Refugee Badger Flies


Suitable embellishment, in the form of verbiage, has been made to The Bad Badger.


Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that those who just a couple of weeks ago were shouting loudest that All Lives Matter are the ones now screaming for the Royal Navy to send refugees from war torn Syria, who risk their lives to get here in flimsy boats, back to France post haste? Here are some facts about them and here are some more about what they receive from the state. However, facts are extraordinarily ineffective on people who have already made up their minds on the basis of prejudice and bigotry.

What with all our fruit trees, we're suffering from a plague of fruit flies. Apparently placing dry wine bottle corks in your fruit bowl deters them. I've noticed they particularly like scotch, and they're not too bothered about a fine, single malt, or fish and chips from Lidl - my evening tipple with my coffee always ends up with a few drowned fruit flies in it. It doesn't help that the veg recycling bin isn't too far from the house, resulting in a cloud of fruit flies every time I open the lid to add more recycling matter.
