Born Free is sorry to hear of the sad death of trailblazing investigative reporter, Roger Cook, who brought the horrific practice of ‘canned lion hunting’ to the world’s attention. Read a tribute from Born Free's Co-Founder, Will Travers OBE, here ⬇️ bit.ly/4eN5SZ5

Hearing the impact statements by the victims, seeing the disgusting footage filmed by these grotesque creatures and the judge gives them a slap on the wrist and even praises them for behaving in the courtroom... I feel so sorry for the two girls, the courts have let them down.

I adored this cartoon and owned a Raggy Doll. The theme tune & message of the programme was so ahead if it's time, you don't have to be perfect, don't change to fit in and just be who you are 🥰

Nobody asked him to. Nobody was watching. He just saw something needed doing and did it. The world runs on moments exactly this small.

Today is the first anniversary of the Bicester Motion fire. We are thinking of Jennie, Martyn, and Dave and holding their families, friends, and colleagues in our hearts.
One year ago today, we lost two of our own. On 15 May 2025, firefighters Jennie Logan and Martyn Sadler gave their lives in the line of duty at Bicester Motion. Alongside them, Dave Chester - a beloved member of the local community - also lost his life. Two more of their colleagues were seriously injured.

Jennie and Martyn embodied everything our fire and rescue services community stands for: courage, service, and selfless dedication to protecting others. Jennie, Martyn, and Dave ran towards danger so that others could be safe. Today, we remember them. We honour them. And we hold their families, friends, and colleagues at Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service and London Fire Brigade in our hearts.

Some of us would think twice, about moving a dummy like that with a wheelbarrow and a forklift truck. Lot's of respect and thanks to the crew involved

What we crave is an old-school government so boring no-one knows their names. Competent, professional. But we're led by a story-hungry media desperate for new drama for sponsored podcasts. If they had their way we'd have a new PM every month, each worse than the last.
