@ElizeBiermann @BylineTimes Byline Times is usually very good journalism. But I think this article side-stepped that @GaryLineker was referring to the build up to the genocidal Nazi era, not that it had arrived - before 'we' knew there was genocide to come. That's how I understood him.

@ECOWARRIORSS Looks to me to perhaps be because his message is erring on the positive side and saying that we can stop climate change with action, that it is not too late. I think that differs from some of the slant in your tweets? Or could he have felt preached at?

The future is not looking bright, but deadly. Migration will continue to rise as lands become inhabitable - we must accept this, make room for migrants whilst at the same time help grassroots orgs to mitigate issues - @Maru_foundation is one of these orgs

@nelnanandnora @Depheruk It looks like a key meter, the most expensive way to have energy, usually in privately rented properties which are the poorer type, renting to those on low incomes. It's a national scandal. But created so landlords don't have tenants absconding leaving debt

I'm sure I read somewhere that there is no legal obligation for an asylum seeker to seek asylum in the first safe country they enter???? Read the article!

Local New Forest friends, we are thinking of selling our 4-berth caravan & getting a 6-berth: A Swift Challenger 530 SE 2011 & in good condition, may also come with an awning & extras, depending which caravan we buy. Price likely to be around £10,000. Viewings by appointment.

Dear @RishiSunak @SuellaBraverman If you are so sure that asylum seekers who leave France in small boats will not be entitled to claim asylum, set up an agreement to process in France, if accepted you can fly them here. Sorted

@Maru_foundation I'm trying to think of ways, as I have to buy all my food, to buy taking responsibility for my part in climate change. Have decided to try and buy more food produced in Britain (seasonal veg and meat) and some organic produce, if my funds allow!

@theAliceRoberts My experience of the CofE over many years, after Baptist and other non-conformist churches, is that the CofE on the ground has always been the most accepting and least condemning of same sex couples. There are clergy who are in same sex marriages

@MumClimate I have witnessed this 'ganging up' on someone, often particular people. Partly I think they do it to try and negate what you say, it does seem organised and targeted. It's all so negative - these are not healthy minded people. Blocking is voluntary too
