A renegade polymath with binoculars and a beard , Bill was invariably funny and occasionally furious . He loved birds and loathed those who harmed them . He was delightfully unpredictable , sparky , smart and at times a bit spiky . Critically he really knew his stuff , and his passion was true - he didn’t just pick up his binoculars on telly , he went birding whenever he could . So he was genuine and that’s why we loved him , he never needed a script , and took scant interest in any he was given . He didn’t like rules and often neglected to play by them . This may have frustrated the serious and the worthy but it always amused his audience - he was an utter joy to be with . I recall finding a Black Woodpecker in a damp Dutch park with him once , he gazed at it intently , sighed , put down his bins , turned to me and just smiled . A massive grin . No words , just a beautiful childlike bliss . That says all you need to know about Bill Oddie .
Sadly we’ve not only lost a goodie , we’ve lost one of the besties .

"I don't want reform anywhere near government. Populists offer simple solutions to complex problems. They always find someone to blame & it's usually someone of colour or of a different religion. It's a load of old crap."

🚨BREAKING: Parliament will debate the petition Calling for a FULL public inquiry into a Russian influence.
🇬🇧 Unlike other parties who were infiltrated or hid. We campaigned for 5 years on this and it’s clear to us Russia interfered in the Brexit campaign. Do you agree?
Time to Exit Brexit.

Barack Obama hasn't been President in almost 10 years. MAGA racists cannot get past the fact that a Black man was President, won the Nobel Peace Prize, and will be remembered in history as one of the great leaders of the 21st Century.
RETWEET if you love President Obama! 💙

Paulette Jordan just won the Democratic primary for governor in Idaho. Meaning, she's now positioned to become the first female governor of Idaho--and the first Native American governor in the US.

🌟No Animal Should Suffer So Humans Can Look Better 🌟
Well done Brazil 🇧🇷 👏
Brazil has officially become the 45th country to ban cruel animal testing for cosmetics, ending a practice that caused pain for beauty products.
The ban, finalised in 2025, stopped the sale of cosmetics tested on animals and pushes companies toward humane, modern alternatives that already exist.
For years, animals were used in painful tests for things like lipstick, shampoo, and skincare. This decision finally draws a clear line that beauty should never come from suffering.
This is more than a policy change. It's a reminder that compassion can guide progress, and when it does, countless innocent lives are protected.

UK Minister ‘furious’ about England & Wales water bills.
Ministers talking PR gimmicks.
Public ownership is necessary but ruled out.
Since 1989 shareholders extracted £85bn in dividends which should have been invested.
Nationalise without compensation.
