Did you ever see a human get up and close with a Polar Bear
No because they would tear you apart
Yet humans can swim with sharks and sharks just look on curious
The monsters are humans who kill over 100 million sharks every year

Manufacturing Monsters - How Hollywood Demonised Sharks - Blue Planet Society
The media's portrayal of sharks has had profound real-world consequence, affecting conservation efforts, fishing practices, and public perception, often to the detriment of entire ecosystems.

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

I over the last 50 years or so, I have closely followed politics, particularly with regard to environmental matters, but also on all policy, because it is clearly interlinked. Since the Thatcher government, there has self-evidently been some sort of doctrine, that every party in power follows.

It's something to do with neoliberal doctrine, and it is about time, we found out, exactly what has been going on.
For the last 40 years or so, every party of power, not just in the UK, but in other Western democracies, has pursued essentially the same policy.

It's the latest excuse to do nothing, so this video explores it. It's good, which is to be expected because it's from "potholer54":
