Thankyou to @officialthameswater for hosting residents. And thanks to Andrew for his honesty. For my own transparency, the unedited chat is on my YouTube. However… anyone who uses the Thames, listen to the whole chat. The last points are well worth taking on board. Sb

HUGE NEWS!! This is THE moment Scotland banned snares, licensed grouse moors and muirburn and implemented restrictions on brutal wildlife traps. By doing so, the government has taken a stand against wildlife crime.

A huge congratulations to all involved. Feeling quite emotional…
