RIP CHRIS REA - one of the greatest singer-songwriters and guitarists Britain ever produced. He bounced back so many times from many different illnesses, but sadly passed away today. Here's a lovely interview he did with Bob Mortimer a few years ago. https://t.co/WpqwNrR6Qg

This is staggering ignorance of nature and our environment. Staggering
