Appalling plan to destroy beautiful and bio-diverse orchard
« on: September 30, 2023, 08:15:09 AM »
"In the interest of the environment"! (That's not a direct quote, but a summary of Cambridgeshire County Council's argument.) Not only are they destroying an important site of bio-diversity, they are building yet another bloody road. This must be stopped.

I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

Unfortunately, I can't blame this on the Tories, because (from Wikipedia)...

Felling trees in the interests of climate change? Can people please stop and think about what they are saying?

One electric bus route is going to do bugger all for climate change. A beautiful orchard doesn't do much either but there are environment considerations other than climate change.
