Letting your dog chase rabbits, hares, deer and foxes is already illegal under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.
So now Labour wants to ban trail hunting. You might as well ban walking dogs in the countryside as they chase rabbits, hares, deer and foxes. Labour are authoritarian control freaks.

A valuable flute went missing yesterday from the owner's bike on the way to a lunchtime session in Cassidy's in Camden St. It has huge sentimental value and a reward has been offered. If anyone sees it, please send a DM. RTs appreciated.

Accepting a drink at someone's house is a minefield now. Sweeteners and flavourings cause migraines, and are in everything - herbal tea, tonic water, lemonade, fruit juice. Only water and ordinary tea are safe.

Everybody seems to be knocking off early for the year so I'll post a little wrap-up thread even though I'm still going. This has easily been the best year for ME/CFS & Long COVID w/PEM research. Useful shifts in best practises are evident, some cool studies but MOST IMPORTANTLY:

Folks, there is only one acceptable setting for Christmas lights. Static. STATIC. Any other setting should be considered an antisocial act. Possibly even criminal.

Has anyone considered the need to protect girls from pornographic influencers like Bonnie Blue & Lily Phillips?
Every parent should be able to trust that their daughter is safe at school, online and in her relationships. With Labour, they will be.

NEW: Six years ago today a boy was removed from his mother's care by the family court and banned from seeing her following the evidence of an unregulated psychologist. Now they will spend Christmas together after his successful legal bid to the high court. https://t.co/dRRcxSoiBI

Au revoir, Canada, you wonderful place. After 7 weeks, we’re heading home as a family of 4, with our daughter who is 3 today and our baby son. We leave with gratitude and love for this country - a beacon of equality and kindness - and pride that they carry the maple leaf passport

Better buses campaigners with mobility aids, prams & shoppers, took our demands to @TracyBrabin yesterday. As there were 2 ♿️users amongst us we had to take 2 separate buses from the bus station which rather underlines the point. Thanks to @itvcalendar for great coverage ✊
