The ruminant family, and the one job each of them does that nothing else on earth can.
The cow turns a wet hillside into beef and milk, and leaves the soil better than she found it.
The sheep grows a fireproof, waterproof, compostable coat every year, out of grass and rain, and then gives it away for the price of a haircut.
The goat eats the bramble, the scrub and the invasive weed that strangles everything else, and asks only for a weak point in the fence.
The water buffalo makes the milk that becomes real mozzarella, standing in marsh a cow would sink in.
The yak gives milk at an altitude that would kill a lowland animal in a week, and carries your bags up there as well.
The reindeer feeds and clothes entire peoples above the Arctic Circle, on lichen and moss, in the dark, for months.
The bison built the deepest soil on the planet by walking across it and eating.
Seven animals, one gift each, and not one of them can be replaced by a crop, a machine or a sachet.
Every one of them is classed, this decade, as a liability on a spreadsheet by somebody who has never been cold.

The results in the US mid-terms give those of us who abhor the politics of Trump hope.
Hope also that voters in the UK are also turning against those who spout divisive, cruel, corrupt politics.

Poundland supplier 'will lose millions'.
Govts have done nothing to curb predatory practices of private equity.
Need worker-elected directors on boards of large companies.
Abolish corporate tax relief on interest payments,
Keep PE out of vital areas.

BREAKING: HOLY SMOKES! Democrats now control enough states to effectively abolish the Electoral College through the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
Republicans did NOT have this on their bingo cards...
Under the Constitution, states control their electoral votes and are allowed to decide how they are allocated during presidential elections. Currently, almost every state gives its votes to whoever wins the state.
In practice, the current system means that a candidate can win the national popular vote, but lose the election because small states like Wyoming exert undue influence on the outcome. That state has 3 electoral votes with a population of just 577,000 people. California has 54 electoral votes and a population of 39.5 million people. So a vote in Wyoming is essentially 3.8 times as valuable as one in California.
Since 1992, Democrats have won the popular vote seven out of nine times.
Under the NPV, states that join agree to give their electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote, not just their own state. So a state could go red on the map, but if the Democrat wins the national vote, they still get that state's votes. And vice versa of course.
The crucial mechanism is that the compact doesn't trigger until the member states have a combined power of at least 270 electoral votes, the number needed to win the White House. So far, 18 states plus D.C. have joined, totaling 222 electoral votes. We only need 48 more.
Now is the chance to pass this measure in every state possible. Democrats won both houses of the legislature in Wisconsin for the first time in 18 years (10 electoral votes). We won the Pennsylvania state Senate for the first time since 1993 (19 votes). We now have a trifecta in Michigan (15 votes). And we won the governor’s race in Nevada (6 votes).
10 + 19 + 15 + 6 = 50.
222 + 50 = 272.
And if we hold our lead in the Arizona Senate, that number could climb as high as 283, more than enough to trigger the compact.
In addition to removing an imbalance in our system that favors Republicans, this novel approach would fundamentally change how candidates run their presidential campaigns. Currently, they are incentivized to ignore most of the country. If you live in a “safe” state, red or blue, your vote for President is basically decided before you cast it. Campaigns spend their time and money in a handful of swing states while the rest of us watch from the sidelines. If the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is adopted, they'll have reason to hit every state because they're aiming to win the largest swath of the country as a whole, not just certain states.
States have until July 20, 2028 to join the compact in time for the next presidential election.
We can fix our democracy. The time is now.

This is why they don't teach kids at state schools about politics. They'd quickly figure out that capitalism is a scam...

The Reform deputy leader is up in arms over the government's proposed deal to slash post-Brexit checks on British food and agricultural exports.
The government reckons removing the bureaucratic obstacles could eventually deliver around £5.1 billion a year in economic benefits.
Sounds useful, doesn't it?
Not if you're Richard Tice.

This is the same Labour Government letting B52 bombers take off from British soil to bomb Iran - while people here at home pay the price of Trump's illegal war in spiking energy prices.
Warm words about ending the war won't cut it - Burnham must end the UK's participation.

Eat a mouthful of grass and you get nothing. It goes in green and comes out green, with a slightly sore jaw for your trouble.
Eat straw and you get nothing. Your gut cannot touch cellulose, and it will tell you so for two days.
Eat acorns and you get tannins, a bitter mouth and a very long afternoon.
Eat bracken and you get a carcinogen with a view.
Eat nettles, thistles, gorse, rushes and heather and you get a mouth full of blood and not one calorie.
Eat the beet pulp, the oat husks and the spent brewer's grain and you get the sweepings the factory could not sell to a human at any price.
Now put the whole hillside in front of a cow.
She turns every one of them into steak, butter, cream, milk and a leather coat, on ground that will never grow a lettuce, using four stomachs and a fermentation vat you were not issued.
The grass she eats grew on rain and sunlight, for free, on a slope nobody can plough, and she walks up it herself.
She is the only creature on earth that can take a field of inedible fibre and hand you back the most nutrient-dense food there is, and she does it while being told she is the problem.
She is eating the 90% of the planet's plants that you cannot. Nobody at the table was going to touch them.
Best plant-based diet ever invented. It just has a cow in the middle doing the chewing.

Have you ever seen a political ad work so well that the leader of the opposing party crumbles on election day and gives you what you wanted - cutting money to Israel? Rebellion sends its regards.
Having said that, Trump's move is utterly bullshit. Really? We're cutting off aid to Israel? Are we cutting off the free $2.8 billion to Israel Trump signed off on two months ago for 40,000 bombs? Are we not merging our military technology anymore? Are we ending all of our wars on behlaf of Israel, including Iran?
No, this is an obvious smoke screen on election day because they realize how deeply unpopular it is to fund Israel, despite all of the cable news propaganda on behalf of that country. Tomorrow, we're going to go right back to following all of Israel's orders, including restarting a disastrous war in Iran.

Devolution was always an illusion.
Watch as your local services get trashed because Andy Burnham is a cuck to the perverted ideology of Zionist Israel.
Burnham echoes the spiteful nature of Israel by deliberately interrupting local services by imposing genocide support within local councils. This will backfire immensely when people see their local services grind to a halt.
Don’t forget that schools in England will fall under Zionist doctrine implemented via the Bell review, such that no child can criticize Israel over its genocide in Gaza.
How’s that for handing over your own country’s sovereignty to a foreign bloodthirsty dictatorship?
