I’m quite proud of our legal system in the UK . No one is above the law , first arrest of a high ranking royal for 400 years ,
No one should be exempt.

Check out Common Starling that landed on birderlecia's Birdbuddy feeder Beautiful Common Starling landed on birderlecia's Birdbuddy feeder located in Belleville, United States!

I know they're an invasive species, but European starlings sure are beautiful #birds.

As a tourist who has visited your fantastic parks , $200 extra dollars for a couple would make us think twice , then you also loose the accommodation and hire car fees from local businesses. Surely a bad move

From a UK retired cop , could someone explain are these thugs actual law enforcement officers who have been properly trained and hopefully have some sort of moral compass or are they specially recruited bounty hunters ? They all seem to wearing a mix of different uniforms . Who are they ?

I'm thankful that I don't live in USA under this orange dicktator.
God save America from him.
I'll be thankful when we don't have to think about him.
It will take at least 10 years to enact laws to stop "him" happening again.
A South Africa type "Truth and Law" commission is needed.

🚨 SHOCKING 🚨

A HUGE illegal waste dump has appeared between the A34 and River Cherwell, linked to organised crime.

Every rainfall risks toxins washing into the river.

We’re calling on the Environment Agency & Cherwell Council to act NOW.

Our rivers cannot wait. πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡
