at all costs. This is because of the fire risk they pose, especially during a time when moorland is tremendously dry and combustible - posing serious risk to wildlife and the environment.
A spokesperson for Lancashire Fire and Rescue Se...

Cashless society con – an affront to our liberty
Society going cashless is not for your convenience. It is for the enhancement of some very powerful financial interests who have been feverishly lobbying governments to abolish your hard-earned cash.
Going cashless instantly makes us a target. Large sections of the industry want to force us to go cashless so that they can sell data on our personal shopping practices.
Big Brother is watching you and your money but he wants to know more about your personal spending habits.

May Day Pagan Festivity - but beware the dangers of blind traditionalism!
This splendid month gains its name from the Roman/Greek fertility goddess Maia, mother of the god Mercury. She was equated with Fauna, Cybele and Ops; goddesses who were greatly loved and appreciated by the masses.
Faunas feast day was held on the first night of May. It was a sanctified event exclusive to women, as the men honoured Faunas masculine consort, Faunus, instead.
During Faunas gala wine and music blended with mystical ritual. This formed a strange yet joyous combination of...

Mersey Tidal Power but at what cost to the ancient ecosystem?
The hypocritical Church of Climate Alarmism is now threatening wildlife habitat on our doorstep.
So, in line with questionable climate ideals, as proposed by Saint Greta and her schoolyard skivers, the Sefton authorities now plan to embark upon a draconian and uber-costly Mersey tidal power project.
The Mersey Estuary and the Mersey Narrows and Wirral Foreshore are both designated as internationally important Special Protection Areas (SPAs) for their shore-bird assemblages. However, Labour MP...
