Farmer protests and the dangers of conservatism

The closure of Port Talbot is due to brexit, not net zero
Tata, the owners of the steel works at Port Talbot in Wales, recently announced they were shutting down this historic plant, with the immediate loss of 3000 jobs. This will be devastating to the local community, as this is the … Continue reading

Debunking right wing myths: Ultra Low Emission Zones

Holiday Catchup – the calm before the storm
I’ve been on my holidays back in Ireland. It was nice to get away from the mad house that was the UK for a wee while. A lot seems to have happened since then. Zombie government and the looming winter … Continue reading
