  • Julian Forbes-Laird, Case Update!

    Send us Fan Mail

    JFL provides an update on the case featured in his earlier podcast And Another Thing,  explaining the successful outcome for his client: the prosecution was thrown out as an abuse of the process of the court, or, alternatively, because the prosecution related to an offence “unknown to law”. In a subsequent ruling, the Judge awarded JFL’s client a substantial six figure sum for costs. 

    As a refresher, the original episode featured the following:-

    • Why the Ancient Woodland Inventory is a fake, and the hazard this creates for housing delivery
    • The error of law in the Forestry Commission's Operations Note 52
    • The fraudulently construed Highways England felling licence, knowingly granted by the FC in deliberate subversion of the statutory framework'

  • Dr Frauke Bagusche, Author of 'The Blue Wonder' - Why the Sea Glows, Fish Sing, and Other Astonishing Insights from the Ocean

    Send us Fan Mail

     Astonishing events occur beneath the sea: a mysterious glow beckons at night, the smallest organisms play the largest role, and fish, who seem so taciturn, converse with each other—loudly. 

     But we only know a fraction of the sea, despite its size and intrigue—even the moon’s surface has been studied more than the ocean’s depths.

    In The Blue Wonder, marine biologist and diver Frauke Bagusche brings readers along with her into the ocean and offers solutions for the future.
