But from Monday the Brecon Beacons national park is dropping its English language name and scrapping its logo of a fiery greenhouse gas-emitting beacon as it launches a plan designed to tackle issues in the park created by the climate and biodiversity emergencies.

Those "vintage dolls" are about as offensive and overtly racist as anything can possibly get. What do you suppose their being on display "says" to black customers? might as well stick a sign on the door, "no blacks, no Irish, no dogs". FFS.
...and the swastika is simply an interesting old Sanskrit graphical element? Yeah right.
And to give a little more context, the times sourced an old SM post by the owner of that pub with a picture of one of the gollies hanging by its neck from the ceiling with the caption ‘this is what they used to do in the American south’.

Not made a big thing of in the news but it's suggested that there's a bit of a 'thing' going on between the landlord and a few other likely lads. (Hardly a surprise). (Not that that will stop random speculation about BLM, yadda, yadda yadda).
Doubt is not a pleasant condition.

The SNP is facing the loss of more than £1million of public funds if it cannot find a new auditor to sign off its Westminster finances, it has emerged.
The party’s Westminster Group, which relies on money from the Commons authorities to pay staff wages, needs to find new auditors by May 31 to avoid a cash crisis.
What auditors would risk signing off SNP accounts in the middle of a police investigation into SNP finances?
The SNP are £bankrupt, although I expect some fudge will be found to keep Billy Bunter in pies

On top of trying to explain where most of the £600,000 collected for the Indy campaign went, the SNP stand to lose their Westminster public funding.

And it gets worse! Guess we haven't seen anything yet ...
In a last-minute deal, US voting technology firm Dominion has settled with Fox News just before their defamation trial was due to begin.
Dominion had sought $1.6bn (£1.3bn) from Fox, whom it claimed spread falsehoods about its voting machines in the 2020 presidential election.
The final settlement agreed between both parties was for $787.5m.
The "real cost" of the case, Fox said, would be the "cherished" rights to freedom of speech and of the press enshrined in the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
Dominion's lawsuit argues that the conservative network sullied the electronic-voting company's reputation by airing falsehoods about the 2020 vote being stolen from Donald Trump.
Legal findings released ahead of the trial suggested that a number of Fox executives and journalists privately questioned conspiracy claims the 2020 presidential election was stolen but still put them on air.
In one series of text messages, host Tucker Carlson said the claims were both "absurd" and "insane", while another host, Sean Hannity, said privately he did not believe them "for one second".
Fox has said the words were taken out of context.
Ahead of the trial, Judge Davis ruled that the baseless claims against Dominion had already been proven false.
Fox still faces a second, similar defamation lawsuit from Smartmatic, which is seeking $2.7bn from Fox for allegedly spreading allegations that the firm helped "steal" the 2020 election.
And it turns out he's a rich son of a rich tycoon who more than likely has the regular hypocritical carbon footprint. As usual, they're elite toffs who have a larger carbon footprint than us (if even the carbon footprint thing actually exists).

Of course he is.
They all are. They literally have fuck all to do in their sad little over privileged life that they have to find other things to do, like this.
They are probably all law graduates that are about to go on their 3 year gap year travelling around the world, but we can't drive cars down the road as it's killing the world maaaaan!
Cat killing time, ridding the world of furry little shit machines, one at a time.
Honestly, you organise a bit of a day out for the kids, away from their screens, and some killjoy comes along and cancels it. It's political correctness gone mad, I tell ya.

Throw petrol on it. Strike a match. Woof !!
