offsite link The Truth About Britain?s Wildfires Thu Aug 21, 2025 15:00 | Paul Homewood
It is simplistic to blame the recent spike in wildfires on climate change, writes Paul Homewood. A more likely cause is the rewilding of uplands, supposedly to cut carbon emissions, and poor management of forested land.

He's in there for us, we're out here for him!

Consider writing a solidarity letter/postcard to Elijah Smith - in an English jail for resisting the bombing of Gaza!

Elijah Smith remains in jail in England as a result of the nonviolent decommissioning action at EDO Arms Company in Brighton during the recent Israeli bombing of Gaza.

EDO provides components to Israeli F16's that were being used extensively over Gaza at the time of the action. 6 Bristol based anti-war activists entered the company's premises and nonviolently decommissoned EDO.

3 other Brighton based activists were also arrested and are due to go to trial in Brighton on the same date - October 26th 2009. The other 8 good folks have since been granted bail, Elijah remains in prison on remand.
