I listened yesterday to a radio debate between an AllianceLGB spokesperson and a journalist applauding some Labour Leadership candidates for signing a pledge calling on the Party to expel “transphobic” members. A trans caller made an interesting contribution, saying that women are women, an immutable biological fact, and trans women are trans women, not women.… Continue reading Exasperated trans Labour supporter

Tories Ape Trump
Watching some aspects of the election with a sort of morbid curiosity, you can’t deny the Tories’ tactics aren’t fascinating. They saw Trump and how he won, looked at our voters, and calculated. They clearly think there is a big enough section of the electorate that will let them do similar. The likes of Rees-Mogg… Continue reading Tories Ape Trump
Do you think consuming meat or dairy is OK?
Amazon forrest is burned and cleared. Powerful insecticide is applied up to nine meters deep to kill everything on or in the land. Huge ships hoover up massive quantities of fish at sea, which are then liquidised and used to fertilise the sterilised land, to grow soya. The soya is harvested and sent to Europe… Continue reading Do you think consuming meat or dairy is OK?
Trouble With Palm Oil
Appropriating natural habitats for agricultural use is a leading cause of thousands of species going extinct every year. Orangutans are unwitting ambassadors for those species that are, or soon will be, sent into oblivion. Expanding and new palm oil plantations, probably the most important vegetable oil of all, is the main driver of deforestation in… Continue reading Trouble With Palm Oil
Fish feel fear and pain, just like us
Fish feel fear and pain, the clear scientific evidence is shows this is the same as for mammals and birds, yet they are treated as insentient beings and made to suffer in a way we would call torture and find totally unacceptable on land. It is staggering that a so-called civilised and rational society still… Continue reading Fish feel fear and pain, just like us
EU Referendum decision is simple – and all about war
Possibly the single best reason for Britain’s continued membership of the European Union (EU) is that the EU prevents wars. Following war between France and Germany three times in 70 years (arguably four), the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC ) was founded shortly after World War 2 by six nations, making them industrially and economically… Continue reading EU Referendum decision is simple – and all about war
Don’t vote to maim and kill Syrian children in my name
Bombing Syria will uselessly waste lives. I have written to my MP asking him not vote to maim and kill defenceless children in my name. “Dear Mr Bebb I am writing to tell you that, as a constituent, I do not want you to vote on my behalf to bomb Syria.Air strikes alone will not… Continue reading Don’t vote to maim and kill Syrian children in my name
Your holiday snaps may not breach copyright after all – update
Update on my post about your holiday snaps possibly soon infringing EU copyright laws. Labour MEP, Derek Vaughan has told me the EU committee vote that wanted to take away some of your rights to photograph buildings and monuments has no legal effect. But the European Commission will propose a wide-ranging copyright reform by the… Continue reading Your holiday snaps may not breach copyright after all – update
Your holiday snaps could soon breach copyright!
Copyright law changes could mean tens of thousands of images of public places in Europe could have to be deleted from sites like Wikipedia, and your holiday snaps could land you in bother! Oh, dear, the EU doing itself no favours, again. In the UK, and most of the EU, you can take photos of… Continue reading Your holiday snaps could soon breach copyright!
Have your say on Wi-Fi on trains
The Government has started a consultation called, “Improving mobile communications to UK rail passengers: Call for evidence”. Sounds a bit daunting, but you don’t have to answer all questions (or do them all at once). It’s your chance to have a say, don’t give them an excuse to let profiteers have the service because you… Continue reading Have your say on Wi-Fi on trains
