Hey @Conservatives, to conserve means to keep or protect something from damage, change or waste. How's that going???
Will someone stand up at #COP26 and call out Johnson for discharging tons of sewage into UK coastlines as soon as #Brexit slammed the door on the EU's environmental British rivers and beaches program? 9000 miles of rivers, 95% of water at beaches cleaned by the EU!🙄I despair

Crumbs, this is controversial!

I've read the first edition of this, so I'm really looking forward to reading this revision. Nice one @Toby_Driver1!

Be careful herd ...
Please know we did our best. We shouted from the rooftops that this would be the consequence of letting the virus run rampant through a partially well vaccinated population many of who are no longer wearing masks. NHS staff must keep speaking up. independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

Made me smile 🙂
A handy comparison of @MarcusRashford and @afneil as Neil's rag @spectator attempts to take on the England star.

From the VC by email "By taking this approach I believe we can continue to develop archaeological research, knowledge exchange, teaching and learning, as well as collaborations with other universities ". His nose must have reached the screen by the end #SaveSheffieldArchaeology

I'm slightly shocked to realise that's the first time England have reached an international football final since 2 years before I was born ... I'm 53!!!
If you can, please attend or drop in to our online rally to #SaveSheffieldArchaeology this Friday lunchtime between 11 and 1. You do not need a Facebook account to attend. facebook.com/events/56494023…

Intriguing. I've just bought a ticket to watch this when it becomes available tomorrow. Plus a voluntary donation to @MIFestival, because the Arts need all the help they can get at the moment. Total cost - £10. Happy customer 🙂 bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment…
If you're unaware that @sheffielduni plans to close its world-leading Archaeology Department, this article explains everything rather well. #SaveSheffieldArchaeology wsws.org/en/articles/2021/07…

I'll just leave this here... #SaveSheffieldArchaeology
"The Department of Archaeology, is a centre of excellence for research and teaching.  It is one of the most dynamic departments of archaeology in the UK." ...which is why we want to close it. Sheffield University's managers proving satire is not dead. jobs.ac.uk/job/CHC381/teachi…
