This article is comedy gold! I particularly enjoyed the list of straight pride events in the past, such big successes!
The best bit of your nonsense is where you say composting isn't composting
I'm not maintaining most of my shit, half-assed maintaining some, and meticulously maintaining some (veg patch).
The meticulous part doesn't do well unless the unmaintained part is left to do its thing. When people interfere it suffers. That's how nature and biodiversity work. Leave it to do its thing and generally it works out itself. Every now and then you may need to intervene if something is becoming problematic and choking out everything else, but generally nature knows what it's doing.
The thing that makes not maintaining your shit some great intentional effort, is the constant battle against other humans who wish to cut everything down and maintain order. If you're a sole owner you can tell them to fuck off, but if members of your family disagree or it's a communal space, that may be far more difficult.
Funny you chose those plants in particular though, because dandelions and various types of thistle are both recommended by the Royal Horticultural Society as being of particular aid to pollinator insects.

5 MPs don't have the power to implement much initiatives and ideas. Look at the Greens, Lib Dems, SNP, Plaid Cymru, etc, for evidence of that.
We know what his ideas generally are, and he makes sure they're plastered all over the place. We don't need to spread them, for him, here too.
His power is in being a celebrity, getting his bullshit spread, not in elected office. Don't spread it for him. That is, unless you agree with his bigotry I guess, but I've seen your name around and you seem sound.
They've poisoned and clear-felled and strip-mined this earth
Made a cess pit of the paradise that was ours by birth
They've raped and they've burned and they've plundered our world
Our banner of resistance will now be unfurled
We're nailing our colours right up to the mast
The sands of time are running out fast
To stop the nutters destroying our home
Kidnapped from our children from whom it's on loan
Enough is enough is enough of their greed
Mass eco-defence is what the earth needs
Terra-ist action all over the land
To stop the lunacy the rich have got planned
E.L.F. strike in the dead of night
See the bulldozers are burning bright
Construction area totally trashed
Earth-rape machinery utterly smashed
Some might say that we're too "extreme"
But all we want is air and water that's clean
And a green earth not a desert is what we need Don't let them sacrifice it on their altar of greed
Rise up and conquer your fear
They can be stopped like Jose-Maria
Our world a toxic slag-heap they will make
So take whatever action you feel it's right to take
It's up to you it's up to me to make a stand
Our generation holds it's future in it's hands
Time to fight back let them do their worst
Green anarchy in action - put the earth first!
Lol, claims they're being authoritarian by... upholding their rules, upholding equality, upholding human rights, and preventing transphobia? Okay TERF.
I know who he is. As a teenager I thought he spoke sense, as an adult I realise he's full of shit.
I don't expect he knows what Lemmy is either, but that doesn't stop his talking points from appearing here. Upvotes and downvotes are meaningless, Reddit karma was a stupid thing to care about, and even less so here. But they do determine what gets seen.
If we don't want to spread hatred, intolerance, and bigotry then we need to stop spreading the words of a hateful, intolerant, bigot. That means not posting everything he says, not upvoting what he says. Because in doing so we help spread his message, we help normalise intolerance in our society.
Ignore him.
Fuck Nigel Farage. Don't upvote and normalise whatever shite he's talking.
Blank him from your mind, politically ostracise him. He's not in government, he's not in the official opposition. He has barely more power than the average celebrity. His power comes from talking points. Don't give him any.
When friends and family bring up his latest bonkers outpouring, tell them he's a nutcase that you won't engage with because he doesn't engage in good faith. Don't discuss him.
He was given a platform by the BBC on the likes of HIGNFY and Question Time, his opinions became legitimised. Remove that legitimacy before it takes over any more than it already has.
Abuse of terrorism laws to repress opinions the government disagrees with. Who could have seen this coming when those laws were introduced!
"This is about the threats that shouldn't be made. I won't say too much because there's a court case on, but I don't think that's appropriate," he added.
Then why say anything at all, Keir?
It's not appropriate for him to say anything.
Partially because there's a court case, and partially because which musical acts play at a music festival are so far removed from the remit of the office of Prime Minister it's ridiculous he's commenting on it in the first place.
And the civilian population are just meant to die while that is happening? Pray every night their home, of all the homes bombed each night, isn't one of the ones hit? Hope upon hope that missiles don't rain down upon them?
If Russia is such a threat, and we are currently at peace and have time, would it not make sense to build some defensive capabilities at the same time as offensive ones? While there's peace and time to do so? But there's nothing, no bunkers for civilian populations, no mass education of what to do in x and y scenarios, just extra missiles, drones, and planes.
Does that sound like countries that are preparing for defense or ones that are picking a fight?
Russia is the boogeyman used to justify increasing military spending, and then instead of spending that money protecting our populations from them, it's used to attack somewhere else. Iran this time, Afghanistan and Iraq and countless other places in the past.
This isn't defence spending, we don't need to increase it to 5% of GDP when we already have some of the best funded, equipped, and trained militaries in the world.
Some people just want to justify blowing some shit up.
I heard it was a special military operation, only meant to last 3 days.
