The ruminant family, and the one job each of them does that nothing else on earth can.
The cow turns a wet hillside into beef and milk, and leaves the soil better than she found it.
The sheep grows a fireproof, waterproof, compostable coat every year, out of grass and rain, and then gives it away for the price of a haircut.
The goat eats the bramble, the scrub and the invasive weed that strangles everything else, and asks only for a weak point in the fence.
The water buffalo makes the milk that becomes real mozzarella, standing in marsh a cow would sink in.
The yak gives milk at an altitude that would kill a lowland animal in a week, and carries your bags up there as well.
The reindeer feeds and clothes entire peoples above the Arctic Circle, on lichen and moss, in the dark, for months.
The bison built the deepest soil on the planet by walking across it and eating.
Seven animals, one gift each, and not one of them can be replaced by a crop, a machine or a sachet.
Every one of them is classed, this decade, as a liability on a spreadsheet by somebody who has never been cold.
Proper politicians need to grasp this issue, rather than leave it to clowns to push their warped agendas
No part of our modern economy is attributable to slavery. If any pot of gold ever existed it was burnt through in two World Wars
To pay reparations we would have to…1/3
I have tabled a parliamentary motion officially rejecting all calls for any slavery reparations or apology demands.
My motion recognises the unique role Britain played in abolishing the slave trade, and actually demands African and Caribbean countries to accept that and formally acknowledge our contribution.
It goes one step further and calls for the termination of all foreign aid and visas for countries participating in any reparation demands.
All supportive MPs are welcome to sign, and if you agree with the motion - please ask your MP to back it. They have all been invited...
I am proud of our history, and you should be too.

…borrow money future generations would have to pay back
West African polities sold slaves, if any reparation is due it is from them to their own people
The US abolished slavery and then became the richest country in the world, but the Caribbean nations did not… 2/3

Taking a share of the global market doesn’t increase global oil use. Both parts of the party - the eco lot and the Gaza lot - are unsuitable for government.
Government support for drilling at #Jackdaw takes a wrecking ball to any pretence of UK climate leadership & pours fuel on an overheating world - and for what? It’s equivalent to just 2 months of UK gas demand, creates just 27 direct jobs & has *no* impact on energy bills🧵1/4

This misses the point really, whether Putin successfully interfered or not, the result was what he had wanted.
Russia tried but failed to interfere in the Brexit referendum. Confirmed by the security minister. Confirmed by the Foreign Office. Burnham should apologise to the British people in the Commons today for trying to delegitimise the result with his half truths. Shameful.

We won WWII because of sheep. Germans culturally ate a lot more pork and pigs compete for the same food sources as humans. Sheep provide food from land nothing else can. And wool.
How sheepish is Europe? This map shows the distribution of sheep across Europe. Source: buff.ly/dSfHDOe

An influencer claims her holiday has been ruined after paying a Cornish local £50 for directions to a secret beach.
Surrey-based content creator Chardonnay Skye, known online as ChardOnTour, had been searching for somewhere to film on Cornwall’s north coast.
“I was hoping to have a beach to myself to make content, but there were tourists everywhere,” she explained.
After stopping several people on the coast path and asking if they were local, Chardonnay eventually found one.
“I asked him if he knew any secret beaches. He looked around, lowered his voice and whispered, ‘I can, but it’ll cost ya.’”
After handing over £50, she was instructed to take another path and walk for approximately one mile.
“After about 20 minutes, I reached a car park and thought I’d gone too far. I didn’t want to ask anyone where the beach was in case they found it and I didn’t get it to myself.”
Three hours later, as darkness approached, she finally gave in.
“I found another local and explained that it was okay to tell me where the secret beach was, because I’d already paid somebody else for the information.”
The man allegedly burst out laughing and replied, “You’ve been had, bird. The nearest beach is about ten miles that way and it’s not secret.”
Chardonnay has since declared that her holiday has been “completely ruined” and vowed never to return to Cornwall.
Thick as 🐖 💩. Influencer my arse. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Proclaim it…
Ultra-runner Rob Pope is taking on a 500-mile journey to help reconnect Britain with where its food comes from. 🏃
He will travel on foot from Ayrshire to Brighton, visiting the farms, factories and communities behind British food along the way.
It comes as new research reveals a third of the public feels more disconnected than ever from food production, while almost a quarter believes most food sold in the UK is imported.
