Below is media generated propaganda that even Joseph Goebbels would have been proud of back in the day as HS2 bosses manipulate their way into naming the first HS2 Tunnel Boring Machines into that of iconic women.
If HS2 were in charge of the Atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki no doubt they would have elected for them to be called freedom and hope. They are presently running a campaign to name the first pair of tunnel boring machines to be used on the high-speed rail project.
HS2 Ltd has also temporarily closed its offices and its contracting partners continue to review works taking place across its construction sites to ensure they are operating within the UK Government and Public Health England advice on dealing with COVID-19. Find out more information.
In other words the destruction goes on and the propoganda desk is still open for missinformation and promtion of ecocide to one and all.
The HS2 Helpdesk remains operational all day, every day, and is your first point of contact: Freephone 08081 434 434; Minicom 08081 456 472; Email: HS2enquiries@hs2.org.uk. If you contact us by post there will be an extended delay in us receiving and responding.
Earlier this year, HS2’s contractor Align engaged with local schools in Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Hillingdon and asked students to put forward names of women who have made their mark on history through their achievements.
As their tradition dictates that in order to keep the tunnellers safe underground, tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are given a female name before they are launched. The women below were shortlisted and they now want you to vote for your favourite name for our machines. Voting rights to pretend that this is being done in a transparent and democratic way.
After the above news item they then run propaganda piece in an online magazine called railtechnologymagazine.com entitled HS2: More important than ever to invest in essential skills.
This is a question of propoganda versus truth everyone involved in the production of HS2 from the Boris downwards is responsible for this macroshambles that is being peddled across the media.
One of Boris’s motos appears to be if in a hole keep digging. The biggest infrastucture project for 100 years.
What will be the cost?
Of the 67 MPs constituencies crossed for HS2 high speed rail linked the majority object to it being built in their constituencies.
Thatcher banned milk from our schools and shafted the miners. Some people never forget or forgave her for that and it was very much what her legacy was defined by her critics.
Could Boris’s incompetent handling of HS2 and his efforts to bulldoze through the countryside be high Maggie moment which when it goes wrong with costs spiralling and ecocide and wilful destruction of this green and pleasant land being backed by him coming back to haunt Boris. To avoid a colossal bill coming down the tracks, the HS2 minister Andrew Stephenson must act.

Britain has the worst coronavirus death toll in Europe, official figures showed on Tuesday, prompting calls for an inquiry into the handling of the pandemic.
The government’s tally of fatalities across the UK reached 29,427 for those who tested positive for coronavirus, exceeding the 29,029 recorded in Italy – until now Europe’s worst-hit country. Italy’s total does not include suspected cases.
Let the truth set you free.
If this virus is not a serious enough issue that needs honesty and transparency in the eyes of Boris Johnson than quite frankly nothing is, only with the light of the truth may we see and learn from what was done.
This not some shoddy back room deal lives have been put on the line and deaths have been generated as a result of decisions made.
Above is yet another example of how the UK state mechanics fail’s the people, politicians and legal mechanisms of the UK. If the civil service have to resort to lying to set and maintain their agenda, then it is important to know what exactly that agenda is. In the mist of time they have probably forgotten who for what reason the design and decision that was made was and why it is important to stick to it.
I am still having dealing with Network Rail and the Police presently and even though the Police Officer is acting within the letter of the law I am in no way convinced that Network Rail are acting in the letter or the spirit of the law and am awaiting a response now from Natural England concerning the Truth of a matter. It will be interesting to see if they are also accomplices in the bull that enables ecocide and the destruction of wildlife to take place along swathes of the UK all slaughtered on the altar of progress!!
I just signed the petition “Land is Sacred: Stand With the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe” and wanted to ask if you could add your name too.
This campaign means a lot to me and the more support we can get behind it, the better chance we have of succeeding. You can read more and sign the petition here:
P.S. Can you also take a moment to share the petition with others? It’s really easy – all you need to do is forward this email or share this link on Facebook or Twitter:
So this is an unusual blog I have a lot I could say about very little and not sure yet how to say it. After the great support of my local green councillor I signed up to be a member of the Green Party of England & Wales. I try not to be political in my life and even thought I was a huge supporter of Jeremy Corbyn and really bought into the philosophy of ‘For the Many & Not the Few’ I never felt like he owned his own party and they seemed to blame him more for not being in power than they blamed the Tories. Which arguably left to an own goal for labour and a victory for the Conservative led by Boris Johnson at the election victory. It’s a pity your government was not as efficient at clearing the virus as you were at winning an election as it might not have quite so much blood on its hands then.
Green light goes ahead for HS2 by Boris’s Government presently see article from LBC radio again Bravo Boris another job well done.
So why am I bitching about this well I have spoken to 2 wildlife Police officers in the last 48 hours as well as receiving two emails from my elected councillor for my ward of St. David’s in Exeter. I supplied four photos of evidence of the damage that Network rail did to the railway track outside my house which led to the present investigation by the police and also led to me joining the green party.
I have also had East West Rail checking out at least one of my websites this week and they are Linked in to the people in government building HS2.
The logo is not very clear as they seem to have turned to the darkside.
I have also had confirmation from my Green councillor that they have policies to support wildlife which are as follows.
Caroline Lucas launches Green Party nature commitments, and A New Deal for Nature*
Place: The Linnean Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1J 0BF. Time: 11am.
Caroline Lucas, former co-leader of the Green Party and its candidate in Brighton Pavilion, will be showcasing the Party’s commitments on nature and launching A New Deal for Nature, at an event at The Linnean Society in central London.
‘ A New Deal for Nature is an independent report commissioned earlier this year to inform her work in Parliament, as well as to feed in to the Green Party’s policies on nature and stimulate public and political debate. It’s been written by a group of leading UK conservationists and nature writers, Mark Cocker, Jeremy Mynott, Jake Fiennes, Helen Smith and Patrick Barkham.
“We are not only running out of time on the climate emergency, there’s also little time left to reverse the catastrophic decline in nature and wildlife,” Lucas said.
“This election has to mark a turning point and the moment when people vote for Nature.”
*Green party commitments on nature and wildlife*
It is more urgent than ever to reverse the decline of wildlife and nature in Britain, one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. The 2019 State of Nature report found that 41% of species in the UK have declined, and a quarter of mammals are at risk of disappearing altogether.
The Green Party’s manifesto has more than 70 proposals related to nature and wildlife, with the boldest and best policies for protecting it – for the benefit of people and nature. As the UN global assessment of nature, the IPBES, made clear, the breaking of environmental limits presents extreme danger for all humanity.
Among manifesto pledges are a 10-year transition to agro-ecological farming, more outdoor learning and the introduction of a GCSE in Natural History to encourage better knowledge and understanding of nature.
One of the party’s key proposals is for a Sustainable Economy Act, so that the way we run our economy works with nature not against it, with new legally binding targets for biodiversity, soil health and water quality alongside other measures.
It is a broken economic system which has caused both the climate and biodiversity crises, and that has to be addressed if we are to restore our natural world.
That means moving away from endless consumption and GDP growth as the measure of economic success, scrapping environmentally destructive projects like HS2 and airport expansion, and repurposing the economy so that it also serves the needs of future generations.
While the Green Party manifesto is more ambitious and comprehensive than any other in its pledges on nature and wildlife, the Party recognises the importance of being challenged by experts to ensure policies measure up to the challenges we face.
*Report recommendations*
A New Deal for Nature focuses on eight areas for change including farming, schools & young people, urban wildlife, the marine environment and biosecurity. Among its 80 recommendations are:
* New national parks, with a goal of designating 20% of Britain asnational park. * Every farmer should devote a minimum of 15% of their land to nature,and be paid to do so. * All primary schools should deliver one hour a day outdoor learning every day, in addition to break time. * Twin every primary school with a farm * Encourage more wildlife-friendly gardens by casting off the obsession with tidiness. Ban the sale of all plastic grass, unlessfor sports pitches via planning permission. * Wild public land. Hospital grounds to be re-greened and re-wilded toaid patient recovery * Permanently protect some brownfield sites as SSSIs, give others “pop-up” temporary wildlife protection * A moratorium on expansion of aquaculture operations, particularlyopen-cage salmon farming, shown to be harming the aquatic environment.. * Improve early-warning systems to assess the threats posed byinvasive, non-native species which are growing by 10-12 speciesevery year. quite well.
Let the truth set us free.
Ecocide is the enemy and unless you know what the enemy is you don’t know how to face it or how to defeat it.
There is a global phenomenon of disinformation and hate speech, hate actions and hate sound sweeping across nations both now and for what feels like forever and I am trying to think of way’s my site can square the circle of misinformation and hate speech by dispensing its spread.
So I will attempt to apply the above principle now to my posts.

So stuff is still going to drive me go wild but I think I should be mindful of what I promote, how I promote it and to whom. I am also trying to apply this principle to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn Huwspace posts too.
So why bother, well it’s an attempt to combat lies, hate speech and for want of a better word the darkside.
For those folk going through dark times it won’t stop me watching news sites such as the BBC and Sky news or reading my papers such as The Guardian or New York Times. If your plight means you need money I also continue to fund my chosen charities but that does not mean to say I will give you a penny.
But I may not be able to blog or promote your plight publicly or even be aware of your plight, that is not to say I would or do not care for what you have or are going through.
So Went out to pick up supplies first thing this morning one of the items purchased was a new 4 pack of Guinness which I was looking forward to starting on tonight as I had not had a drink since I last went to a pub some 6 weeks ago. On the way back from the shops I saw some more network rail engineers. Not cutting up the trees and shrubs on the other side of the railway line. My thoughts went wild.
I thought this time I had a lot of work to do for my employer plus meetings to go to today so I could not afford to deal with this matter on my own and had to hope that the Police and my councillor could sort it out between themselves. I managed to get a brief photo from a distance of the men at work.
The top of the workers are the little orange dots in the distance which is their hi res jackets.
So logged into work and did as much as I could up to 5pm and then logged out and checked my phone and personal emails after that.
II had received a message which the police were also copied into which had only arrived in my email at 16:12pm that day. It was by my locally elected green councillor. She had checked with other neighbours regarding my concerns and also emailed Network rail, copying me and the police into her email
Dear All I have spoken to network rail and informed them that this matter has been referred to the Police for investigation. The reference number is 200501-000901 Network rail said they will be speaking to the duty manager to investigate. I have asked to be updated about the review. I explained that while the brambles may need to be cut back that it isn’t allowed during the nesting season and they should ensure that their work falls within the Act to permit them to do so.
I can confirm that there is wildlife that uses the embankment as resident have told me about it and I used this information in response to a recent planning application adjacent to the railway line.
Please can you let me know the outcome of this investigation.
I was so relieved to have someone else on my side with more knowledge of the law and awareness of who to contact and what to say and some of the little birds came back out to play today too.
We might not have save The Alphington railway line track to Marsh Barton but we let them know we new what they had done and asking for an explanation as to why thsi had been done.
So that’s all I know now. I can’t magic the trees out of thin air or prey for the birds to have their homes back. But hopefully those that had built nests can fly away and find homes else ware as wildlife refugees to try again.
I will try and keep you updated on what happens next if anythink. After work tonigth I also sat back and had my first pint in over 6 weeks tonight I normally don’t drink at home but this is in no way normal so.
