Against all the scientific evidence, the UK government is planning to EXPAND plans to cull badgers, despite killing 200k already. Sign the petition here, and help me save our furry friends:

The last Morris & Co window in All Saints’ Church, Putney Common is from 1930, the Christian virtue of Humility in the South Aisle, designed by Burne-Jones. One could be forigiven for thinking that St Agnes in the church's former Lady Chapel has just donned a scarf... (20/20)
