Can’t wait for the right-wing press to start calling the panda a snowflake.
I’m on board… Can’t see the sense in stuff like this either
Phil Foden’s mum blasted by neighbours over ‘deplorable antics’ at £3.5m Cheshire mansion
Manchester City star Phil Foden’s mum has been blasted by locals after a two-hour fireworks display in a quiet Cheshire village that left pets and children in distress
Phil Foden’s mum has been blasted by neighbours after a distressing two-hour fireworks party in the back garden of her Cheshire mansion.
Residents in the up-market village of Prestbury were far from impressed with Claire Rowlands who kept local children awake and left pets in distress with her loud celebrations. The 45-year-old was gifted the £3.5 million property by her son –Manchester City star Foden – who lives close by and gave no prior warning to residents.
The event began at 6pm last Wednesday and didn’t finish until 8.30pm with some comparing the display to one you would see at Disneyland or on Sydney Harbour Bridge. As a result, locals wrote an ‘open letter deploring the antics’ of the family.
“It was very loud and went on for a good couple of hours,” another added. "I know a lot of neighbours were very annoyed because it wasn’t your normal garden fireworks, it was display-standard stuff.
“It must have been deafening for those living close by. A few of the neighbours have complained because it was just too much for a residential area.”

15 minutes is already bad enough, 2 hours???

I thought they’d been replaced by drones.
The most curious thing is that the company has Russian links. When I first saw the headline and read the start of the article, I was literally musing about whether it could have been a Russian op, despite there being seemingly no reason for it to be, but then…
What a despicable world we live in.
The world is lovely.
It’s people who ruin it.

Fixed it for you. I for one refuse to be drawn into the same group than the Trumps, Putins or Netanyahous of this world, nor their despicable paymasters.

You may not be as bad as them, but we all have a detrimental effect on the planet and its ecosystems.

Cynnie’s theory of relativity then
I don’t agree with this. I’m member of the WWF, and a few years ago, they established quite clearly which lifestyle is sustainable, and which is not. They sent a test to their members (maybe it can still be found on their website, now that I come to think of it), with a list of questions allowing you to see where you stand in regards to a sustainable consumption of goods, travels etc. The result of that test was that as a person or rather as a family, we were fine. In short we were consuming ‘less than one planet’. But taking Switzerland as a whole, the average was a consumption of 2,5 planets 
, thus totally unsustainable.
Just to say, I’m living a comfortable life and miss not much of the good things on offer. But I’m not traveling around the world for short holiday or business trips, I’m not driving a monster car over 10ks of miles a year, I try to avoid the plane when I can, and generally, try to live in a balanced way. That makes a hell of a difference.
Of course, if you want to have an entirely natural planet again, without any human presence or only a tiny one, then it’s another thing altogether. We will have to be wiped out, which could occur indeed quite soon, if people like Trump, Putin or Netanyahou are further allowed by their paymasters to run amok.
Edit: found it.

Of course. The question how much we consume is fundamental though. There is a level which is ok, and beyond that, it isn’t. This test is useful in that regard.

Just done it, interesting.
Didnt give a result based on planets though
This country is officially fucked.

im not going to click on that link, but surely that didnt happen? and if it did, what was the context? was it law as a subject, or something to do with trauma…
dont get me wrong, its still wrong, but was it shown as if they were getting off, or shown as an educational suppliment (still wrong…but the motivations of doing so would perhaps assist with understanding why they werent locked up with the key thrown away)
It happened.
UK justice system of 2024.
ok.
what was the context, was this a human getting his kicks from sharing content, or did he/she (wrongly) share it as some background in studies or some such…
i really dont want to click on that link.
A story of that nature would have made the national news, not just the Oxford Mail, if it had been true. There’s no sign of it anywhere.
