Sat, 22nd September: The People?s Walk for Wildlife - Central London


Recommended Posts

'This Saturday 22 September we can take our country walks to central London to make sure politicians see just how much we care about our animals.


The People?s Walk for Wildlife will start at 12pm with ?infotainment? from some of the top names in the world of wildlife. Then there will be a family-friendly walk winding through the streets of London. Animal costumes and face paints are encouraged! Would you like to come Ilona?


Here are the details:


Sat, 22nd September


10am: Gather at Reformers' Tree, Hyde Park, London

12 noon: Infotainment

1pm: Walk: Hyde Park Corner, Piccadilly, St James, Pall Mall, Cockspur St, Whitehall

2pm: Finish at Richmond Terrace


Every year is important for our wildlife. But this year is even more so. Brexit means big decisions that will impact on our wildlife for generations to come. New laws will be passed. It could be make or break for our bees, birds, and badgers. So now is a great time to show our politicians how much we love nature.


Since the 1960s our wildlife numbers have been decimated. We?ve lost over 44 million birds and half of our hedgehogs [2]. When we go on our country walks we?re no longer hearing the sounds of nature our parents and grandparents enjoyed. It will take people power to stop this.'

I was interested in this until I read this scaremongering bit from the Remoaners camp....you have NO IDEA about what the impact of Brexit will be on our wildlife- the biggest threat is overpopulation and the inevitable demand for housing- we are the most densely populated country in the EU...I wonder why?

F56k's sake, is there nothing you can't make about immigration? Such an utter monomaniacal bore.


On the actual topic, the Government has had to pass protection for wildlife in order to conform with EU directives - occasionally even having to be taken to court to make it fulfil its obligations, for example in the case of the harbour porpoise. We have a government that refuses to raise taxes in order to put adequate police on the streets to protect the human population, and you believe that without regulatory oversight it's going to do anything to protect hen harriers or stag beetles? Good luck with that.


ETA The UK isn't the most densely populated country in the EU. If you want to use the weasel methodology of the ignorant far right (and I'm sure you do) and say you're just referring to England, we're still second to the Netherlands. In any case, population densities are extremely relative: Spain, for example, has an extremely low population density, but that's because large areas of it are desert or sub-desert and to all intents and purposes uninhabitable. China is only 80th in the world. But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of a good old "it's all dem immigants' fault" whine - you never do.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
