Invasive species in the UK

In rare cases, invasive species might reach the UK through natural avenues, such as animal migration or wind dispersal.

" What that actually means is of course the career civil service -- federal employees who don ' t get replaced wholesale every time the party in power changes, and who have legal protections to make sure that doesn ' t happen. Sometimes it also includes the military. (Sometimes it ' s the Deep State that ' s persecuting Ronald...

Landed Gentry and Health
BY MIKE MAGEE
“The title of our lands is free, clear, and absolute, and every proprietor of the land is a princess his own domains, and lord paramount of the fee.”

(Maybe you should check out Dame Edna.)What we ' re talking about here is the ridiculous ginning up of a moral panic by Republican politicians who have lost the country on abortion and same sex marriage. They don ' t actually want to offer any policy solutions to the econo...
