Viva! - Red Tractor Overview - Can it be Trusted?

Red Tractor is the largest food assurance scheme in Britain, that supposedly ‘promotes and regulates food quality’. But can it really be trusted?

Vegan Horizon points out the power & corruption underpinning the EU’s apparently stupid vote. This piece justifies why system change has got to be driven by changes in demand from people - system change through boycotts. That’s what the vested interests are trying to squash.

A woman with good sense and a moral compass providing an instructive contrast with a mediocre man whose arse has been bought 50 times over.

It's just a pity people like Caroline Lucas are in a minority in public life. Most people with her kind of integrity (and there are plenty) avoid politics.

The IPCC has previously reported net land use carbon emissions, while all other emission categories are reported as gross. This accounting obscures the fact that gross agriculture CO2 emissions are just as bad as fossil fuel emissions. 🧪

Figure 1. Effective radiative forcing by sector and emission 1750–2020. data are from table S6.

Because ethical veganism is a protected belief under the Equality Act, the MoD was breaking the law by previously not facilitating uniforms free of animal products. The #NHS continues to break the law by not offering, to ethical vegans, vaccinations that are vegan.

The RAF’s concession is not the end of the fight. It is evidence that the fight works.

The Ministry of Defence has finally conceded what should have been obvious: no one should be forced to wear the skin and hair of another animal.

With most MPs ignorant of the urgency, how can the UK ever reach net zero?

How can the UK government be trusted with the environment & animals when it breaks a promise made only 4 months ago? Not banning bottom trawling is just one example of its back-tracking. A charitable explanation might be that the politicians are being swerved off course by their civil servants.

UK Government Declines To Ban Bottom Trawling Four Months After Pledging To Do So

Government ministers say that the UK will not implement an outright ban on bottom trawling, despite pledging to do so earlier this year

“Now it seems a seminal report by the joint intelligence committee on the threats to UK security of the collapse of critically important ecosystems is being swept under the carpet by a government embarrassed by its failure to provide any leadership on the issue.”

And they scoff at people getting their news from other sources. The British Blatant Bias Corporation, and especially its Today Programme, is why I gave up on it for news after many years of faithful listening to R4.
