“Island where it constantly rains is experiencing another drought” by Laura and Normal Island News on Substack @uk_politics “When Margaret Thatcher made England and Wales the only countries in the world with fully privatised water, the naysayers argued it was a terrible idea. Today, everyone agrees privatisation has been a roaring success. It has delivered an impressive rise in customer bills which has coincided with an equally impressive rise in shareholder profits. These improvements were delivered through efficiency savings, such as not building any reservoirs since 1992 and forgetting about silly ideas like sewage treatment. Thanks to neoliberalism, turds are now a common sight at our beaches and marine life is not” https://open.substack.com/pub/normalislandnews/p/island-where-it-constantly-rains #Press #SocialMedia #UK #Drought #WaterPrivatization #ShareholderValue #NeoLiberalism #Thatcher

The Atmosphere of My High School Exams in Gaza. ❗ Last year, I finished high school amid war, displacement, famine, and bombardment. During a ceasefire, my school held in-person exams to ensure fair results. I contracted Hepatitis A during the exam period, yet still graduated with 98%, ranking among the highest-performing students across Palestinian Al-Azhar Institutes and earning the highest Physics mark in Gaza that year. Now I’m raising funds to change this reality and reach University of Glasgow. If you're able to help, the link is in my bio. Sharing this campaign could help me reach someone who can. Your donation will do more than help me attend university. It will give me the chance to build a career in technology, support my family, and create a future beyond war. #gaza #palestine #donate #glasgow #scotland #uk #education

#UK Urban canals reduce daytime temperatures by an average of around 0.8°C within their immediate surroundings, typically 20-50 metres away from the water Cooling is strongest during spring and early summer, reaching around 1.2-1.4°C During heatwaves, canals can lower nearby temperatures by 1.5-2.3°C The cooling effect substantially reduced the number of hours when people in the vicinity of canals would experience moderate and high heat stress https://www.nationaltribune.com.au/urban-canals-can-cut-temperatures-by-more-than-2c-during-heatwaves/ #ClimateChange #climate

Replying to @mlanger@mastodon.world
@mlanger@mastodon.world Yes. Numerous locks are closed due to water shortages. Last year CRT closed most of the Midlands with only a week notice. During that week, locks were restricted to a narrow band of hours. There was frantic #boating that week—at 3 miles per hour—as people got their boats to the right places for winter. Last month, as water levels dropped, I could see it coming. I make a 150-mile detour around closed locks to reach the section that has my winter marina. #CRT #stoppage #UK #drought

Wir schreiben das Jahr 2026 und algorithmische Konzernmedien wie TikTok (das in China selbst verboten ist…) verhetzen & radikalisieren leichtgläubige Menschen. So erhält die blinde Influencerin Kitty Hinde aus Großbritannien derzeit Beschimpfungen & Todesdrohungen, weil ein anonymer TikTok -Account behauptet hat, sie habe ihren Freund verlassen, weil er „hässlich“ gewesen sei. Und sich dann von einem neuen Partner beklauen lassen. Nichts davon stimmt & es zeigt einfach nur wieder, dass algorithmische Konzernmedien sehr gezielt die Einsamkeit, Dummheit und Bosheit von Menschen bespielen, um Dauer-wütende Thymoten aus ihnen zu machen. Habe vor Jahren Facebook, Instagram und X hinter mir gelassen & spüre die Verbesserung der Lebensqualität, Urteils- und Dialogfähigkeit deutlich. #Medienethik #TikTok #HassundHetze #Sexismus #Ableismus #KittyHinde #UK #Influencerin #Manchester https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/influencer-receiving-death-threats-over-34430139

Incredible picture from metro in Kyiv, which is attacked by bombs daily as aggressor russia tries to destroy #Ukraine’s economy and population. Because of the blood lust of the criminal Moscow regime. russia will never succeed though. But my heart goes out to the very brave #Ukrainians. I implore all of Europe to join them in their fight and that we could crush the russians together. #Ukraine #eu #EuropeanUnion #news #uk

#UK UK farming not prepared for threat of new diseases amid changing weather New diseases brought on by changing weather patterns could impact Britain's plants and animals, a dairy farmer has warned National Farmers' Union deputy president Paul Tompkins told The Independent: "The UK is not well-prepared for emerging diseases "As our weather patterns change, we are going to be impacted by new diseases for our animals and our plants that we haven't come across before." https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/farming-weather-climate-change-bluetongue-virus-b3029322.html
