Their role is to make the outrageous demands of economic power look like common sense; to conflate what is good for billionaires with what is good for everyone else."
Powerful words from George Monbiot on environment charities that prostrate themselves before Capital.

How can an organisation be forced to apologise for telling the truth on behalf of its one million members? https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/if-the-rspb-cant-call-out-government-lies-democracy-is-under-threat/

But it's people called Rishi Sunak, Michael Gove & Thérèse Coffey who are promoting the policy. It's personal! 🤬
Is this the new #conservative spin? When Risha Sunak tells the UK public on #British #TV that it's "the right thing to do" to extract more oil & gas, as the #ClimateCrisis worsens, will Risha say that we should blame the policy not the decision-makers?
Complete bankers!

On the one hand, the Tories use fake "promises" to infer that they're motivated to sustain what's left of Britain's wildlife habitats (the greenwash), but their primary business policies keep resulting in actions that further harm wildlife
The #RSPB was basing the "liars" accusation on the evidence. But, it's a political "minefield" because the Tories are liars

Did the gaslighting crooks threaten the #RSPB's charity status?

"Is Rishi Sunak a lame duck?"
I'm sure the RSPB would have something to say about that.

"RSPB apologises for calling ministers 'liars' over environment pledges"
It would have been better for the RSPB to call Rishi Sunak a tit.

Visit an RSPB reserve & as well as the wildlife, there you will find informed & enthusiastic RSPB staff (volunteers & employees)
But, the RSPB has fallen for #greenwash. In the RSPB magazine are business adverts selling overseas #holidays with #CarbonOffsetting.
TIL about (the scam of) carbon offsets https://climate.mit.edu/podcasts/e6-til-about-carbon-offsets

We've spent the rest of the afternoon sitting on top of the cliffs in Overstrand (café as well - huge chunks of cake).
Now - we're back in #Cromer for fish & chips.
Mrs Mike is drugged up on too many pain killers and no longer cares about her back pain but says her chips are super.
What a life!

A #GreatBlackBackedGull wandered too close to the colony at @RSPB #Belfast #WindowOnWildlife and got mobbed by the #BlackHeadedGulls and #LesserBlackBackedGulls.
A seriously impressive bird but the others weren’t impressed.

Another first! I'm pretty sure it's a marsh warbler (Acrocephalus palustris) but I'm happy to be corrected. Singing from a tree-top and not in the reeds, hence my best guess. From today at RSPB Conwy in North Wales. #MyPhoto #MyWork #bird #birb #FediBirds #BirdsOfMastodon #MastoBirds #MarshWarbler #AcrocephalusPalustris #RSPB #Conwy #Wales #Cymru #BirdPhotography #nature #NaturePhotography #wildlife #WildlifePhotography #environment #outdoors #OC #UK #singing
