Keir Starmer is preparing to tie Britain to the EU's Net Zero plans in a move that would impose radically stricter 'green' energy targets on homes and businesses, leading to further deindustrialisation and impoverishment.

Dumping of sewage into rivers is supposed to happen only 'exceptionally'. But in Odell it occurred for over a third of the year. In Bedford it may be worse ? but the monitoring equipment is broken, says Mike Wells.

Michael D first to call for hare coursing ban

category international | animal rights | opinion/analysis author Monday October 31, 2011 17:32author by Protect our Hares Report this post to the editors

Michael D Higgins, our new President, was the first member of Ireland's parliament to push for a ban on live hare coursing
Hares in their natural habitat...Michael D tried to have them protected by law
Hares in their natural habitat...Michael D tried to have them protected by law

Our poet-president Michael D Higgins, has beena life long champion of Ireland's wildlife heritage. Wehn the Senate was debating the Wildlife Bill in 1975, he tried tro have an amendment included to outlaw hare coursing...and among those who backed him were Mary Robinson, another future President of Ireland...and Dr. Noel Browne, an Irish political hero who had stood up to the might of Catholic Church when it intervened to prevent his Mother and Child Bill from ever seeing the light of day.

Though Michael D's anti-hare coursing amendment failed, the campaign he helped to initiate continues.

A couple of days before the Electon I saw a comment suggesting  that Michael D refused to say whether he would

continue to be an outspoken supporter of the people of Erris in their battle against Shell.  Anyone want to cast any light on

 this?  An Taisce were quick to discard us once they'd used us to further their own agenda.   Surely M.D.H is made of

sterner stuff?

That figures. Any decent principled politician would be opposed to the shameful so-called sport of hare coursing. I look forward to the next push in the Dail against this state sponsored cruelty to animals.
