This is a national disgrace @BorisJohnson you should be ashamed of yourself, allowing this sacrilege to occur. What kind of faux green government are you?

Thank you @HughFW for highlighting this tragedy. Hospitality, open hands and compassion for the most vulnerable in our world, including asylum seekers is the first sign by which a society is judged. I pray the soul of our country will find it’s warm hearted compassion again.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall@HughFW

The food rations (there’s no other word) being given to asylum seekers makes the disgraceful school food parcels we saw a couple of weeks back look like Christmas Hampers. We are judged by how we look after the most vulnerable – and we need to do a lot better than this…. https://twitter.com/wlondonwelcome/status/1357443601463140365

Check out Xavier’s story who has been working alongside the PeaceGold programme in eastern DR Congo. It is this kind of transformation that makes being in ethical jewellery so rewarding. https://www.peacedirect.org/earth-day-xaviers-story/

Government breaks promise to maintain ban on bee-harming pesticide. This is awful news. As a beekeeper and small-scale farmer dedicated to diversifying our ecology, neonics will do huge damage to our pollinators. ⁦@NFUtweets⁩ needs to rethink itself. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jan/09/pesticide-believed-kill-bees-authorised-use-england-eu-farmers?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Very happy to announce that all the Fairtrade Gold wedding rings have now been priced and are ready to go live in the next few days. Many people say Fairtrade Gold is more expensive. I invite you all to check out the range and the prices. We have attempted to keep quality and purity high, only 18k gold available and prices accessible. It’s a beautiful thing.
