#ShitLawnOfTheWeek goes to Flawless Landscapes...again. Too much paving, #ShitLawn, useless box balls, light pollution and more paving. "Landscape" companies need to do better

The Daily Mail has - you've guessed it - given over its lead comment slot today to a writer attacking the "woke" "climate alarmist" Met Office. I'd never heard of him, though. So I googled him. He's a "speech writer and consultant" for "companies operating in the energy sector"

Tonight we've unbelievably had reports of 'Floating sky lanterns' (also referred to as Chinese Lanterns) in the Earls Barton area. These pose a HUGE fire risk all year round but tonight, it is quite frankly reckless and endangering life, wildlife, crops & property. PLEASE STOP!

#Grenfell is a tragedy, tragedy and abhorrent mistakes were made leading to death and suffering of innocent people. But please don't release balloons in memory, as they will sadly lead to wildlife suffering and dying. Thank you. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š

Local children have released balloons in memory of each child who died in the Grenfell tower fire. Listen live to the end of the multi faith service: bbc.london

#Grenfell The buck stops with the government. They allowed the cladding to be used.
Bereaved loved ones led a moment's silence for the Grenfell Tower victims at Westfield shopping centre - just over a mile away from the tower block where 72 residents lost their lives on 14 June 2017 trib.al/Rx0iR33
It is absolutely tragic that a young woman and her child have died, but why remember them by releasing balloons that will only come down as rubbish somewhere else, potentially killing wildlife and livestock? There must be a better way.

This practice of memorializing people by releasing balloons lethal to countless animals is just horrible -- and only compounds the loss with more death.

There's one 40ft up in my neighbour's sycamore. She can't remove it. It's been there c3 years, slowly degrading with occasional bits dropping off for the fox cubs to inadvertently eat & constant threat of entanglement to innocent birds #balloonsblow @BalloonWatch @BalloonsBlow

It is comprehensible that people have different views on sky lanterns but some haters just cannot refrain themselves from making idiotic comments

Thank you so much @timfarron and @EdwardJDavey for meeting me twice this week and #BackingBritishFarming
This Monday will be the most important day for British farming in my lifetime. It's not enough for MPs just to wear wheat badges or tweet hashtags about how much we love our farmers - if we really care about British food and farming standards then we must vote to protect them.
