  1. More news of Israeli apartheid: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/apr/09/the-us-media-is-touting-israels-covid-recovery-but-occupied-palestinians-are-left-out?fbclid=IwAR3GXB31-C0Y1PA9PIEaBGf6qYmSG5BsNxv4ZnKte5UrR3jsqtFaarbsvGI
  2. Maybe send them to a gulag in Siberia.

Pointing out human rights abuses by the state of Israel, the IDF and illegal settlers isn?t anti Israeli propaganda any more than criticising South African apartheid was anti South Africa propaganda. I also post links from Jews for Justice for Palestine, The Washington Post, Channel four news, the Independent, in future I?ll include Human Rights Watch and B?Tselem when relevant. If you want to debate the rights and wrongs of Hamas you can start your own thread.
  4. More horror from the only democracy in the middle east: https://www.mintpressnews.com/idf-arrests-vegetable-picking-palestinian-children-behest-israeli-settlers/276394/?fbclid=IwAR0-f53nU1jG2XITmVY4Na1gRNaIU_Dp4S2jFHQRLtt6bxRAHPXps2TdrSk

  7. I think if it was my car I would prefer to know. Also don't think people who break into cars or steal from cars read the EDF, could be wrong though.
  8. You need to check your car.
  9. That's Brexit for you.
  10. Thanks, loved that vid!
  11. It was an execution followed by a cover up and lies.

  12. Why the hell do these people have the right to fine us like this????

  14. There's a lot of Testosterone flying around.
  15. Lots of volunteers so far thanks to everyone for the interest.
  16. Maybe the ones who smashed my window and stole my tools?
  17. Not.
  18. More news from the only democracy in the middle east: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/vaccine-israel-palestinian-palestine/2021/03/08/c43b6390-7fef-11eb-be22-32d331d87530_story.html?fbclid=IwAR2hfQo0q570AGSWGW6Aq5eBxrgLrwOZDGBZRzm4I91TVhUba52mdKoCHaQ And a rather horrible video:
  19. My bee?s survived the last winter. I didn?t expect them to, it was a weak colony to begin with and last October they hadn?t fully populated the hive. I was delighted when my daughter saw them flying three weeks ago and I have since done an inspection and the queen is laying already. When I brought them home and did an inspection last May the queen disappeared after one week. I don?t know why she disappeared but it sets you back six weeks at least. I had to feed them fondant, a mixture of pollen and honey, looks like marzipan, through out the winter and it?s paid off. The previous colony died of Nosema, a kind of bee dysentery: https://agriculture.vic.gov.au/biosecurity/animal-diseases/honey-bee-pests-and-diseases/nosema-disease-of-honey-bees#:~:text=Nosema%20is%20a%20serious%20disease,seen%20using%20a%20light%20microscope. I?ll try and get some pictures of the queen! So I?ll continue to feed them and may extract some honey later on in the season. Thanks for your interest.
  20. Thanks! RicB Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > What a great initiative! Wishing you all the best > with your hive(s). Good luck!
