Trump: 'I am not happy with the UK'
I'm so happy he is not happy. America is very good at starting wars and then letting everyone else deal with the consequences.

Starmer Drags UK Into Trump and Israel’s War on Iran
So he says he has learned lessons from Iraq? And I heard quite a lot about "legal action" on the radio this afternoon, does this mean he will be seeking to arrest Tony Blair ?

according to Global Military, the UK is only 1.5 above Iran whilst the USA is 24.8 above on their index. I find that concerning.

Fly-tipping across England reaches record high
Whilst I do not condone this nasty practice, I think some responsibility must be placed with local authorities. The availability of legal disposal sites has decreased significantly, and the cost to use the remaining ones has increased. My local tip for example has banned all vans and commercial vehicles, this was not the case a few years ago when commercial vehicles simply paid a reasonable fee. If there is no viable legal option, what will happen? Fly tipping. Local authorities have been cutting all types of waste management, including household waste, fortnightly bin collections for example? Also here the number of litter bins has decreased, and the remaining ones are always full or overflowing, Councils see waste disposal as a first hit for budget cuts, when this is backward thinking.

Arrest after Churchill statue defaced with graffiti
Without getting into the politics, this is the kind of act that makes groups with perfectly valid claims and arguments unpopular with the public. These are intelligent people, why is it so hard for them to understand that whilst I might support them for their beliefs etc, now I will not.

Park life; how good are our public greenspaces for wildlife? | BTO
And yet most local authorities see them as a target for budget cuts, Demonstrating the blinkered short sighted priorities of most local bureaucrats. I am always amazed that councils in the UK do not see the benefits to them and the communities they have duty of care to, of maintaining and caring for parks and green space. The knock on effects of setting such examples could be increased crime, increased care needs, increased mental health treatments and so on. All these paid for by local authorities with our money, costing more than simply taking care of parks and leisure spaces. I am a former park keeper and greenspace maintenance worker, and have worked for public and private organisations. I have seen first hand the cuts with decreased staff, decreased equipment and the exclusion of whole areas of greenspace from maintenance.

Record number of rough sleepers in England last year, official figures show
Without further information, this is a fairly useless number. How many are mentally ill, Immigrants awaiting Asylum, addicts unable to access support services, looking for a job but can't get an employer to take them on without an address, same for renting. Veterans? Illegal Immigrants? just saying rough sleepers tells me nothing. Is it supposed to be shocking? A surprise?
