Diet bonus?

NatureScot has authorised the parking of beaver families in the River Ness in the name of promoting biodiversity. If they get about a bit, too adventurous newcomers will end up in Loch Ness. And provide tasty snacks for Nessie, the loch’s resident monster?

So it goes

What do you get if there’s a cease-fire in Gaza? Israel terminates another 1,500 Palestinians.

Labour lies upset Scots

The government promised to hurl £200 million at a flim-flam carbon capture plan, which will have Nett Zero effect on the global climate. Does the government actually deserve a pat on the back for coughing up only £12 million? Or a series of extremely vigorous boots up the bum for wasting that much?

Today’s Question

Does a deal to supply Ukraine with Patriot missles from the US for air defence really ‘aid’ the embattled country if the missles won’t be delivered for several years?

Another wipe-out threat?

The next big health scare is a mutant flu concocted in the bodies of farm workers who catch both human flu and an animal strain. Thus there is a campaign to tell farm staff to get a flu jab.

Lame duck long shot?

As the Untied States brace themselves for mid-term elections, pollsters have the dazzling Democrats 8 percentage points ahead of the reeling Republicans.
    Winning control of the House of Representatives would encourage $thump’s enemies to drown him in impeachment attempts. Not that this would force a premature end to $thump’s reign. It would just be politicians wasting the customers’ cash, as they usually do.

Young ones with sense

Gen Zers are getting the blame for climate change because they refuse to go along with the Nett Zero BS requiring them to give up meat and the health benefits it provides.
    Which is encouraging, if they can spot a meaningless political gesture and ignore it.
